Motorised Blinds Sunshine Coast

Control Options: Remote, App, Voice & Timers

Every motorised blind comes with a way to run it by hand, usually a remote or a wall switch. Multi-channel remotes let you move one blind or a whole group at once, which is handy on a patio with three or four blinds.

Add a hub and you can go further. The Automate Pulse 2 hub connects your blinds to the Pulse 2 app, so you can open and close them from your phone from anywhere, set timers and sunrise/sunset routines, save scenes like "evening" or "storm", and group blinds by room or side of the house. Through the hub you can also use Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa and link into smart-home systems. Somfy offers the same kind of control through its TaHoma app.

Wind & Motion Sensors for Sunshine Coast Weather

Sensors are where motorisation really earns its keep on the coast. A wind or motion sensor watches for movement, and when the wind picks up past a safe level it tells the motor to retract the awning or raise the blind. That matters here, with strong southeasterlies and summer storms that can roll in fast while you're at work or asleep. A folding arm awning left out in a storm can be badly damaged; with a sensor it simply pulls itself in.

Hardwired, Solar or Battery?

Solar and battery motors need no wiring at all. A rechargeable battery runs the motor, and with solar a small panel keeps it topped up. They're ideal for retrofitting motors to existing blinds, for spots without a power point nearby, and for keeping blinds working during a power outage.

Hardwired motors run from 240V mains power. They're a great choice for new builds and renovations, where wiring can be run to each blind before the ceiling goes up, and they never need charging. They do need a licensed electrician to connect them, which is where we come in.
