These blinds can be scheduled for weekday opening and I have a different time for those lazy weekends lay-ins. Controlled by voice if you wish too. The only criticisms are the speed of the open/closing is slow. Easy to set up. Blind Size: Battery blind powered motors only have the torque to automate blinds at the small/medium end of the spectrum. On larger blinds above 4-5sqm, we recommend using 240v AC motors. See further info below on size restrictions. Very easy to install, setup on vertical blinds where you can’t reach the cord, now the blinds open automatically when the sun rises. Battery Costs: The other benefit of 240v mains powered electric blinds is that you don't have to keep changing the batteries! It's worth weighing up, how often you are going to use your blinds. On a single up and single down cycle per day, batteries will last approximately 1 year on average. But consider that the larger the blind, the more energy will be used and the shorter the battery life. Also consider that solar powered rechargeable batteries are available - please call and ask about these.

WireFree Motors For Blinds And Curtains | Powered by Somfy

Supports key smart home protocols such as Google and Alexa & many more smart home devices. Native integration of io-homecontrol, RTS and Zigbee 3.0 protocols along with cloud compatibilities. Note that the motors can be permanently programmed (with the remote) to operate normally in either direction, so you can choose whichever end you prefer (see blind and shade motor programming instructions). Fantastic item means we can now open the blinds anytime as there is furniture in front f both windows. Easy to fit, and simple to use. But there are 2 problems I have. First, when the blind is closed, there is not auto-stop, and so the blind keeps moving. Second, some of the buttons are misplaced on the remote. For example, up actually goes down and down goes up. I think maybe there was an error is the product’s manufacture. But overall, I am pleased. Just a nice comparison: when you buy a car, for example, you mainly look at the offering as a whole. The comfort, brand, application, price and perhaps design are important conditions. Some choose the top model, others the basic version.In addition, we also supply our wired motor types (WT), often applied when a consumer prefers full wiring with a fixed switch to the application. Again, the proven reliability applies, but at the same time it has its limitations when it comes to optional extensions. Brought six of these to link with my Alexa. I managed to set up new routines with meaningful voice commands like close and open rather than power on and power off. All set up (through Alexa) which is fantastic for me. The noise of the motors is not all intrusive. Fits perfectly. The device itself uses Bluetooth for control, and this can connect to their smart phone app directly with no other hardware, but for integration you’ll need their Soma Connect bridge. This small USB powered device provides a bridge between the device’s Bluetooth and your Wifi network to allow other platforms to communicate with it. Used 2 of these to operate some curtains that are awkward to reach. Work well for this task. Curtains already corded with tensioners so very straight forward to replace them with the motor as a ‘cord’ pulley included in the kit.

I think the blind is the most difficult part of assembling the kit, but once it works, everything goes well. I had a few questions, and supplier helped. I have recommended them to many of my friends. Good product. Multi channel remote control handset in white with grey trim. Ideal for controlling multiple powered blinds individually and as a group. Very helpful instructions, great template to make things easier, works well with Alexa and also the Smart Life AppThe limited smart home integration is my biggest issue here, as well as not supporting all cord types. While most blinds will use a beaded chain, things like tilt blinds are probably off the table for most people. My Recommendations The Curtain bot uses Bluetooth for communication to keep battery life up, and you can control it directly from your smartphone using the SwitchBot app with no other hardware, but you’ll need the SwitchBot Hub Mini if you want to integrate with other smart platforms.

Brilliant, easy-to-follow instructions works great with Alexa, a bit bulky but it’s small downside for a well-engineered product

Select the motor position

Installed this to open and close my vertical blind automatically. Firstly, there are some very nice touches. For instance the left or right mounting template makes it fit easily. Nice piece of kit. Great innovation. Only the noisy motor stopped me from giving 5 stars Very happy with this little gadget, really simple to install, do all that and it all works like a charm… and it does feel like magic to make your blinds open just by telling them to!
