What types of blinds can be motorized?

Nearly all popular window covering styles can be motorized, including Roller Shades, Zebra Blinds, Cellular Shades (Honeycomb), Roman Shades, and even certain types of Vertical Blinds and Sheers. Our consultation service will determine the best motor for your chosen style.

Are motorized blinds difficult to install or power?

Not at all. We offer professional installation. For power, the most common option is discreet, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which eliminate the need for hardwiring and professional electrical work. Hardwired options are available for new constructions.

Can motorized shades integrate with my smart home system?

Yes, our motorization systems are compatible with major smart home platforms, including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. This allows for voice control, scheduling, and scene setting (e.g., 'Movie Night' closes all blackout shades).

FAQs About Motorized Blinds & Smart Control

What is the expected battery life on a motorized blind?

The battery life is dependent on the size of the shade and frequency of use, but generally ranges from 6 to 12 months with average daily use. Our systems feature easy plug-in recharge and smart low-battery indicators.

Are motorized blinds noisy?

Our motors are designed for quiet operation. While you will hear a soft, low hum, they are considered whisper-quiet and will not disrupt conversation or sleep.

How does setting a schedule (automation) work?

Through our dedicated app and hub, you can set 'scenes' or 'timers'. For example, you can program the shades in the living room to close automatically at 7 PM and open at 7 AM, adjusting based on the time of year for optimal light and privacy.
