How to Activate Discreet Mode

How to Activate Discreet Mode

January 18, 2024

While Scenes in the PowerView® App are set by default to move shades at a normal speed, you also have the option of customizing that speed, with Discreet Mode. The Discreet Mode feature in the app moves your already quiet PowerView Shades more slowly than the normal speed, and even more quietly.

Discreet Mode is a great option for nurseries, bedrooms, home offices—or any Scene where you’d like your shades to move more subtly than normal.

PLEASE NOTE: Discreet Mode is only available on PowerView Gen 3.

Activating Discreet Mode Is Easy

To activate Discreet Mode, go to the Scene Settings page in the app and select “Discreet” for the Scene speed.

That’s it!

You can update the speed for existing Scenes or select this option when you create new Scenes.

Please note that activating Discreet Mode may drain your batteries faster than in Normal Mode.
