Blinds Control as Easy as a Light Switch
Hunter Douglas PowerView Tap makes opening and closing your blinds simple and seamless.
PowerView Tap is a small battery-operated control with three buttons: Up, Stop and Down.
Press a button to open or close your motorized blind, just like a light switch.
Think of it as a quick way to control window coverings in one room, not a whole-home system.
It’s perfect for guest rooms, Airbnbs, bathrooms, sliding glass doors, and anywhere you want simple control.

Friendly & Knowledgeable
An overall great experience with Fresh Design Blinds. My designer, Emily, was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.
They acted quickly and efficiently to accommodate my schedule. I got blackout blinds. The lead time was only 4 weeks, and I am very happy with how they turned out.
I would definitely recommend this company for any blind needs.

Focused on Providing Excellent Service
Recently purchased motorized shades and custom drapery from Fresh Design Blinds and am very happy with the experience.
​
The in-home consultation with Kristy was helpful and informative. Kristy listened to what I was looking for, offered practical suggestions, and made the selection process easy. ​Everything was installed with care and looks great. ​ Throughout the project, the team was friendly, responsive, and focused on providing excellent service.
​
The quality of the products and workmanship met my expectations, and I would gladly recommend Fresh Design Blinds to others considering new window coverings.

Smooth & Professional
I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Fresh Design Blinds. Jayden was friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough when she came to take the initial measurements, and Moe did a fantastic job with the installation.
He was tidy, clean, efficient, and completed everything remarkably quickly with minimal disruption to my day. The blinds look wonderful, and the entire process was smooth and professional from start to finish.
I wholeheartedly recommend Fresh Design Blinds—truly excellent service!

Create a Simple-to-Operate Command Center
PowerView Tap isn't hardwired, so you can mount it on the wall, or put its stand on a counter or nightstand. Our favourite spot to mount the Tap is beside the light switches, giving you a control centre for your lights and blinds in each room.
Tap runs on batteries, much like a typical remote, which typically last about a year.
Who Is Hunter Douglas Tap For?
Tap is for homeowners with rooms where simplified control makes life easier.
​
The simplicity of PowerView Tap makes it a great fit for Airbnb hosts and guest suites. Your guests can open and close the blinds on night one, no instructions needed. It’s also perfect for blinds in high-traffic zones like sliding glass doors.
​
PowerView Tap is also handy for anyone in your family who finds a remote fussy.
However, it’s only suited for single room operation and is not a whole-house solution.

Benefits of Hunter Douglas Tap
Tap gives you a quick, simple way to control a motorized blind.
​
-
Simple Control: Up, stop and down. That's it. No remote to light up and no channels to figure out.
​
-
Works Like a Light Switch: Press a button, and the blind opens or closes, just like turning on the lights in any room.
​
-
Easy for Guests: Airbnb and guest suite visitors can use it right away. There's nothing to learn.
​
-
No Hardwiring: Tap is battery-operated and surface-mounted, so nothing gets wired into the wall. (Plus, you typically only have to change out the battery once per year.)
​
-
Put It Anywhere: Mount it beside the light switch, or set it on its stand by the bed or tub.
​
-
Affordable: For one room, Tap can be a more affordable way to add motorized control to your window coverings.
​
-
Room Darkening with One Tap: Pair Tap with a blackout blind, and you can darken a guest bedroom or media room in seconds.
Where Can You Use Hunter Douglas PowerView Tap?
Guest Rooms & Airbnbs
Guest rooms and Airbnb bedrooms are almost always fitted with room darkening blinds, so guests can close them and sleep. For easy operation and the darkest room, our top pick is Duette honeycomb shades with LightLock, with a Tap right by the door.
Bathrooms
Got one window above the tub? Put a Tap close to the tub so you can open or close the blind within reach. Tap also has a double-click feature for Top-Down Bottom-Up shades and the Duolite system, making it an excellent choice for bathroom privacy.

Media Rooms
Media rooms already have plenty of remotes, so do you really want another? If yours has one window (or a group of windows) to cover, a Tap on the wall with a room-darkening blind keeps movie night simple.
Hotel Rooms
Hotel guests want controls they understand right away. A PowerView Tap beside the light switch gives them one simple button for the blind, with no need to hunt for the remote.
Sliding Glass Doors
For high traffic zones like sliding glass doors where you want to easily open and close your blinds without any fuss, the PowerView Tap is perfect. You can mount the device right next to the door for easy access.

Common Questions about Hunter Douglas PowerView Tap
What is Hunter Douglas Tap?
Hunter Douglas Tap is a simple control for Hunter Douglas motorized blinds. Its full name is PowerView Tap. It has three buttons: Up, Stop and Down. You can open or close a blind or group of blinds with one press. It's battery-operated and sits on a stand or mounts to the wall.
Which type of windows are best suited for Hunter Douglas Tap?
Single windows in rooms where you want simple control or a group of windows where you want the blinds controlled as one unit. Think of a guest room, a bathroom window above the tub or a media room. It's made for small jobs, not for controlling the whole house.
What are the main downsides or pitfalls of Hunter Douglas Tap?
It's only for small jobs. Tap is great for one room, but you can't use it to control the whole house. For that, you'd want the PowerView app or a full Hunter Douglas remote.
How long do the batteries last?
About a year. PowerView Tap uses the same kind of AA batteries as a typical remote, so expect similar battery life.
Can Hunter Douglas Tap stop the blind partway?
Yes. Tap has a Stop button, so you can stop the blind partway up or down. For a full open or close, just press Up or Down.
Can you use Tap with Duolite or top-down/bottom-up blinds?
Yes. Tap has a double tap option that works with the Duolite system as well as top-down/bottom-up blinds.
