What are rechargeable roller blind motors?

Rechargeable roller blind motors are battery-powered motors that can be charged via wall plug or solar panel. They’re ideal for DIY installation and don’t require hardwiring or an electrician.

Do rechargeable motors work with Google Home or Alexa?

Yes. Automate and Somfy rechargeable motors work with Google Home or Alexa when paired with a compatible hub like the Pulse 2, Push PRO, or Somfy TaHoma. ShawSmart motors use Zigbee and connect through Smart Life or Tuya.

Which brand of rechargeable motor should I choose?

Choose Automate for quiet, premium motors that integrate with a full ecosystem. Pick Somfy if you already use RTS remotes or TaHoma. Go with ShawSmart for budget-friendly Zigbee motors controlled via the Smart Life app.

Are these motors compliant in Australia?

Yes, all motors we sell are RCM and ACMA certified, making them legally compliant and safe to use in Australian homes.
