On my last training session for the certified Hunter Douglas Installer Program, we were introduced to the new Platinum Technology Wireless Wall Switch by Hunter Douglas Platinum.
I find it is a great add on to use with the wireless Platinum Technology Product Line.
It works with all PowerRise® and PowerTilt™ systems and also the new PowerGlide™ 2.0 system for both Luminette Privacy Sheers as well as the Skyline Gliding Window Panels.
The wireless wall switch is powered by 2 AAA batteries at the back of the switch, the device sends radio frequency signals (RF) to any Hunter Douglas Platinum-powered system to make the window treatment raise, lower, tilt, or traverse.
The wall switch has an UP/DOWN directional button, four Radio Frequency (RF) Group Buttons (1, 2, 3, 4) and an “ALL” button that are used for RF operation. The RF Group numbers and the ALL button will light up, green of course, when a button is pressed.
The wireless wall switch has other additional features, too. With the wireless wall switch, multiple RF (shades) groups can be selected and operated at the same time. So if you select RF Group 1 and RF Group 3, the 1 and 3 buttons will light up. Then press the up or down button and both groups will operate at the same time. The Platinum Wireless Wall switch also has a built-in memory, so it will remember the last group or groups that were selected. So, if your last operation was to raise groups 1 and 3, you won’t have to push the group buttons to lower them. Just push the down button and all the shades or blinds programmed for these groups will lower. The switch will remember always the last group selection.
Using A Switch And A Remote Together
The wireless wall switch can be cloned with a Platinum remote so that your customers can have the option of controlling their blinds or shades with either the switch or the remote. I find the wireless switch is a great add-on for every PowerRise/PowerTilt or PowerGlide Product from Hunter Douglas and provides an easy way to operate shades and blinds. So even if you misplace your remote control you can use the wireless switch.
Surface or Flush Mount
The Platinum Wireless wall switch was designed with a slim profile for surface mounting directly to a wall. Using the mounting screws provided, the wireless wall switch can be secured to any wall in a room. At less than ¾-inch deep, the switch is unobtrusive.
For a more flush mount, the switch may also be installed in a standard electrical gang box. (Check your local electrical codes before installing the Platinum Wireless Wall Switch into any recessed electrical box.)

It?s a chair that brings ?creature comforts? back home. Dubbed the ?Origine Du Monde, Maybe!? chair, this unusual, ultra-modern chair was design by Italo Rota for Italian furniture house Meritalia. The soft hues complement the plush cushions perfectly, forming what the designed has described as ?uterine sensuality.? The cushions are made of memory foam which, in keeping with the obviously maternal theme of the design, reminds us of protection, rest and the future. The base is made from polished aluminum, irregular in shape, just like the chair concept as a whole, If you like unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, this is a must-see! Check it out at Meritalia.
Is it a radiator, or is it artwork? These cool modern radiators by Caleido are both! The Therme home radiator is an masterful swirl of brilliant hues reminiscent of watercolor. For more-modern tastes, the Geiger radiator features a computer-generated design set on a sleek, black background. The elongated rectangular shape is easy to incorporate among your existing artwork, or let it steal the spotlight and feature it as an art piece all on its own. These cool radiators are by Karim Rashid, who stayed true to his signature funky style. These new radiators made their debut at Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2010. Fore more info visit Caleido.
This new funky furniture by German company Bruehl is inspired by natural forms with an ultra-modern edge. Featuring the ups and downs of mountaintops with an abstract twist, the Coupole sofa and armchair (pictured above) by designer Kati Meyer-Bruhl feature a curved back and armrests and a delicate body clad in fabric that?s heaven to the touch, available in white and sky blue. The Morning Dew chairs (pictured below), also by designer Kati Meyer-Bruhl, are inspired by tulips, with their graceful petals forming the back and arm rests. A soft seat in an irregular shape beckons. This modern flower-inspired chair is featured in vibrant rose and white upholstery, as well as red-and-white plaid.

The grand finale to the epic Moroso M?Afrique collection sends it out with a bang! As the final pieces of the outdoor furniture line, the Ibiscus armchair and the Meridienne sofa by designer Dominique Petot make a style statement that screams: Big! Bold! Beautiful! The design consists of wild shapes and even wilder woven patterns if you can imagine that. These vibrant red, brown and white patio pieces echo the shape of a traditional British armchair and lounger, with armrests and a high back to recline into. Frames come in the choice of natural or lacquered steel. Check out this cool outdoor furniture line at Moroso.
