Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation
Light & Privacy Control Powered Your Way, On Your Schedule
Motorized window treatments bring effortless comfort, privacy, and light control to your home at the touch of a button or a simple voice command.
With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, you have total flexibility in how your shades are powered. Whether you prefer the simplicity of standard alkaline batteries, the convenience of rechargeable power, or a set-it-and-forget-it hardwired solution, there is an option tailored to fit your space, routine, and budget.
Here is a breakdown of your power options:

Standard Battery Wand
Dependable, cost-effective, and easy to replace.
The classic power wand uses standard, readily available AA alkaline batteries. It mounts discreetly behind the headrail, keeping lines clean and cords completely out of sight.
- Accessible & affordable: No upfront investment in specialized chargers or adapters.
- Reliable performance: Delivers plenty of power for daily operation under typical use.
- Flexible placement: Can be mounted inside the headrail or placed in a satellite mount nearby for easier access.
Rechargeable Battery Wand
Eco-conscious convenience with zero disposable waste.
Hunter Douglas’s slim lithium-ion rechargeable wand offers a sleek, sustainable alternative designed to run seamlessly behind your window covering.
- Extended life: Typically powers normal daily operation for up to a year on a single charge.
- Rapid recharge: Snaps out smoothly and recharges in just a few hours using a dedicated wall charger or dual charging station.
- App notifications: The PowerView app lets you check battery percentages at a glance, so you always know when a top-off is due.
Internal Rechargeable Battery
Integrated design with ultra-clean lines.
Select shade styles offer an internal rechargeable battery built directly into the roller tube or headrail, eliminating the need for an external wand altogether. Simply plug the magnetic charging cable directly into the shade port to recharge in place.
Solar Panel Charger
Harness everyday daylight for continuous trickle charging.
Pair the rechargeable battery wand with a compact solar panel to keep your shades consistently topped off without lifting a finger.
- Ideal for hard-to-reach spots: Perfect for tall foyers, skylights, and stairwells where pulling a wand down isn't practical.
- Ambient light harvesting: Efficient photovoltaic cells generate power even in indirect daylight and standard window exposures.
- Discreet mounting: Attaches neatly to the glass or window frame to blend into the background.
Hardwired & Plug-In Power
Continuous, maintenance-free power from day one.
If you have an outlet nearby or open framing during a renovation or new build, hardwired power provides continuous, uninterrupted operation. A single low-voltage DC power supply can quietly power individual windows or an entire room with zero batteries to track.
