Motorization & Automation Options

Motorized blinds are the ultimate level of luxury and convenience, allowing you to open and close your window coverings with the touch of a button or a voice command. With the automation options offered at VSC Window Coverings, you will never have to deal with tangled pull cords, sticky chains, or broken pull wands again. You can operate your blinds and shades independently or as a group, allowing you to get precision light control every single time. Some of the systems will even allow you to create schedules, opening and closing your smart blinds at a specific time. Automatic blinds also increase kid and pet safety in your home, eliminating the risk of getting tangled in strings and cords.

PowerView® Automation

A top-of-the-line automation system from Hunter Douglas, PowerView® Automation works with almost every kind of Hunter Douglas window treatment. You can automate sheers, shadings, honeycomb blinds, roller shades, roman shades, woven wood shades, screen shades, banded shades, drapery, and horizontal blinds. The PowerView® Hub connects to your home’s wifi network and becomes a central control point for all of your window treatments. You can operate your shades from a wall-mounted Scene Controller or Surface Remote, handheld Pebble® Remote, or the PowerView® App. PowerView® also fully integrates with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Assistant to give you voice control over your shades.

When it comes to powering the system, there are several options. There are headrail and satellite-mounted battery wand options that can easily be changed out without taking down your window treatment. These battery wands can also be rechargeable or alkaline battery operated or use C-Size batteries. If you want to avoid changing or recharging batteries, there is also a 16-shade DC power supply that flush mounts into the wall or a standard plug-in 18V DC power option. No matter which power supply you use, your PowerView® Automated Blinds are sure to be a convenient addition to your home.

For even more automation options, the Somfy® TaHoma® gateway and app allow you to operate all of your smart blinds and awnings from your phone.

You can also program your shades to open when your alarm goes off, bringing natural light into your bedroom. The easy-to-learn interface uses an intuitive slider system to give you precision control over every electric blind in your home. TaHoma® can also integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Smart Things, Philips Hue, and IFTTT to fully automate your home.

Norman® Motorization

Using the Norman® app, you can control your honeycomb shades, roller shades, sheer shades, and roman shades. Operate them one at a time or your entire home as a unit. You can also run the system using a convenient puck remote that gives you precision control. Along with the automated blind options you have come to expect Norman® also offers automated shutters. Their PerfectTilt™ G4 Motorized Shutter system is available on both their hardwood and compost shutters and features moisture-resistant motors. The system is powered by rechargeable batteries that feature an integrated solar panel to extend their life. The PerfectTilt™ system has an auto-brake safety feature that will stop the system immediately if an obstruction is detected, so there is no worry about it closing on a child’s fingers or a pet’s tail. The louvers can also be operated manually without damaging the motors, so you can open and close your windows even when you can’t find the remote.
