Frequently Asked Questions

Motorised blinds offer significant benefits that many homeowners find well worth the investment:

• Convenience: Control blinds from anywhere in the room, or remotely when away from home
• Safety: Eliminates dangling cords, making them safer for children and pets
• Energy Savings: Program blinds to close during peak sun hours, reducing cooling costs
• Protection: Automatically close blinds to protect furniture and flooring from UV damage
• Accessibility: Ideal for elderly or mobility-impaired users, or for hard-to-reach windows
• Property Value: Smart home features are increasingly desirable to buyers

While the upfront cost is higher than manual options, many customers find the convenience, safety, and energy savings make motorised blinds a worthwhile investment.

Absolutely! Our motorised blinds integrate seamlessly with popular smart home platforms:

• Amazon Alexa: Voice control - "Alexa, close the living room blinds"
• Google Assistant: Voice commands and Google Home integration
• Apple HomeKit: Siri voice control and Apple Home app management
• Samsung SmartThings: Centralised control of all smart home devices
• IFTTT: Create custom automations (e.g., close blinds when leaving home)

We also offer our own dedicated app for complete control, scheduling, and grouping of multiple blinds throughout your home.

It depends on the power source:

• Battery-Powered: Continue working normally during power outages
• Hardwired (mains power): Will not operate during power outages unless you have a backup power system
• Solar-Powered: May continue operating if batteries are charged

For customers concerned about power outages, we recommend battery-powered options, which typically last 1-2 years between charges. Even with hardwired systems, blinds can usually be operated manually if needed.
