motorisation
The days of expensive electrical products are over.
In these modern times you can enjoy a remote control for your TV, DVD, Stereo and much more, all at inexpensive prices.
Now you can enjoy Powered Curtain Tracks and blinds without breaking the bank.
Motorisation means you don't even have to get up from your chair to open or close your curtains or blinds and you don't have to handle your curtains / blinds which remain clean and fresh for longer.
Manual operation is still possible, for example during power cuts or if you misplace the handset (with certain models).
A Timer unit can be programmed to automatically open and close your curtains / blinds at your preset times or maybe a light sensor is just what you need. A light sensor detects the light outside so when the sun starts to shine in the morning, your curtains / blinds will open and when the sun sets in the evening, the sensor reacts and Close's your curtains / blinds automatically. This is a great security device, as the sun does not run on a precise clock, so when you are away your curtains / blinds will move at different times of the day, given the sense that someone is at home.
With the introduction of PowerView, a revolutionary new system allows you to control your blinds from anywhere in the world.
A revolutionary new system that automatically moves your blinds throughout the day!

Somfy
The Somfy brand offers a virtually limitless number of solutions. Somfy motors and automatic control units can be adapted to fit almost any type of blind, curtain, awning, garage door or gate, regardless of the environment, the climate, the installation conditions or the number of safety devices required.
If fact if you already have an electric awning or blind, then the controls and motors are probably already from somfy and you have been using them for some time.
Somfy can provide you with a control system to suit your lifestyle requirements.
Whether you want to control your curtains yourself or leave the automatic sensor to do the work for you, somfy has the solution.
Somfy Home Motion:
Powering and moving the openings in the house by means of Somfy motors, controls and automatic devices to make life easier, safer, more comfortable... and to save energy.
What are the benefits for me?
With Home Motion by Somfy, your home becomes both safer and more private. You have more living space and it enables you to lower energy consumption.
For example?
You can lower your conservatory blinds with one click. Close your garage door from your car, tilt your Venetian blinds from your armchair, and take advantage of the sun out on your patio without moving from your lounge chair.
The conclusion?
Home Motion by Somfy really makes your life easy!
First,
the motors ...
There is a wide range of Somfy motors, for new buildings or renovation projects.
Each is specially designed for the equipment it operates.
For example:
- An awning motor runs smoothly so as not to damage the fabric.
- a roller shutter motor stops automatically if it encounters an obstacle or if it is frozen.
- a garage door motor fitted with a battery back-up pack will operate even in a power cut.
- a gate motor can keep the gate closed.
- motors for interior shades are particularly quiet.
- a curtain motor can also be operated by hand so that it doesn't get damaged when you pull on the curtain ...
Next,
the controls and automatic devices
Controls -
these are used to control the motors that raise, lower, open, close or direct the equipment.
- Wall mounted control unit, usually on the wall, close to the application, controlled either by radio or electrically via wires.
- Remote control unit, this means you are free to control equipment from a distance with a portable handset, wherever you are in the house.
Automatic devices, you can plan or delegate opening and closing functions in your home.
Plan using the programming function, this provides an automatic function: there's no need for you to do anything.
For example - open and close your blinds at predetermined times, automatically close your roller shutter at nightfall with the "twighlight function".
Delegate with sensors
- a wind sensor triggers your awning so that it reacts to prevent the fabric from getting ripped.
- a sun sensor lowers your interior shades or tilts the slats of your venetian blinds to keep your house cool in summer, etc...
