Adjust your window coverings to manage incoming light and energy usage throughout your home with the tap of a button or through automated operation. The app merges seamlessly with your connected lifestyle to provide a level of convenience and ease for your automated window coverings. Features: • Control Hunter Douglas motorized window coverings, individually or in groups, throughout your entire home. • Quickly and easily navigate the app using built-in tabs: Dashboard, Rooms, Scenes, and Schedules. • Add favorite Scenes, Shades, and Schedules to your Dashboard, so they appear first whenever you open the app. • Create customized shade position settings called "Scenes" for convenience, or to manage your natural lighting and privacy needs throughout the day. • Put your Scenes in motion using Schedules.

Configure Schedules to occur at a specific time, or based on unique Sunrise and Sunset times in your specific location. • Easily enable or disable Schedules, so that your blinds take the day off when you do. • Manage your Home from anywhere with RemoteConnect™.
