Hunter Douglas PowerView Duolite / top-down shades	Partly works	Partly in Home Middle rail not exposed as secondary shade	Middle/top rail ignored by integration Saved copy The problem Hunter Douglas has top-down/bottom-up shades in which they have both a bottom rail and a top rail and both can be moved. They also have a type of shade called Duolite which is similar except it has a movable middle rail instead (and a second fabric above that). They both control the same way in the PowerView iOS app. And Hunter Douglas's official HomeKit support exposes these as a device with a primary shades service (for the bottom rail) and a secondary shades service (for the middle rail). The Home Accessory Hunter Douglas integration almost completely ignores the middle rail. … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.	Issue #71891 · 2022-05
