Frequently asked questions about Motion Blinds
What is the difference between Somfy and MotionBlinds?
Somfy is a wired or battery-powered motor system with its own app, remote controls, and sensor range. MotionBlinds uses Coulisse Eve technology with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, integrating with Apple HomeKit and other smart home platforms. Both are reliable — the best choice depends on your home setup and integration preferences.
Do motorised blinds work during loadshedding?
Battery-powered motors like MotionBlinds continue working during power outages. Wired Somfy motors require mains power, though battery backup options are available. We recommend battery-powered systems for South African homes where loadshedding is a consideration.
Can I automate existing blinds?
In most cases, motorisation requires replacing the blind tube and headrail mechanism. It is generally more cost-effective and reliable to install a new motorised blind rather than retrofitting an existing manual blind.
How long do motorised blind batteries last?
Battery-powered motors typically last 6 to 12 months on a single charge with normal daily use. Recharging takes a few hours via USB-C. Solar panel charging options are available for hard-to-reach installations.
