Motorization
THE COMFORT OF MOTORIZATION
Put the control and operation of your blinds in the palm of your hand. When thinking about conundrums such as the height at which a blind must be installed, the weight of a blind, the access to blinds, etc. – motorization is a proven solution! Keeping in pace with technology, you will not only experience comfort, ease of use and add simplicity to your home or office, but also create a child- and pet-friendly environment. SOMFY can also give you the added benefit of connecting and controlling all your window coverings with your smartphone, even if you are on the other side of the globe! SOMFY will also make it possible for you to control several other devices (eg. garage doors, lights, heating, etc.) alongside your blinds! Zigbee integration is now also possible and huge strides has been made in the use of IO technology!
WHAT ABOUT MY BUDGET?
Motorization does not have to keep the bank manager awake at night! Understanding and supporting the end-user, made us realize that one does not always have to spend enormous amounts of money to experience comfort in your own surroundings. We therefore also introduced a more cost-effective motorization solution for a tighter and more manageable budget. You now have the choice between a market leader such as SOMFY or a pioneering giant such as RAEX – both manufacturing and supporting tested and trusted motorized products.

WISTAR Motorization
GENERAL INFORMATION
• WISTAR is a well established and well-known international supplier of motorized solutions. With more than 200 patented technologies, their products are sold in more than 100 countries, and local South African support is now also available.
• WISTAR has acquired a number of international certifications and has a dedicated R&D team, focussing on innovative product development.
• A wide range of smart technologies are built-in over several motors. Some of these technologies are Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiFi, Tuya App (available on Google Playstore and Apple iStore). This means that users can control these motors via their smartphone or other device at any time, from anywhere! Some of these technologies are explained below. Also see the motor specifications, features and benefits of different motors.
• These motors are manufactured to be super quiet, and sound levels can be as little as 25dB.
• The tubular motor can be set for the client to have the fabric rolling up or down to a desired height (top- and bottom limits).
• A third limit (favourite position) is now also available with these WISTAR motors – an ideal and convenient setting for when you use your blind(s) at the same position daily!
• Depending on the model of the motor, the speed of the motor can also be adjusted.
• These motors fit onto our current 38mm and/or 45mm diameter tubes and brackets – so gone are the days of the unsightly, huge, square 50mm brackets (that was used for our previous RAEX motor).
• Another advantage is, that because of the previous bullet, our normal 38mm and 45mm intermediate brackets can also be used with these WISTAR motors.
• For the wire free motors, we do not supply a charger cable together with the motor – the USB to C charging cable (±2m in length) needs to be purchased separately. We also do not supply a “charging block” (going into the power point) – a normal cell phone “charger block” can be used for charging this motor.
• There is a 5 (five) year warranty on the motor and a 3 (three) year warranty on remotes when factory defect is proven.
• When there is a power failure the settings and programming will not be affected.
