I have a job coming up where the existing house has a bunch of hunter douglas shades being controlled by Crestron using the old BTX integration and it works.

They have put an addition on the house and are now adding the PowerView shades to the addition (I believe the existing shades are staying). Looking at the PowerView sample program I downloaded from the HD site, it shows a Scene Name. The help file doesn't explain what this is. Does this scene name need to match whatever the shade installer sets for the scene or do I just need to know what each Scene is and I can input whatever information I want into the Scene Name?

Basically you pair the shades using the powerview app. Then you create discrete scenes such as: Master Blackout Open, Master Blackout Close, All Master Closed, All Master Open.

then you add the Powerview Hub module, and input it's ip address ( set it fixed of course )

Then you add the Scene Modules, as many as you want.
input the EXACT name of the scene, and jam all the outputs to the input of the hub module.

Pretty easy, the problem is that powerview SUCKS big time. the range is awful, so unreliable.

Thanks, I understood all that

This is what I was wondering.  I will have to obtain the scene names from the shade installer.

All shades are hardwired so shouldn't be an issue.  We went in to wire all windows as there wasn't a confirmation as to who was supplying installing the shades.  I was hoping we got the shade portion of the job so we could install Crestron shades and life would be easy, but not the case.

I believe the size limitation in the Crestron Horizontal sheers is what cost us.  HD will go up to 12'W x 11'H with the Silhouette shades (Crestron only does 8'W x 8'H) so we would have needed 2-3 shades to fit what HD can do with 1.
