How to Motorise Your Existing Blinds in 3 Easy Steps
You can retrofit a Somfy motor to your roller blinds at home by following these simple steps:
- Remove the chain drive
Unclip the roller blind from its brackets and gently pull out the chain mechanism. - Insert the motor
Slide the Somfy motor into the chain drive end of the roller tube, aligning the adapter properly. - Reinstall and set up
Reattach the blind to the brackets and follow our step-by-step guide to connect your Somfy remote.
With a motor in place, you can raise or lower your blinds at the push of a button. This not only offers convenience but also removes hanging chains, making it safer for children and pets.
Want Smart Control with Voice or Phone?
To operate your blinds using a smartphone or smart assistant, you’ll need a Wi-Fi hub. DIY Custom Blinds offers two smart options:
Bond Bridge
Compatible with Alexa and Google Home, Bond Bridge can control motorised blinds, curtains, ceiling fans, and more from one app.
Somfy Connexoon
