Control4 motorised blinds move on the same scenes as the lights, so Goodnight closes every blind in the house and Morning opens the bedroom slowly. Across Dublin we fit wired motors at first fix in new builds and battery motors to existing blinds in finished rooms.
How Control4 motorised blinds work in a Dublin home
Each blind or curtain track has a motor that Control4 drives directly or through the motor maker's hub. Blinds can follow the sun through the day to keep a south facing kitchen cool and protect furniture, close when the cinema starts, and drop to a set height when a scene is pressed.
In a Dublin terrace with original sash windows, battery motors in roller or roman blinds avoid any cabling. In a new build we would rather bring power to each window at first fix, which gives the quietest and most reliable result.
- Roller, roman, venetian and curtains. Motors from the main manufacturers, chosen to suit the blind maker's fabric and weight.
- Sun tracking. Positions that change with the time of year, not just the time of day.
- Quiet motors. Bedroom motors are specified for low noise so a morning open does not wake the house.
- Heating too. Underfloor heating, radiators and air conditioning join the same scenes zone by zone.
Blinds work best planned alongside lighting control, which is how the LED feature wall living room was designed: one scene sets the light slots, the media wall and the window together.
Questions we are often asked
Can you motorise blinds I already have?
Often, yes. Many roller and roman blinds take a battery motor in place of the existing tube or track, and curtains can move to a motorised track. We check the blind before quoting.
How long do battery blind motors last between charges?
Months, in normal use. The motor maker gives the figure for each model and we tell you what to expect for your windows.
Can the blinds close automatically when it gets dark?
Yes. Control4 knows sunset for Dublin every day of the year and can close blinds at dusk, or a set time before or after it.
Do motorised blinds need a wall switch?
No. They run from the keypads, the Control4 app and the remote, though a discreet wall switch can be added where you want one.
