So what comes first, Automation or product type, when deciding what window covering you would like and whether to have them Automated? If you know you definitely want the flexibility and convenience of your window coverings being Automated then it’s really wise to start with the window covering as not all are suited to being Automated. Let’s look at your choices.

Automated Roller Blinds and Double Roller Blinds will help to provide a more comfortable interior and ultimately improve the energy efficiency of your home by minimising or maximising the amount of natural light filtered into your home.
Our Roller Blind battery operated 1.1 and 2.0 motors utilise new lithium-ion battery technology that boasts a patented wire-free design with the antenna cable concealed within the motor head and a micro-USB port for charging. These motors are the quietest available. The ‘soft stop’ function slows the motor (and subsequently the Blind) down rather than coming to a sudden stop while the speed adjustment options allow the Blind to operate smoothly and quietly.
In addition, the motors feature ‘battery check’ technology. With the press of a button the motor moves the Blind down to a position that signifies the battery percentage level. Our Automate® Wire-Free Li-ion Zero motors allow for proficient installation within residential homes and small commercial projects with no electrical wiring required and the ability to be retrofit into existing systems*.
Discover the ease and simplicity of our Roller Blind Magnetic Wand Control, featuring a battery operated motor and removable wand that conveniently doubles as a charging point via a USB-C port. The magnetic wand motor is not compatible with the Pulse Hub or Automate controls.
*Retrofit capability only possible with RB08 and RB09 systems. Features listed above do not apply to battery operated 3.0 motor.
We offer flexible motorised solutions for our Roman Blind range, with the choice of battery operated or hardwired connection. Our Roman Blind Automate® CL 0.8 motors and suite of controllers can be completely integrated to achieve the perfect Automated experience.
We recommend the installation of motorised Roman Blinds above the window architrave so that the motorised componentry is concealed from view when looking into the window from outside.
Our Cellular Blind Automate® CL 0.8 motor utilises a battery operated system whereby a wall charger can be connected to the battery pack and powerpoint for continuous power, or is used to charge the battery pack. Our Cellular Blind motorisation is operated with our Automate® suite of controllers to achieve the perfect automated experience.
If you’re looking for style, convenience and energy saving in one, our automated Cellular Blinds are the answer.
Curtains are just perfect for Automation and offer an elegant aesthetic for your interior. As a feature in open plan living areas they not only look great but work well with our Automate® motors. Our state of the art technology allows motorised Curtains to wrap around corners and slow down upon closure.
If the remote or your smart phone is not nearby, our Curtain motor offers the added benefit of manual activation with stand-out “soft touch” technology. A gentle pull on the fabric will initiate movement and the motor will complete the action – automatically opening or closing the Curtains. Motors that have been wired in for Curtains offer a manual override feature which can be used if your main power fails.
The motors have been designed to be quiet for acoustic comfort with soft start and stop functionality and also offer the luxury of a suite of Automate® controls. Motors are placed behind the Curtain, mounted vertically facing downwards but can also be mounted facing upwards into a bulkhead.
Our Automate® external motor is tailor made for our Window Awning Fixed Guide and Straight Drop styles, Zipscreen and Alfresco Awning ranges. Automation reduces the time and effort normally required to operate outdoor window coverings, giving you flexibility and convenience outdoors. Not to mention, it allows you to open or close your Awnings from inside your home, without the need to go outside.
Experience sophisticated window covering control with our battery operated or hardwired motors. For battery operated motors, a black battery pack is used as the power source for the Awning and can be installed under the headbox, covered face of the side channel or above the headbox, for easy access when charging. The battery pack can be recharged via a powerpoint or it can be swapped over with an additional battery pack for continuous power. Our hardwired motors connect to power, so with a permanent power supply there is no need to recharge.
Our motors can be conveniently controlled using our Automate® controllers, such as remote control or right from your smart phone via our Pulse Hub. Control all of your indoor and outdoor window coverings via the one control. Too easy!
Flexibility is key, so our motors are developed with several settings which can be engaged or turned off at any time. They include a tension setting so the Awning is installed nice and taut, and a favourites setting so with a touch of the button all Awnings can be raised or lowered to the exact same position.
Best of all, our external motors feature innovative impact detection technology, where the motor senses an obstacle in the Awnings path and redirects the awning. This prevents objects from damaging the Awning or motor whilst in motion.
Our Solar Powered Wind and Sun Sensor measures wind and light intensity to automatically open your Awning once sunlight is detected to provide convenient shading and close in windy conditions to protect and preserve your Awning.
Imagine entertaining outdoors on a bright sunny day, the sun intensity and need for shade increasing. You can be rest assured knowing that your motorised Awning, connected to our sensor, will activate the Awning to close achieving the optimal level of shade. This occurs when a pre-set lux level is reached, signalling to the Awning that it needs to open and provide shade.
Never worry about the battery depleting with a built-in solar panel that keeps the battery charged for optimum functionality. The sensor can be mounted to the roof, wall, eave or fascia, to suit your requirements.
