Installing Cellular Shades
Installing our EcoSmart 2.0 cellular shades is so much easier than you might think! Customers of every type have had their new custom shades up and operating in no time. And of course, we’re always here to guide you!
We’ve made it as simple as possible to install your customized EcoSmart window shades. The basic idea is this…
- Attach included metal brackets to the window frame (or other mounting surface) with included screws.
- Snap the headrail (top metal rail that holds the shade) onto the brackets.
That’s it… your shade is up! Sure, there might be a detail or two after that, but most everything is preconfigured for you right here in the factory, leaving you with only the final touches.
Ordering motorized shades? They install just like our corded and cordless shades do! Of course, our motorized shades have all kinds of cool options available. So once installed, it could be as simple as charging your shade and then operating it right away – or you might need to set up a few more things to take advantage of additional features.
Of course, you’ll receive instructions and all the necessary components for a typical installation with your order, and we’re here to help you every step of the way. But if you’d like more installation details, you can find them below.

Installing Motorized Shades
Motorized and Motorized Top-Down/Bottom-Up
- Line up the bracket locations, attach the brackets to the window frame or wall (or other) with screws, then snap in the headrail.
- Charge each battery. The charging port is located on the headrail end cap near the top of the pull wand. Top-down/bottom-up shades have two batteries and associated charging ports, one on each end of the shade. For best results, allow a full charge of approximately 6 hours for each battery prior to extensive use of the shade.
- To operate your shade with the pull wand, a short tug will move the shade in one direction, a subsequent tug will stop the movement, and another tug will move the shade in the other direction.
- Your remote (if applicable) will be programmed to operate your shades prior to shipping your order.
- To operate your shades with a smartphone app, first determine what type of motor you have. To do so, lift the tassel cover at the bottom of the wand to reveal the hidden QR code sticker. Bluetooth motor stickers will have only the MotionBlinds name, the QR code, and a MAC address. HomeKit motor stickers will have the HomeKit icon (looks like a house), followed by numbers and the QR code.
- For Bluetooth motors, iPhone and Android users can download the MotionBlinds Bluetooth app for controlling your shades here:
- For HomeKit motors, iPhone and iPad users with IOS 16.6 or newer can download the MotionBlinds Eve app for controlling your shades here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eve-for-matter-homekit/id917695792
- Our EcoSmart 2.0 Motorized Cellular Shades are powered by either MotionBlinds Bluetooth motors or Eve MotionBlinds motors with Apple HomeKit technology. You can find a wealth of information for your particular motor – including how to determine which type of motor you have – at the MotionBlinds support website.
- User manuals for your particular motor type can be found here:
