Separate your power and signals
Your motor needs a power source, while an app or remote manages the signal. We help you choose a reliable combination, ensuring your system runs smoothly whether you use wired motors or rechargeable batteries.
Custom window coverings
Smart-home integration starts with the motor
We make smart-home motorized shades feel simple and reliable. We clarify which hub and motor work together, helping you match your daily routines to the right technology without the confusion of complex technical setups.
Local control versus remote access
Phone-based control works within your home, while remote access usually requires a connected hub. We find the right package to meet your goals, whether you need simple local adjustment or full away-from-home automation.
Unified control for mixed rooms
You can link multiple brands to one voice assistant to simplify your life. We map out the path for each shade, ensuring your routine flows naturally across every window in your home.

Start with your home routine
Tell us how you use the room, from morning light to evening privacy. By defining your goal first, we recommend the hub and motor that fit your lifestyle, ensuring your technology supports your daily comfort.

Frequently asked
Do motorized shades connect directly to Wi-Fi?
Most systems use a bridge to ensure reliability. We confirm the motor and accessories for your chosen shade, ensuring your connection is stable and fits your specific home routine without unnecessary extra hardware.
Is Bluetooth the same as smart-home integration?
No, Bluetooth is often limited to local phone control. We identify the package you need for voice or away-from-home access, ensuring your hardware truly supports the control you want for your daily life.
Can I use one remote for different brands?
Remotes pair with specific protocols, so one does not automatically work for all. We help you group these technologies through a central platform, so your window routines work together perfectly from a single command.
Does Somfy guarantee hub compatibility?
No, Somfy has many protocol generations. We match your motor to the correct bridge and platform, ensuring everything communicates correctly so you enjoy comfort and convenience without worrying about hidden compatibility mismatches.
Will my shades close if the internet fails?
Local operation usually works if your system has power and local controls. We ensure your installation includes fallback options, keeping you in command of your privacy and light even when your internet is offline.
Should I reset shades that stop responding?
Check your power and local controls first. Resetting can often cause more issues, so reach out to us for a quick assessment. We help you resolve network or power concerns without losing your configuration.
