On our Measuring for Roller Shades page, you will find the mounting requirements for our EcoSmart roller/solar shades and tips for measuring like a pro to achieve a great fit. To learn more about specific motorization components, keep reading below…

Our “Automate” motorization components are provided by Rollease-Acmeda, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-end motorization solutions for window coverings.

And of course, all of our EcoSmart Shades are assembled right here in our Vermont, USA facility!

To power the smooth and powerful Rollease-Acmeda motor, you have a few great choices…

Integrated, Rechargeable Lithium Battery – The battery for our EcoSmart Roller Shades is built right into the motor, which means it’s conveniently concealed inside the roller tube. Depending on the size of your motorized roller or solar shade and the frequency of use, the battery can power the blind for up to 6-12 months (or more) between charges. When it does need recharging, simply connect our charging cable to the battery and plug the other end into a power outlet.

What about solar recharging? We offer that too! However, due to the particular requirements involved in ensuring proper charging, we’d prefer to talk to you before you purchase this option. We want to make sure it’s right for your situation, so please give us a call!

Plug-in Power Supply – If you have a power outlet near your window, this is as easy as it gets. Your shade will remain permanently plugged into the outlet, and you’ll never have to worry about recharging. The cord from the motor to the outlet (and any required extension cords we provide) are relatively thin, to reduce visibility, and power usage is minimal.

Hard Wiring – Usually best during new construction, this allows you to run wiring inside your walls, eliminating most cord visibility. However, as this extends beyond the DIY spirit of our Internet offerings and service for most residential customers, we highly recommend involving an electrician, and our ability to advise and assist will be limited. Please contact us if you would like to pursue this option.

After all, the point of motorized blinds is that they should be effortless to use, and our EcoSmart motorized roller and solar shades provide several fantastic options for easy (and yes, fun!) operation…

Remote Controls – Our 15-channel remotes allow each shade to be programmed to a specific channel and/or groups of shades can be programmed to operate simultaneously. Want to bring more light into your living room ? Select the appropriate channel and raise all of your living room shades at once!

Included with each of our remotes is a light-weight wall-mount holder. Mount the holder to the wall and your remote attaches to it magnetically. This is a very convenient way to keep track of your remote and/or keep it out of the reach of small children.

Home Automation – Now we’re talking! Our optional Automate Pulse 2 WiFi Hub opens up a world of home automation options for operating your motorized cell shades. Here are some of the exciting possibilities…
