Control your home's window coverings from the convenience of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. The PowerView® App provides intelligent operation of popular Hunter Douglas window coverings. 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. Easily program your Scenes to activate automatically at different times of day to deliver the look and comfort you want, without you having to press a button. 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™.

ScreenLogic Connect's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
