It all starts with your interior layout

The main features of our smart window coverings, besides the smart attributes, are of course that they allow you to control incoming light and cool your rooms. This is ideal when the sun is shining, but roller blinds and Venetian blinds can come in handy all year round too. All you have to do is think carefully about where to hang them.

The easiest option is to simply buy Motionblinds for all the windows in your home. But that could be quite a lot, of course, and some of them may not even be absolutely necessary. That’s why you should be guided by the interior design and layout. Smart window coverings are a good solution where a lot of sun shines through your windows. So think about how the sun moves in relation to your home and where you like to sit, so that you can focus on these places.

Handy: you can install Motionblinds on any window

No matter what type or size of window you have, our smart window coverings can be easily installed anywhere. Motionblinds come in many different sizes, so you can always find a custom electric window covering to suit your situation.

Of course, the ideal installation sometimes requires a little extra thought. For instance, you can choose to install the roller blind above the window or on the top part of the window frame. This flexibility is one of the great advantages of the system, as it allows you to use it on any window.

Step-by-step installation guide for smart blinds

You’ll be happy to hear that Motionblinds are not complicated to install. For instance, there are no power cables to be connected. The built-in battery is charged using a USB connector. Our easy-to-read guide will show you exactly how to install the window coverings. Simply follow the steps below:

• Activate the motor by setting the switch to 1
• Install the window covering using the fixing screws in accordance with the directions given in the manual
• Put everything together so that it works correctly
• Pair the automatic roller blinds to the corresponding remote control
• Check that the blind is rotating in the right direction
• Set the top and bottom positions
• If you like, set your favorite position to be used as the default position

The roller blinds have countless operation options. For instance, you can also install a wand for pull operation. This allows you to operate the window covering manually, if you prefer.

Of course, Motionblinds are perfect for integrating into your smart home system. For many people, this is the best form of integration as it allows you to control many different things in your home from a central system. This might include your lighting and your thermostat, for instance, and now you can add your roller blinds too. We have an app for controlling the window covering, but you can also use voice commands.
