EcoSmart motorized cellular window shades start with our premium cellular components, then we add smooth, reliable motorization using select components from the world-wide leader in automated shade solutions, Rollease-Acmeda. Power your motorized shades with either a plug-in power supply or rechargeable battery pack, and control them with our multi-channel remote or add home automation features with our optional wifi hub. Sit back, relax, and let our shades do the work!

MOTORIZED CELLULAR SHADE INFORMATION

Great idea! Start with the basics…

On our Cellular Shade Styles page, you will find information on…

  • Minimum and maximum widths and heights.
  • Available fabric types.
  • Available power options.
  • Available control options.

… and other essential details pertaining to our motorized cellular blinds.

On our Measuring for Cellular Shades page, you will find the mounting requirements for the shade itself. To learn more about specific motorization components, keep reading below…

As always, we use only the best available components.

Most of the premium components used in every EcoSmart cellular shade are provided by Comfortex Window Fashions in upstate New York. 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!

Power your EcoSmart shades electrically or use rechargeable battery power.

Our smooth and powerful Rollease-Acmeda motor is built right into the headrail (top rail) of your EcoSmart cellular shade. To power the motor, you have a few great choices…

Rechargeable Lithium Battery Pack – Depending on the size of your motorized cellular shade and the frequency of use, our battery pack can power the shade for up to 6-12 months between charges. When it does need recharging, you simply connect our charging cable to the battery and plug the other end into a power outlet. The battery pack can be conveniently mounted to the back of the shade’s headrail if you have at least 4 inches of window frame depth. Otherwise, it can be mounted with screws or included adhesive strips wherever it’s most practical.

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, 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.

So now we’ve come to the fun part!

After all, the point of motorized blinds is that they should be effortless to use, and our EcoSmart motorized cellular 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…

PULSE 2 HOME AUTOMATION OPTIONS

Smartphone Control – The free Pulse 2 smartphone app (for IOS or Android) pairs with our wifi hub to allow…

  • Controlling your shades with your phone.
  • Controlling your shades remotely. Imagine being able to open and close your shades while you’re at work or on vacation!
  • Setting automated timers for your shades. Sometimes it’s easier to just “set it and forget it” – and now you can with auto timers!
  • Creating shade “rooms” – Create groups of shades that you want to operate simultaneously – whether they’re in the same room or not!
  • Creating shade “scenes” – Let’s say that first thing in the morning you want your master bedroom shades to open, one bathroom shade to close, and a particular kitchen shade to open 1/4 of the way. Hey, there’s your first “scene”!

Smart Home Integration – Pair your favorite smart device or home automation system with the wifi hub and your Smart Home will become even smarter, with automated window shades! The Pulse 2 Hub is compatible with…

  • Alexa
  • Google Home
  • Apple Homekit
  • IFTTT
  • And many more home automation systems

NOTE:  Technical support for device/system integration is limited to Alexa, Google Home, Apple Homekit, and the Pulse 2 app at this time. Please contact us if you intend to integrate with a different system.
