Smart Shading
Motorised shading is the category this store started with, and the one where the details decide whether an install works. A curtain motor is not a plug-and-play gadget: it needs the right track, the right power, and a control path your home already speaks.
The listings here split into three shapes. Track kits ship as aluminium segments you cut to length — a 1.5 m kit covers windows from 0.9 m to 1.5 m, and longer kits cover wider spans by adding segments rather than ordering a custom rail. Tubular motors replace the motor inside an existing roller shade tube. Retrofit motors drive an existing bead chain, which is the only option for rented flats where the rail cannot be changed.
Two constraints matter more than any spec sheet. First, power: most track motors plug into a wall outlet, so you need an outlet near one end of the track; battery motors avoid that but need recharging every few months. Second, control path: a Matter over Thread motor pairs directly with Apple Home, Alexa or Google given a Thread border router, while a Zigbee or Wi-Fi motor needs the hub named on that product page.
If you are replacing a dead motor rather than starting from scratch, measure the tube diameter and the chain pitch before ordering — those two numbers decide compatibility, not the brand name.

Questions people ask about smart shading
- Can I cut a track kit to fit my window?
- Yes. Track kits ship as aluminium segments with joining pieces, and the rail is designed to be cut on site with a hacksaw. Measure the window opening, not the old rail — a 1.5 m kit covers openings from 0.9 m to 1.5 m. Cutting too short is recoverable: we ship a replacement segment at cost, which is cheaper than a custom rail.
- Do motorised curtains need a hub?
- It depends on the control path, not the motor. A Matter over Thread motor pairs directly with Apple Home, Alexa or Google when you already have a Thread border router such as a recent HomePod, Apple TV 4K or Echo. A Zigbee or Wi-Fi motor needs its own gateway. Each product page names the required hub or states that none is needed.
- Will a motor work with a rail I already own?
- Only if the rail takes the same drive format. Tubular motors fit inside a roller tube and are sized by tube diameter. Retrofit motors drive an existing bead chain and are sized by chain pitch. Neither works on a cord-and-pulley rail. Measure both numbers before ordering, and check the product page for the supported range.
- What happens in a power cut?
- Motors with a mechanical clutch can be pulled by hand while unpowered, which is why we favour them over models that lock when the battery or mains supply fails. Battery models keep working until the charge runs out, typically several months of normal use. The product page states which behaviour applies.
