Motorisation options for Coverlight blackout blinds
Enjoy effortless control of your blackout blinds with Coverlight's innovative, battery-powered motorisation options. Choose from simple remote control operation or smart platform integration, for the ultimate control via smart device, with the convenience of automation.
Motorisation is a practical solution for larger windows or those that are difficult to access, where manual operation is cumbersome or impossible. It also provides accessibility and centralised control for safety and ease of use in the home, or in commercial environments.
Powered by a long-lasting rechargeable battery, a single charge will last approximately 6 months *1. The motors, and all blind components, are built to a high quality standard for lifelong durability and reliability (certified Australian-made) and backed by our 5-year warranty.
There are wide-spread benefits of choosing a battery-operated motorised option by Coverlight, for your power window shades blinds.
The wireless design means there is no need to hire an electrician for electrical work or make intrusive modifications to walls. This simplified installation process is an ideal option for both new construction and home or commercial renovations.
Coverlight's motorised system features advanced battery technology, engineered for long-lasting power. With normal use, a single charge will deliver an around six months of battery life, removing operational interruptions and the need for frequent charging, for “set and forget” convenience.
Coverlight's motorised options offer enhanced convenience, particularly for hard-to-reach windows such as those high up on walls, in stairwells or skylights. Our power window shades blinds can also be manufactured to accommodate windows of larger dimensions, with up to an additional 1 metre of width available over our manual options.

There is no digital setup needed and no reliance on Wi-Fi networks or smart devices, making this an ideal option for those less familiar (or comfortable) with smart home technology. Our remote control option is popular for guest bedrooms, hotels, the elderly, nurseries, conference rooms, hospitals and spaces where wifi is weak or unavailable.
All remotes are white, featuring standard up, down and stop buttons, as well as buttons to switch between individual channels or all channels. Handheld remote controls are available in 1-Channel, 6-Channel and 16-Channel options. Each features sleek elegant design with a convenient mounting cradle.
In contrast to traditional manual operation, smart hub-integrated blackout blinds allow you to fully automate your blinds to your home eco-system and daily routines, operate them completely hands-free and access them remotely.
Manage your blackout smart blinds from anywhere including your couch, your office, or even while away from the property using your phone. Enjoy the ultimate hands-free experience by simply asking your voice assistant to open, close, or set the blinds to a specific position using commands like “Hey Google, open the living room blinds”.
Smart-hub integration is ideal for those on the move, tech-lovers, specific environments with poor accessibility, existing smart home networks and business operations that benefit from automation.
Coverlight smart blinds integrate effortlessly with all the popular smart home platforms (Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Homepod with Siri) ensuring compatibility with the technology you already use and trust. This means you can incorporate your automatic blackout blinds into your existing smart setup, controlling them alongside lights, thermostats and other connected devices.

*1 The quoted 6-month average battery life for the motor assumes typical usage, which generally involves 1 up-down cycle a day. This estimate is also based on a standard blind size of approximately 2.4 meters by 2.4 meters. To help maintain the motor's battery health, it's recommended to charge it at least every six months.
