Motorised shades across a wall of glass, operated from a handheld remote

Handheld remotes and wall switches.

Four ways to move a shade — from a single remote on the side table to a keypad that runs the whole house.

The range

Choose by how many shades you need to move.

Every controller pairs to our motors out of the box, needs no hub and no internet, and is set up by our installer before we leave the house.

One-channel handheld remote resting on a side table
01 — One-Channel Remote

One-Channel

The simplest control we make. One shade, three buttons, nothing to learn — the remote most people keep on the nightstand.

  • ControlsA single shade, or a group set to move together
  • ButtonsUp, stop, down, plus a favourite position
  • PowerCoin cell, replaced every few years
Five-channel remote held in hand
02 — Five-Channel Remote

Five-Channel

Five separate channels on one handset, so a living room of shades can move individually or all at once. The usual choice for a single floor.

  • ControlsFive shades or five groups, plus an all-channel command
  • ButtonsChannel select, up, stop, down, favourite
  • PowerCoin cell, replaced every few years
Living room with several motorised shades on one remote
03 — Fifteen-Channel Remote

Fifteen-Channel

For whole houses and larger installations, where every room needs its own channel and a single button should still close the lot at dusk.

  • ControlsFifteen shades or groups, plus scene and all-channel commands
  • DisplayBacklit screen showing the selected channel
  • PowerRechargeable, charged by USB-C
Wall-mounted keypad beside a doorway
04 — Wall Switch

Wall Switch

A flush keypad that sits where a light switch would. Battery-powered, so it mounts on any wall without an electrician, or hardwired into new construction.

  • ControlsOne or five channels, configured at install
  • MountingAdhesive or screw-fixed; magnetic face plate
  • FinishesWhite, brushed nickel, matte black

Questions

Before you choose.

Do I need Wi-Fi or a hub?
No. Every remote and wall switch talks to the motors directly over radio, with no internet involved. A hub is only needed if you want app control, scheduling or voice.
How many shades can one channel run?
As many as you like. A channel is a group, so five shades across one wall can be set to move as one — or given a channel each so they can move separately.
Can I add a controller later?
Yes. Any controller can be paired to existing motors at any time, and we will do it on a service visit or walk you through it over the phone.
Does the wall switch need an electrician?
Not for the battery version — it mounts with adhesive or two screws onto any surface. The hardwired version is intended for new construction and does need an electrician.
What happens if the battery dies?
The shade keeps its position and can still be moved by any other paired controller. Coin cells are a standard type sold anywhere; the fifteen-channel handset charges by USB-C.
