### The Smart Home Upgrade
Wake up to blinds automatically opening. **Close them all from your phone on the way home. Set schedules**. Motorised blinds are brilliant once you've got them working.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If you're getting multiple motorised blinds, battery-powered ones save on power cable routing. They need charging every few months but installation is much simpler.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Multiple windows?** Motorised blinds work brilliantly grouped together. All bedroom blinds close at sunset, all open at sunrise. Worth doing properly. **Battery vs mains:** Battery-powered are simpler to install (no power runs) but need charging every 3-6 months. Mains-powered are permanent but need socket access. **Smart home:** Most modern motorised blinds work with Alexa/Google/HomeKit. The physical installation is my bit - the smart home setup is yours (or your IT person's). **Exeter's older properties:** Running power cables can be tricky in older houses. Sometimes battery-powered blinds make more sense than chasing cables through thick walls.
Frequently Asked Questions about Motorised blind installation in Sidmouth
Do motorised blinds need power sockets?
Yes - they need mains power (or some run on rechargeable batteries). Either you have a socket nearby, or I can run cable to one (charged separately). Battery-powered ones just need charging occasionally.
Can you connect them to Alexa/Google Home?
I'll mount and power the blinds physically. For smart home integration (Alexa, Google, HomeKit), you'll need to follow the app setup - that's more IT than handyman work. Happy to help where I can though.
What if I've got multiple blinds - can they work together?
Yes - most motorised blind systems let you group blinds. All bedroom blinds close together, living room blinds open together, etc. I can help set up basic grouping.
Are they much heavier than normal blinds?
The motor adds weight - maybe 1-2kg depending on size. Needs proper fixings to wall/ceiling, not just the basic plugs that came with the blind. I use appropriate fixings for the total weight.
How long does fitting take?
Single motorised blind with power nearby: 1-1.5 hours including motor setup. Multiple blinds or power cable runs needed: 2+ hours depending on complexity.
