Smart Control, Zero Cords
Motorised blinds replace cords, chains, and manual effort with the push of a button. Press a remote, tap your phone, or say ‘close the blinds’ and they move. No more getting up to adjust the glare. No more wrestling with cords on hard-to-reach windows. No more safety concerns about children and pets getting tangled.
Automatic blinds also let you schedule your window coverings to open and close at set times. Wake up to natural light every morning. Have your blinds close automatically at sunset. Set them to react to temperature or sunlight changes with sensors.
At Watson, we can motorise almost any blind, curtain, or awning in our range. We use the best automation systems in the world: Somfy, Acmeda, and Becker. The same brands trusted by architects and builders in premium residential and commercial projects across Australia.
COMPATIBLE ACROSS OUR RANGE
Almost everything in our range is available with motorisation. Here are the most popular options:
Choose Your Control
Simple & Reliable
A compact handheld remote that controls one blind or a group. Press up, down, or stop. Simple and reliable. Our most popular control option. Multiple remotes can be used in different rooms, or one remote can control every blind in the house.
Best For
All rooms. Ideal for users who want simple, reliable control without a smartphone or smart home system.
Control From Anywhere
Control your blinds from anywhere through your phone. Open the app, tap the room, adjust the blind. Works from the couch or from the other side of the world. Set schedules so your blinds open with your morning alarm and close at sunset. Group blinds by room for one-tap control.
Best For
Living rooms and bedrooms where you want remote access and scheduling from your phone.
Hands-Free Control
“Hey Google, close the bedroom blinds.” Works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. No hands needed. Especially useful when your hands are full, when you’re in bed, or when you just can’t be bothered getting up.
Best For
Smart homes where you want hands-free, voice-activated control alongside your other connected devices.
One-Touch Control
A fixed wall switch beside your window for one-touch control. Clean, modern design that suits any interior. Press up, down, or favourite position. No batteries, no app, no setup. Just press and go.
Best For
New builds and hardwired blinds where you want a permanent, always-there control point.
Fully Automatic
Set your blinds to respond automatically to conditions. Sun sensors lower your blinds when UV hits a certain level. Wind sensors retract awnings in strong gusts. Temperature sensors adjust for comfort. Timers open and close on schedule. Your blinds adapt to the day without you doing anything.
Best For
Outdoor blinds and awnings, and anyone who wants hands-off, automated shade.
Power Options
All three power options work with the same smart home integrations. Choose based on your window location and how much you want to spend on installation.
COMPATIBLE ACROSS ALL RANGES
Motorisation is available across our full range — roller blinds, honeycomb blinds, roman blinds, venetian blinds, vertical blinds, panel glides, curtains, outdoor blinds, and awnings. The same reliable motor system and smart home integrations across every product in our range.
Set your blockout blinds to close at bedtime and open with your alarm. No more getting up to adjust the light. Motorised blinds are one of the most popular bedroom upgrades we install.
Our Recommendation
Motorised Blockout Roller Blinds or Motorised Honeycomb Blinds.
Adjust the light without pausing your movie or getting off the couch. Control multiple blinds at once with a single tap. Set them to lower automatically when the afternoon sun hits.
Our Recommendation
Motorised Sunscreen Roller Blinds.
Motorised outdoor blinds and awnings let you control shade and weather protection from your phone or a wall switch. Wind and sun sensors add automatic adjustment so your outdoor area is always comfortable.
Our Recommendation
Outdoor Blinds
High windows, stairwell windows, and skylights are difficult or impossible to reach manually. Motorisation is the only practical option. Battery-powered motors mean no wiring is needed.
Our Recommendation
Motorised Honeycomb or Roller Blinds with wire-free battery motor.
