Motorized Shade Options Brookside Station

Every Motor System We Install

Your wireless rechargeable motors come with smartphone app control, scheduling capabilities, and battery life that typically lasts 4-6 months per charge. We install motors that work with roller shades, cellular shades, Roman shades, and most existing window treatments.

Brookside Station homes often benefit from automated light control during those bright summer afternoons and harsh winter glare off snow. We program your system to respond to local weather patterns and your family’s daily routine.

Each installation includes motor programming, app setup, smart home integration if desired, and a comprehensive walkthrough. We also provide local service and support, which matters when you need adjustments or have questions months down the road.

How long do wireless rechargeable motor batteries actually last?

Most wireless motors run 4-6 months on a single charge with typical daily use. Battery life depends on how often your shades move and the weight of your window treatments. Heavier materials like blackout shades or wood blinds use more power than lightweight cellular shades. The good news is that charging is simple – most motors charge fully in 2-3 hours using a standard USB cable. You’ll get low battery notifications through the app, usually giving you several weeks’ notice before you need to charge. We set up all notifications during installation so you’re never surprised by a dead battery.
In many cases, yes, but it depends on the specific shade or blind you currently have. We can retrofit motors into most roller shades, many cellular shades, and some Roman shade styles. The window treatment needs to be in good condition and have the right mounting system for motor installation. During our consultation, we’ll examine your existing treatments and let you know what’s possible. Sometimes it makes more sense to upgrade to new shades designed for motors from the start. This gives you better performance, longer battery life, and a cleaner installation that looks built-in rather than added on.
Your motors will continue running on their programmed schedules even without WiFi or app access. The schedules are stored directly in the motor’s memory, not dependent on internet connection. Most wireless motor systems also include a physical remote control as backup. You can manually raise, lower, and stop your shades anytime, regardless of WiFi status. When your internet comes back online, the app reconnects automatically. You won’t lose any programming or settings, and you can immediately resume smartphone control from wherever you are.
Quality wireless motors operate at about 35-40 decibels, which is quieter than most refrigerators. You’ll hear them working, but they won’t wake anyone up or interrupt conversations. The sound level depends partly on the motor quality and partly on proper installation. Cheaper motors tend to be louder and less smooth in operation, which is why we only install proven brands like Hunter Douglas and Lutron. Motors mounted inside the window treatment housing are quieter than those mounted outside. During installation, we position everything for optimal noise reduction while maintaining easy access for charging.
Yes, as long as your home has WiFi and the motors are connected to your network. You can raise, lower, or adjust any shade from anywhere with internet access. This is particularly useful for security – you can make your home look occupied while traveling by adjusting shades throughout the day. You can also respond to changing weather conditions or unexpected early returns. The app shows you the current position of each shade and battery status. You can control individual shades or groups of shades together, and you can override scheduled movements anytime from your phone.
Complete installation includes motor mounting, app setup on your smartphone, programming your preferred schedules, and connecting to your home’s WiFi network. We also provide smart home integration if you use systems like Alexa or Google Home. You get a full demonstration of all features, including how to create custom schedules, group shades together, and use manual override controls. We test every motor thoroughly and make sure everything operates smoothly before we leave. Follow-up support is included for the first 30 days, and we provide local service for any adjustments or questions that come up. Since we’re based right here in Cambridge, we can respond quickly if you need assistance.
