Hunter Douglas, a leading manufacturer of custom window treatments, has announced a major update to its PowerView® Gen 3 Automation platform: full support for Matter, the universal smart home standard developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance. With this integration, PowerView Gen 3 now offers broader compatibility, making it easier than ever for users to control their shades across top smart home platforms, including Apple Home, Google Home, and other Matter-enabled systems.
This enhancement comes via a simple firmware update to the PowerView Gateway or Gateway Pro, which now functions as Matter bridges. No new hardware is required, and all existing PowerView Gen 3 shades are fully supported—making it a truly future-ready upgrade.
“We want our customers to enjoy beautiful, custom window treatments without limitations—and that includes control,” said Lucia Giusti, Product Manager at Hunter Douglas. “With Matter, we’re expanding compatibility to work effortlessly with the smart home platforms people already use, while keeping the experience simple, seamless, and flexible.”
The Matter integration covers the full range of PowerView-compatible shades, including advanced styles such as:
- Top-Down Bottom-Up
- Duolite® dual-fabric systems
- Pirouette® A Deux
- Aura™ Illuminated Shades
To support a smooth transition, Hunter Douglas has also released a comprehensive guide with naming best practices and enhanced voice control capabilities—ensuring a setup experience that’s as elegant as the shades themselves.
With this update, PowerView Gen 3 Automation becomes a more powerful, open, and versatile solution—delivering beautiful design and smart functionality without compromise.
