What Does My “Heart Button” Do on my Hunter Douglas Gen 3 Remote Control?
The Hunter Douglas PowerView automation has a remote control which has a button on it in the shape of a heart. This video shows you how to use it. Keep in mind that this is based on the Gen 3 version. Gen 2, which is older still works, but only with a single press. There are other differences, but this video is all about the Gen 3. Thanks for watching.

Video is useless because you didn't show how to open it. Mine is stuck or something.
where can I get exactly that with specific diameter?
that is cool.ok i need that
I have three banded blinds from 2018 with the battery pack for 12 alkalines. I emailed HD asking if there was a way to upgrade. The response I received earlier today said that the kits were available to retrofit the battery packs. But they went on to say the mount cannot be installed behind the headrail after production. That I need to find a place around the window to mount the dock and run the extension cable. I came to you searching to understand what the mount and extension cable look like and if this would work on my patio windows (3 blinds across). Is that piece you attached with the drill the mount and is the small cord that plugged into the alkaline pack the same cord plugging into the lithium pack? Its not a huge extension cord? Honestly, I feel relieved if this is all it is. I thought maybe what I wanted couldn't be done, but your video has given me hope.
We’d love to assist you. Please just reach out to us via our website. You’ll see our phone number there. Glad we can help!! Paul and April. (You watched both our videos on this. :)
@PaulKempler, many thanks for your help in both the CZcams video and when I called in. I never would have imagined getting an answer to my query as quickly as I did. I am very pleased the retrofit kit will work and I can make the switch over to lithium rechargeable with ease. Having both the older blinds with alkalines and newer Silhouettes with rechargeable, I knew I wanted to convert the older ones. You made my day.
Where are the links to the videos you refer us to?
Whats the link for the blinds?
I like the metal fascia's but cannot decide what color to pick. My window trim is bronze (dark brown) and my roller shades are white. Any advice on which color would work best? Should fascia match window frames or the color of the blinds?
This is very helpful. Can we have the automated shades open from the middle to the outside rather than all across to one side or the other?
Absolutely! Can we have them brought to you? If so, please reach out at www.kemplerdesign.com Thanks for watching!!
This is exactly what i was looking for! Thanks a bunch!!
Thank you for this video
Still leaks light in center and sides
Was hoping you had some tips on working around the casement window handcranks on the bottom, right in middle of the frame.
Thanks for the video.
Mine have broken as well. I have had 4 of them break. They are very poorly made and difficult to replace
Can you post the links to the videos you refer to that show how to change to the rechargeable battery pack?
Where can I get the pole and attachment?
Thank you for your Videos! Very helpful and appreciated 😊
How do you clean them? Thanks for sharing this video.
I have an old 8 battery 15.5 inch tube that is broken.nDo you have a fix for this?
Do you happen to have any demos showing these cellular shades with the retractable wand, per chance? Is it even possible with this type of shade?
Yes, currently you can do DuoLite with the UltraGlide, or retractable wand. It might be ending on May 31st, but I’m still researching that one. Here is a link to a video that shows essentially how it works. I will post it in the following comment.
czcams.com/video/lAEKoc629UM/video.htmlfeature=shared
Really want to see how to program the remote to have each shade a different channel.
I wonder are different motors interchangeable?
Absolutely, but you may need to get a new crown and drive. Those are the parts that attach to the motors and make them work with the tube and motor.
Hello, how can we purchase this? Do you sell it? Thank you!
We absolutely do! Just call us. Phone number is on our website. Talk to you soon. Kemplerdesign.com
Question- I understand the power supply and wiring needs to be different to support power view+. Is the blind itself the same? i.e. does a motorized blind work with both powerview and powerview+ connections?
I apologize for the late reply. I'm not sure what you are asking. Please call me. (Paul) I will try to get you the answer. kemplerdesign.com
Hello! We have sagging slats and don't know how to fix that. It only happens to a couple of slats and only on one side. Seems the nylon monofilament is not quite pulling the slats up enough. Would appreciate any solutions you may have.
what's the minimum reveal depth for inside mount for this product?
Where are you located? We currently have vertical honeycomb sliders but need to replace them ( after smoke damage). We can’t find distributor of these slides anywhere (Ontario, Canada)
Enjoy your content. Any way to replace a 12V power rise motor with the 18V power view motor?
Do you have a way to safely access the charging port if its mounted 20 feet high?
I'd be happy to go over the options with you. Please call me. Go to the website for the phone number. www.kemplerdesign.com Thanks, Paul
It would be nice to have a diagram of the connector pins so you could test just the motor function without the test box
This is the best video I have seen that explains clearly. X
That was very nice of you to share with me. Thank you!
Fix your sound please. Can barely hear you. This is why you have only 7 views. You should just redo the video.
I have a question plz. I just moved into an apartment with the old style sliding door with the vertical slat blinds. I have 2 sliding doors. One is in my bedroom and I am at a loss as to completely cover the top, sides and bottom to keep the light out. Any help would be fantastic. Thx
Sorry for the late reply. You have a challenge to handle on this one. Since it is an apartment, I’m not sure what regulations there are to change window coverings. Vertical blinds have limited ability to create room darkening. Are you looking for a simple solution or a complete re-do of the window treatments that are there? I don’t want to give you suggestions until we talk. I’d like to set up a live chat that I will record and then share with others with the same question. If you are willing to do that, then let’s set it up. It will be like a podcast interview. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!
I enjoyed your video, but how would a 4'9" tall woman reach the top of a window that's about 7 feet off the floor to operate the top down feature?
The answer to that question has to do with the mechanisms that are used. If you contact us at www.kemplerdesign.com we can assist you with it.
Great information. Always useful Paul, 😊
Hello brother, I know that song too well! I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. I am new to selling window coverings and have found your videos more helpful than any training I received. Thanks so much!
I appreciate you saying hello. We are happy to meet our friends. Feel free to reach out sometime. Philia.
Love these
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing, Paul!
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy to help.
This is what I've done with my patio drapes and it works great! We have 3 dogs who go in and out all the time so this function works great.
That is awesome! Glad you did the same method.
Too dark to see
I'm in the exploration phase. Please compare prices of the Norman Smart Drape and the Hunter Douglas Luminette. TX.
Hi, I saw from your other comment that you are trying to find the right solution for your patio door. The Smart Drape tends to be a lower cost option than the Luminette, but they are different. The way that we work is to do interactive design with our clients. By working this way, we help them to get exactly what works for them at the cost that they are willing to work with. Honestly, the window covering industry has changed so much over the last few decades. They have created true premium products and they are about integration with technology. If you want to have a phone chat, just go to our website for our phone number. We can talk and I can try to offer you some feedback if you’d like it. In the end, we’d love to be able to provide you with the perfect shade and also with the installation. We do provide that for people all over the country. Let me know. :)
I loved the look and went to a designer because I have a big patio door. Almost fainted when she told me the price. Thousands.
Yes, the Hunter Douglas Luminette is a premium product.
The before is much more beautiful in my opinion
This is why we post videos, so you can see what you prefer. Every client has a different viewpoint of what works for them. Thanks for offering your opinion on it.
Paul, you always do amazing work my friend. The Graber Virtual Design App is a great tool for showing renderings off how the products will look on their windows and doors. They recently announced that you will be able to stack drapery on top of shades, shutters, and blinds soon. In the meantime, you can save the screen shot with the Romans and then start over putting the drapery on top of that photo. I’m sure you know this already, but thought it would help others.
I've watched a few of these "setting limits" videos for Hunter Douglas blinds, and this is the first one that worked. Thank you!
The app battery indicator sucks.
Thanks for the reply!!
