The basics

How a motorised blind actually works

There is no box on the wall and no visible machinery. The motor lives inside the blind itself.

The motor sits inside the tube

A slim tubular motor slides inside the roller tube of the blind — the same tube the fabric wraps around. From the outside the blind looks identical to a manual one, just without a chain hanging down the side.

It gets power one of three ways

A rechargeable lithium battery inside the motor, a permanent mains connection run by an electrician, or a small solar panel for outdoor and hard-to-reach windows. Which one suits you depends mostly on the window, not the budget.

You tell it where to stop

We set the open and closed limits during installation, so the blind stops in exactly the same place every time. Many motors also hold a third, in-between favourite position — handy for cutting glare without losing the view.

Power

Battery, wired or solar?

This is the first real decision, and it is usually settled by where the window is — not by price.

Most homes choose this

Rechargeable battery

A lithium battery lives inside the motor. Nothing is run through the wall, so there is no electrician and no patching — which is why this is the usual choice for an existing home.

  • Around 12 months of average use between charges
  • Charger plugs straight into the motor head — no cable left dangling
  • Suits blinds up to roughly 3m wide × 3m drop
  • Quiet coreless drive with a soft stop at each end

For new builds & big spans

Hard‑wired to mains

A licensed electrician runs power to the head of the blind. More work up front, but it never needs charging and it drives far heavier blinds and full-wall curtain tracks without strain.

  • Never needs recharging
  • Handles large, heavy and wide blinds comfortably
  • Best planned before plastering in a new build or renovation
  • Alpha mains motors carry a 7‑year replacement warranty

Outdoors & hard to reach

Solar assisted

A small solar panel keeps a battery pack topped up. Designed for outdoor blinds, awnings and windows where getting a ladder out twice a year to charge is not realistic.

  • 4,400mAh panel and battery pack, roughly 8 hours to charge
  • IP55 rated for outdoor exposure
  • Pairs with sun and wind sensors for automatic retraction
  • Ideal for high stairwell and void windows

On battery life: “about 12 months” assumes a blind that goes up and down roughly once a day. A blind you run four times a day will want charging sooner; a guest room blind may go well past a year. Recharging takes a few hours and the motor tells you when it needs doing — you are not left guessing.

Control

How you’ll actually use them

Most homes end up with a mix — a handheld remote in the living room, a wall switch by the door, and the app for everything at once.

Alpha RE101 single channel handheld blind remote

Single‑blind remote

One blind, three buttons: up, stop, down. The simplest thing in the range and the easiest to hand to a guest.

1 channel
Alpha RE102 four channel handheld blind remote with channel selector

Multi‑blind remote

A dial selects which blind you are talking to, or moves the whole group at once. The common choice for a living area with three or four windows.

4 channels
Alpha RE303 multi channel blind remote with LCD screen and magnetic wall cradle

Whole‑home remote

An LCD screen so you can see which room you have selected, with timer versions that run set open and close times without any app at all.

4, 8 or 16 channels
Alpha RE201 wall mounted blind switch

Wall switch

Sits on the wall like a light switch, so there is always one control that cannot be lost down the side of the couch. No wiring needed — it sends a signal.

Wall mounted
Alpha RE203-8C eight channel wall mounted blind control with LCD screen

Multi‑room wall control

One plate by the front door that can run up to eight blinds or groups — the “close everything on the way out” button.

8 channels
Alpha NEO smart home hub for app and voice control of motorised blinds

App & voice hub

A small hub plugs in near your router and puts every blind on your phone. Group them by room, set schedules, and control them from anywhere with internet.

App & voice

With the hub you get: up to 30 rooms with 8 blinds in each, and 25 schedules — for example sheers opening at sunrise and blockouts closing at 11pm on weeknights. It works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Control4 and Savant. The remotes use a rolling security code, so your neighbour’s remote can never move your blinds.

The hardware

The Alpha motor range we fit

We fit Alpha tubular motors — an Australian‑founded brand, and one of the most widely installed motor ranges in the country. Which motor goes in your blind is a question of size and weight, and we spec it for you.

Alpha WSERD30-B rechargeable lithium battery tubular blind motor

WSERD30‑B battery motor

The one that goes into most Sydney homes. Internal lithium battery, coreless drive, soft stop, and a charger that plugs into the motor head itself.

3 year warranty
Motor Typically used for Torque Power
WSERD30‑BIndoor roller and blockout blinds up to about 3m × 3m2 NmRechargeable battery
WSERD50Larger blinds and outdoor screens where charging is awkward15 NmBattery or solar
WSER40QStandard indoor roller blinds on a permanent supply6 NmMains wired
WSER50Heavy indoor blinds, outdoor straight‑drop screens and awnings10–50 NmMains wired
WSER50 ODZip track systems — detects an obstruction and backs off30 NmMains wired
WSER60Extra‑large retractable awnings100 NmMains wired

Torque is simply pulling power — a bigger, heavier blind needs more of it. You do not need to choose: we measure the blind, work out the weight of the fabric and specify the motor that suits it, and that is included in your free measure and quote.

Going further

Blinds that move without being asked

Sun sensors

A sun sensor drops the blind when the afternoon glare hits and lifts it again when it passes — protecting timber floors and furniture from fading while you are at work. Nine light sensitivity settings, so it is tuned to your room, not a factory default.

Wind sensors for outdoor blinds

Outdoor blinds and awnings are vulnerable to wind. A wind sensor retracts them automatically before damage is done, with five wind speed settings. On awnings it is the single best piece of insurance you can fit.

Schedules & away mode

Set blinds to close at dusk and open at sunrise. It makes an empty house look lived in while you are away, and means you are not walking around the house every evening closing blinds by hand.

Common questions

Motorised Blinds — frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before making a decision.

Almost any blind or curtain can be motorised — roller blinds, zebra blinds, Roman blinds, Venetian blinds, panel glides, and curtains. The motor is built into or attached to the headrail or track during installation for a completely hidden, clean result.

Yes — most quality motorised blind systems support integration with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit via a Wi-Fi-enabled motor or hub. This allows voice control, app control, and automation scenes from your existing smart home setup.

Motorised blinds are the safest choice for children's rooms because they eliminate all hanging cords — one of the leading causes of accidental injury for young children. They're strongly recommended for nurseries and children's bedrooms.

Most residential motorised blinds use rechargeable battery motors (easy to retrofit), mains-wired motors (most reliable, requires an electrician), or solar-charged motors (suitable for sun-exposed windows). We'll recommend the right power solution for your specific installation.

In some cases, existing blinds can be retrofitted with a motorised mechanism. The most reliable result, however, comes from specifying motorisation at the time of manufacture. We can assess your existing blinds during a consultation and advise on the best approach.

Scheduled automation lets your blinds respond to your routine without any daily input. Morning schedules gradually let in light to help you wake naturally; evening schedules close blinds as the sun sets to improve privacy and thermal performance overnight — genuinely transforming your home experience.

A rechargeable battery motor runs for around 12 months of average use — that is a blind going up and down roughly once a day — before it needs charging. A blind you operate several times a day will need it sooner, a spare room blind often goes longer. The motor signals when it is low, and charging takes a few hours with a charger that plugs directly into the motor head, so there is no permanent cable on show. Hard-wired motors never need charging at all.

Battery and solar motors are unaffected by a blackout — they carry their own power. Hard-wired motors will not run while the power is out, but nothing is damaged and they work normally as soon as power returns. Your remotes and wall switches keep their settings either way; nothing needs reprogramming.

Sometimes, but it depends on the blind. The motor has to fit inside the existing roller tube, and the tube has to be the right diameter and strong enough for the fabric weight — many older or budget blinds are not. In a lot of cases replacing the blind works out better value than retrofitting one. We will tell you honestly which applies at the free measure.

Quieter than most people expect. The battery motors we fit use a coreless drive with a soft stop, so the blind eases into position rather than stopping with a clunk. You will hear a gentle hum while it moves and nothing at all once it stops — they are quiet enough for a nursery or a bedroom.

Not for battery or solar motors — they are completely self-contained, which is exactly why most existing homes choose them. Hard-wired motors do need a licensed electrician to run power to the head of each blind, which is why they are best planned into a new build or a renovation before the walls are closed up.

Yes. Each blind can be controlled on its own, or grouped so a whole room moves together. A multi-channel remote handles several blinds from the couch, a wall plate by the door can run up to eight groups, and with the hub you can set up to 30 rooms with 8 blinds in each, plus 25 automatic schedules.
