5 Benefits to Motorising Internal Window Coverings
Convenience
With the simple touch of a button you can move your blind or curtain to whatever position you like. You can also add sensors and timers, so your products work for you even when you’re not at home.
The home automation solution, Connexoon Window RTS, allows you to control your window coverings from your mobile device, no matter where you are in the world. Connexoon Window RTS also allows for voice control via third-party devices including Google Nest (direct connection) and Amazon Echo (using IFTTT).
Energy-Efficient Blinds
Reduce your energy usage by controlling the amount of heat and light entering your home. Keep your home cool in summer by reflecting the harsh heat of the sun but allow sun in during winter to enjoy natural warmth and light while relieving pressure on your heating and cooling systems.
Longer Lifespan
Manual operation can damage blinds and curtains through excessive force or improper use. Somfy’s smooth and controlled operation of blinds and curtains ensures both maximum functionality and a longer lifespan of the product.
Safety
Loose cords and chains are a danger to young children. With Somfy automated blinds and curtains, the cords and chains are completely removed, providing peace of mind for you and a safer environment for your children.
Protecting your home while you’re away is even easier with Somfy automation, allowing you to control your window coverings wherever you are in the world, or pre-program scenarios to simulate presence in your home and deter intruders.
Quiet and Discreet
Somfy’s world leading motors are fully concealed inside the tube of the blind. With the simple press of
the remote control or Connexoon Window RTS app, you will enjoy the ambience and impress your guests with a quiet and sophisticated automated system. In particular, Somfy’s Sonesse range of motors is especially designed for silence.
Somfy enhances your home comfort with Zigbee
For our Smart Shading offer for interior blinds and curtains, Parker's chooses Zigbee by Somfy.
Somfy has integrated Zigbee 3.0 technology into its Smart Shading solutions for interior blinds and curtains, enhancing home automation by providing a unified and secure communication protocol for smart devices. This integration allows for seamless interoperability among various smart home products, enabling homeowners to create a cohesive ecosystem where devices work together effortlessly.
The TaHoma switch, Somfy’s centralised smart control system, supports Zigbee 3.0, facilitating smoother automation of window furnishings. This compatibility ensures that blinds and curtains can be easily integrated into existing smart home setups, offering users the convenience of controlling their window coverings through a single platform.
Somfy’s adoption of Zigbee technology expands the range of compatible products, allowing for integration with up to 300 different types of devices, including those from major brands like Philips Hue, Sonos, Velux, Legrand, Schneider, and more. This extensive compatibility provides homeowners with the flexibility to customise their smart home environments to suit their preferences and needs.
For residents in Sydney, New South Wales, Parker Blinds & Curtains offers a range of Somfy’s Zigbee-enabled motorisation solutions.

5 Benefits to Motorising External Window Coverings
Convenience
With the simple touch of a button you can move your awning, roller shutter or external blind to whatever position you like. You can also add sensors and timers, so your products work for you even when you’re not at home.
The home automation solution, Connexoon Window RTS, allows you to control your window coverings from your mobile device, no matter where you are in the world. Connexoon Window RTS also allows for voice control via third-party devices including Google Nest (direct connection) and Amazon Echo (using IFTTT).
Energy-Efficient Blinds
Reduce your energy usage by controlling the amount of heat and light entering your home. The major benefit of external products is that they block UV rays or cold before they reach your window, therefore preventing them from entering your home.
Longer Lifespan
Somfy’s smooth and controlled operation of awnings, roller shutters and external blinds ensures both maximum functionality and a longer lifespan of the product. Manual operation can damage blinds and awnings through excessive force or improper use.
Somfy’s Maestria 50 RTS motor is designed for all types of external screens and features smart obstacle detection, which will automatically retract your screen when it detects an obstacle, preventing damage to your screen.
Safety
Loose cords and chains are a danger to young children. With Somfy automated awnings, roller shutters and external blinds, the cords and chains are completely removed, providing peace of mind for you and a safer environment for your children.
Protecting your home while you’re away is even easier with Somfy automation, allowing you to control your window coverings wherever you are in the world, or pre-program scenarios to simulate presence in your home and deter intruders.
Quiet and Discreet
Somfy’s world leading motors are fully concealed within the awning or external blind. With the simple press of the remote control or Connexoon WIndow RTS app, you will enjoy the ambience and impress your guests with a quiet and sophisticated automated sun protection system.
