Roller blinds
Quiet Somfy Sonesse motors for single blinds, grouped rooms and wide areas of glazing.
Somfy motorisation
Your light. At the touch of a button.
Open one blind or close a whole room with a simple remote. Add app control and daily routines if you want them. We help choose the right Somfy motor, power and controls for your windows.
Motorised blinds & curtains
A remote is enough.
Smart control is optional.
Motorisation is useful for large glazing, hard-to-reach windows, child-safe rooms and several blinds that should move together. Smart-home control is optional: a correctly specified system can still operate simply from a handheld remote or wall control.

Power & communication
Rechargeable or wired.
Made simple.
Rechargeable battery motors are ideal where wiring is difficult or the room is already finished. Hardwired motors suit new builds, renovations, contract work and frequently used larger blinds. We’ll explain the compatible controls and help you choose a system that suits your home.

Simple to use.
Clearly specified.
You don’t need to choose a motor before talking to us. Start with how you want to use your blinds.
Rechargeable or hardwired?
Rechargeable battery motors can avoid new mains wiring in a finished room. Hardwired motors suit projects where a qualified electrician can provide and connect the supply. Size, access and everyday use help decide which is suitable.
What do RTS and Zigbee mean?
These are control systems used by compatible Somfy motors. The right choice depends on the motor, controls and any smart-home equipment. We confirm compatibility and available feedback as part of your specification.
Do I need TaHoma or an app?
No. Compatible remotes and wall controls provide straightforward operation. A TaHoma switch adds app control, schedules and compatible smart-home connections when you want them.

Choosing with confidence
What to consider before choosing.

Product and motor
The Somfy motor is specified around the blind or curtain type, finished size, weight and expected use.
Power
Rechargeable WireFree and mains-powered approaches are compared around access, project stage and long-term convenience.
Control
RTS, Zigbee, remote, wall switch and compatible TaHoma options are planned as one coherent system.
- Hardwired motors require a qualified electrician to provide and connect the mains supply.
- App and voice control require compatible equipment, a TaHoma switch and a reliable home network.
- Remote or wall control can continue to provide straightforward operation without relying on Wi-Fi.

Find answers about this product below. For measuring, orders and fitting, visit our main FAQ.
Explore all questions & answers01Do motorised blinds need to be wired?+
Not always. Rechargeable Somfy WireFree motors avoid new mains wiring and suit many finished rooms. Larger, frequently used or project-specified blinds may be better hardwired.
Find this answer in the FAQ hub02Can I use the blinds without Wi-Fi?+
Yes. Compatible handheld remotes and wall controls operate the blinds directly. Wi-Fi is used for app control, remote access, schedules and some smart-home functions.
Find this answer in the FAQ hub03What can TaHoma control?+
TaHoma can centralise compatible Somfy blinds, curtains and other connected home equipment. You can operate products individually or in groups and create timed or triggered scenes.
Find this answer in the FAQ hub04Can the system work with voice assistants?+
TaHoma supports Alexa and Google Assistant with compatible equipment. Apple HomeKit works with selected approved io-homecontrol devices only, and does not support RTS devices. We confirm the exact model and regional compatibility before ordering.
Find this answer in the FAQ hub05Can my existing blinds be motorised?+
Sometimes, particularly roller blinds, but it depends on the tube, brackets, dimensions and condition. We inspect the product and advise whether conversion or replacement is more reliable.
