Somfy-Powered Motorisation

Motorised Blinds, Awnings, Curtains & Venetian Blinds

One considered motor-and-control ecosystem for the shading you use every day.

AD Solutions specifies Somfy motors and controls across this dedicated motorised range. From a single blind or curtain track to grouped awnings and whole-room shading, the system is planned around the product, the space and the way you want to control it.

We survey, measure, specify and install projects across Dublin, Kildare and Meath, with selected work elsewhere in Ireland.

Four Product Directions

Somfy motorisation across interior and exterior shading

The right motor depends on the finished product. We specify the drive, controls and power route together so the installation works as one system.

Interior shading

Motorised Roller Blinds

Quiet, made-to-measure roller blinds for bedrooms, living spaces, kitchens and large areas of glazing. Individual or grouped operation can be built into the specification.

Explore motorised blinds

Outdoor shade

Motorised Awnings

Somfy-powered retractable awnings with convenient remote operation and compatible sensor or connected-control options for selected installations.

Explore awnings

Soft furnishings

Motorised Curtains

Powered curtain tracks for smooth opening and closing, including options suitable for larger glazing and heavier curtains. Control can be kept simple or integrated into a wider Somfy setup.

Tilt & lift control

Motorised Venetian Blinds

Motorised tilt and lift can make Venetian blinds easier to use on larger or harder-to-reach windows while retaining precise control of daylight and privacy.

Control Your Way

From one remote to connected shading across the home

Somfy offers different control technologies depending on the application, including RTS, io-homecontrol and Zigbee on selected systems. We choose the control route around the product and the level of automation you actually need.

01

Handheld & wall controls

Simple, familiar operation for one product or selected groups.

02

Grouped control

Move several blinds, curtains or compatible shading products together.

03

Schedules & scenes

Compatible systems can follow routines for daylight, privacy or everyday comfort.

04

Smart-home integration

Selected installations can connect to compatible wider home-automation platforms.

Connected Somfy

TaHoma® can bring compatible shading into one app

For compatible Somfy systems, TaHoma can add app control, schedules and scenes alongside the normal remote or wall control. That can be useful where several rooms or different shading products need to work together.

We confirm compatibility before ordering, because not every motor, control or smart-home combination supports the same features.

Why Specify the Motor Early?

The motor affects power, controls, wiring and the final installation

A good motorised project starts before the product is ordered. We consider the size and weight of the blind, curtain or awning, access to power, the preferred controls and any future automation requirements.

That lets the motor, brackets, power route and controls form part of the same installation rather than becoming separate decisions later.

  • Motor sized for the finished product
  • Power route planned before installation
  • Controls agreed before ordering
  • Smart-home requirements checked for compatibility

Survey, Specification & Installation

A motorised system should feel simple when it is finished

We handle the measuring, specification and installation so the technology stays in the background during everyday use.

    We confirm dimensions, fixing positions, product weight, access and the available power route.

  3. 03

    Somfy specification

    The motor and control technology are selected around the product and required level of automation.

  4. 04

    Installation & setup

Somfy FAQ

Questions before choosing motorised shading

Practical points about products, controls, app connectivity and installation.

Which products can you motorise with Somfy?

Our dedicated Somfy range covers roller blinds, retractable awnings, curtains and Venetian blinds. The exact motor is selected to suit the finished product and installation.

Can I control everything from one remote?

Compatible products can be grouped where the selected Somfy technology supports it. We confirm the most practical control layout during specification.

Can I use my phone?

Compatible Somfy systems can work with TaHoma for app control, schedules and scenes. The available functions depend on the motor and control technology chosen.

Can Somfy work with smart-home systems?

Selected Somfy technologies can integrate with compatible wider smart-home platforms. Compatibility is checked before ordering so the proposed setup is clear from the start.

Do motorised blinds have to be wired?

Not always. Depending on the product, size and motor range, both mains-powered and wire-free options may be available. We confirm the most appropriate route after survey.

Do you provide installation and setup?

Yes. AD Solutions provides measuring, specification, professional installation and control setup for the systems included in your quotation.
