Amazon Echo, Google Home & IFTTT Motorized Blinds and Shades
IFTTT (pronounced “ift”) is the “platform” or “service” that automates web-application tasks. IFTTT lets the user create powerful connections between their devices.
IFTTT stands for “if this then that.” With IFTTT, you can create ‘if this then that’ connections (also called “Recipes”) between many different applications, (sometimes called “Channels”).
IFTTT works with devices including Amazon Echo, Google Home, Belkin Wemo, UP wristband by Jawbone, Withings, and the Philips Hue Bulb.
Hunter Douglas PowerView Motorized Blinds are IFTTT Compatible.
This means you can use your Amazon Echo (Alexa), Google Home, or other “Smart Home” IFTTT compatible device to control your home’s window treatments.
The control options are virtually unlimited!
You can program PowerView to move your window treatments to the exact position(s) you want “automatically” according to any schedule that you set during the day or night – even when you are not home.
You can even schedule your window treatments to automatically open and close according to your location’s changing sunrise or sunset times—which are precisely calculated by PowerView based on its knowledge of your specific location.
Your blinds and shades can even integrate with your thermostat to open or close your shades as the temperature in the room rises or drops. Or, you can coordinate your shades or blinds with your lighting – to turn on lights and when you close the shades, or turn off lights when you open them! The possibilities are endless!
