In order to use Alexa to voice-activate your PowerView® Scenes, you will need a new PowerView® Hub (Gen 2). If you don't have a new PowerView Hub, please visit an authorized Hunter Douglas dealer to learn more.
PowerView® Motorisation merges seamlessly with Alexa to bring enhanced operation of popular Hunter Douglas window coverings to your connected lifestyle.
PowerView® works with Alexa to allow you to voice-activate your favourite PowerView® Scenes created in the PowerView® App.
Once you have designated the Scenes you want to operate with Alexa, simply speak “Alexa, turn on” followed by the PowerView Scene name to activate the Scene.
Sample Voice-Commands: "Alexa, turn on Good Morning" "Alexa, turn on I'm Home" "Alexa, turn on Good Night"
If you have multiple Scenes with the same name, but in different Rooms, simply speak "Alexa, turn on" followed by the PowerView Scene name AND Room name, like so:
Sample Voice-Commands: "Alexa, turn on Good Morning in the Bedroom" "Alexa, turn on Good Night in the Living Room"
Below are some tips for success when voice-activating your PowerView Scenes: * After performing a Discover, your PowerView Scenes will be located in Scenes in your Smart Home. This is accessed through the Alexa App Menu by selecting Smart Home then Scenes. * Make your Scene names easy to pronounce * Do not name a Scene "Off" * When possible, give Scenes unique names * If you utter a Scene name that is used in multiple Rooms, without identifying the Room, Alexa will respond "A few things share that name, which one did you want?" You can respond to Alexa with "in the <Room name>", such as "in the Bedroom" or "in the Living Room" to activate the Scene in that room. * Use Groups to combine multiple PowerView Scenes as well as Scenes from other devices for whole-home automation
In order to use Alexa with your PowerView® shades, you'll need the following:
Hardware Requirements: PowerView® Hub Gen 2 and at least one PowerView shade Account Requirements: PowerView® Account with a registered PowerView Hub (account setup and hub registration in the PowerView app). This ensures seamless account linking with the Alexa app.
