Frequently Asked Questions – Roller Blind Motors
Here are answers to the most common questions our customers ask about choosing and installing motorised roller blind motors.
What type of roller blind motor is best for home use?
Rechargeable motors are the most popular for residential use. They’re easy to install, don’t require hardwiring, and can be controlled via remote or smart app.
Do I need an electrician to install a motorised blind?
Not always. If you're using a rechargeable motor, installation is DIY friendly. Only 240V hardwired motors require a licensed electrician.
Are your motors compatible with Google Home or Alexa?
Compatible Automate motors can connect through Pulse Pro, while compatible Somfy motors use TaHoma. Compatibility depends on the motor’s radio protocol, so check before ordering.
What’s the difference between battery and 240V motors?
The main difference is the power source and installation. Rechargeable motors avoid hardwiring; 240V motors provide continuous power and require a licensed electrician. Torque depends on the specific motor, not simply whether it is battery or 240V.
Can I mix different motor types in one room?
You can mix motor sizes within a compatible control ecosystem, but Automate and Somfy do not share controls. Automate ARC motors require compatible ARC controls, while Somfy motors require the matching Somfy protocol.
Do I need a hub to use these motors?
No. Compatible remotes and wall switches work without a hub. For app or voice control, use Pulse Pro with compatible Automate motors or TaHoma with compatible Somfy motors.
Can these be automated with timers?
Yes. Compatible Automate motors can use Pulse Pro or the Push Pro Remote; compatible Somfy motors can use TaHoma. Check the motor protocol before choosing the controller.
