Motorized Shades & Home Automation

Window Shades That Move With the Way You Live.

Design a home where shades open, close, group, and respond through remotes, app control, scenes, voice assistants, and compatible smart-home systems — all built around beautiful custom window treatments.

✓Somfy and Bond-compatible motorized shading solutions.
✓RTS and Zigbee control directions available by project.
✓App, remote, scene, and voice-control possibilities.
✓Whole-home and difficult-to-reach window solutions.

Why Motorize?

The best automation is the kind you stop thinking about.

Motorization is not just about eliminating a chain or pressing a button. It is about making privacy, glare control, daylight, and room comfort easier to manage across the entire day.

One-Touch Control

Move a single shade, a room, or a group of shades without walking from window to window.

Scenes & Routines

Create useful positions for morning, evening, privacy, glare control, or media viewing.

Hard-to-Reach Glass

Motorization makes tall windows, wide openings, and inaccessible shades practical to use every day.

Cleaner Design

Remove visible operating chains and keep the finished window treatment quieter and more architectural.

Choose the Right Control Platform

Start with the shade. Then choose the control system that fits the home.

Motorized shading does not have to be locked into one control path. We work with Somfy TaHoma as well as Bond Bridge / Bond Bridge Pro where compatible, allowing the control strategy to be selected around the motors, the size of the project, the existing smart-home ecosystem, and how you actually want to use the shades.

Somfy TaHomaSomfy’s connected platform for compatible motorized shades, app control, scenes, and supported voice or partner integrations.
Bond Bridge / Bond Bridge ProAdds smart control to many compatible remote-controlled motorized shades and can connect supported systems with Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, and other automation workflows.
Somfy RTSA proven radio-control architecture for remote-operated Somfy shades, grouped control, and compatible bridge-based automation.
Somfy ZigbeeA connected motor direction for compatible TaHoma installations and newer smart-home projects.
Planning New Construction?

Decide the power and control strategy before the walls are finished.

New construction is the ideal time to coordinate shade locations, power, wiring, pockets, fascia, and control expectations before drywall and finish work make changes expensive.

Control the Experience

From a single remote to a coordinated whole-home shading system.

The right control method depends on how many shades you have, who uses them, whether the home is already automated, and how much intelligence you actually want.

Handheld & Wall Control

Simple, fast control for individual shades, rooms, or programmed groups.

Somfy TaHoma

App-based control, scenes, and compatible voice or partner integrations for supported Somfy-powered shades.

Bond Bridge

Smart control for many compatible remote-controlled shades, with Bond Bridge Pro available for larger or more advanced automation projects.

Voice & Automation

Connect supported systems to Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, scenes, schedules, and broader home-automation routines where compatible.

Design Still Comes First

A smart shade should still look like a luxury window treatment.

Automation is only one layer of the project. Fabric, openness, blackout performance, hardware, hem bars, fascia, pockets, side channels, and how the shade relates to the architecture still determine whether the finished room feels refined.

Solar ShadesReduce glare while preserving daylight and outward view where appropriate.
Light-Filtering ShadesSoften the room while maintaining a brighter, more decorative feel.
Blackout / Room-DarkeningIdeal for bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries, and privacy-focused spaces.
Dual ShadesCombine daytime light management with a second privacy or blackout layer.

Whole-Home Projects

One consultation can coordinate the windows, controls, and room-by-room goals.

Instead of treating every opening as an isolated shade, we can plan bedrooms, living areas, media spaces, kitchens, and large glass as one coordinated shading system.

Request Whole-Home Consultation
Simple Process

Design the room first. Engineer the automation around it.

01

Consultation

We discuss rooms, privacy, glare, fabrics, existing automation, and how you want the shades controlled.

02

Technical Measure

We verify openings, mounting depth, power strategy, shade size, access, and installation conditions.

03

System Design

We select the shade, motor direction, controls, grouping, and connected-home approach that fits the project.

04

Install & Setup

Shades are installed, limits and controls are configured, and the system is prepared for daily use.

Common Questions

Motorized shade and home-automation questions.

Can I control motorized shades from my phone?

Compatible Somfy-powered systems can use TaHoma app control for connected shades. The exact capabilities depend on the selected motor and control architecture.

Can motorized shades work with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Home?

Somfy TaHoma supports multiple voice and partner integrations. Compatibility depends on the specific motor, TaHoma configuration, and integration being used, so the control plan should be confirmed during system design.

What is the difference between RTS and Zigbee?

They are different Somfy control architectures. RTS is Somfy's established radio-control platform, while Zigbee is a connected protocol used on compatible newer systems. The right choice depends on the project, controls, integration goals, and installed products.

What is Bond Bridge and when would you use it?

Bond Bridge and Bond Bridge Pro can add smart control to many compatible remote-controlled motorized shades. They are useful when the project benefits from app control or broader smart-home integration without making TaHoma the only control path. Compatibility still needs to be confirmed for the specific motor and system.

Can I automate an entire house?

Yes. Whole-home projects can be organized by room and use grouped control, scenes, and compatible connected-home features. Larger projects benefit from planning the motor and control architecture before ordering.

Can I motorize blackout shades?

Yes. Motorized blackout or room-darkening roller shades are commonly used in bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries, and other spaces where convenience and light control matter.

Is motorization only for new construction?

No. Existing homes can use motorized shading as well. New construction simply gives more freedom to coordinate concealed power, wiring, pockets, and other architectural details before finishes are complete.
