At Macarthur Home Improvements, we are proud to provide high-quality custom fitted indoor blinds and outdoor blinds and awnings to suit all homeowners and businesses in South Sydney.

We are pleased to advise there is quite a range of motorisation and automation solutions available to remotely operate your Blinds, Awnings and Shutters. Through our Somfy partnership, we have something for everyone no matter their experience with home automation.

Hand held remote controls for motorised blinds, shutters and awnings

Everyone is familiar with remote controls, so it is no surprise that our most popular form of managing automatic blinds, awnings and shutters is through hand-held remote controls. Somfy offer various styles to suit your decor, but the convenience of these remote controls doesn’t end there:

Somfy hand-held remotes can be assigned to one or a group of window coverings.
Quickly control multiple blinds, awnings or shutters at the touch of a button.
Handy when you’re in a rush to leave the house or the weather has suddenly changed.

Wall-mounted controls for motorised shutters, blinds and awnings

While hand-held remote controls are handy and familiar, they have a certain…..losability factor. This is not an issue with a wall controller for your automatic awnings, blinds or shutters. We can set up smart connections, so a switch on your wall controls one or many blinds, shutters or awnings.

We can colour code the controls or wall mounts to distinguish their function.
The outer frame colour can be selected to best match your wall.
Our business clients have found that an individual controller in each room works well, with a manager-level controller by the main door so that all shutters or blinds can be closed at the end of the day at a single touch.

Smart Phone controls for motorised awnings, shutters and blinds

It’s not too much of a leap to go from remote control to mobile phone control for your automated shutters, blinds and awnings. Using Somfy’s industry-leading technology called Connexoon Window RTS, you can centrally control all your Somfy-powered solutions from your smartphone and maximise the benefits they provide: natural light, privacy and convenience.

Operate all your motorised window coverings from one remote control.
Fear not – you can leave the house then manage your motorised awnings, shutters and blinds from afar.
The Apple and Android app also lets you schedule the opening and closing of the automatic blinds, awnings and shutters so you can best retain heat in winter months and minimise heat gain in summer months.

Smart Home controls for motorised blinds, awnings and shutters

If you thought the smartphone home automation was simple, then you will love the voice control functionality of the Somfy MyLink Connexoon solution. The exciting addition of IFTTT compatibility means you can now control your Somfy RTS products with voice control.

Use voice control on electric blinds, shutters and awnings through Google Home, Google Assistant and Google Nest.
Or, use voice control on electric shutters, awnings and blinds through Amazon Alexa and Amazon Echo.
Use Apple or Android smartphones to connect to your Google Home device.
