Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. What does external battery mean for this specific Somfy motor? It means the power source is not permanently built inside the motor tube itself. Instead, the motor connects to a separate Somfy external battery pack or a reloadable AA battery wand via a small cable. This makes it incredibly easy to swap or recharge batteries without taking the entire shade down from the window bracket.
2. Do I need an electrician to install the Somfy Roll Up 28? No. Because the motor is entirely battery powered and operates on a low voltage 12V system, no electrical hardwiring is required behind your walls. Any dedicated DIY enthusiast or professional drapery workroom can install and program this system safely in minutes.
3. What accessories do I need to make this motor work out of the box? To operate this bare motor, you will need a compatible 28mm crown and drive kit to fit your specific aluminum roller tube, a Somfy external power source like a battery wand, and a Somfy RTS remote control such as the Telis or Situo series to configure the limits.
4. Can I connect this motor to my existing smart home system? Yes. By adding a Somfy TaHoma Gateway hub to your home WiFi network, this RTS motor can easily integrate with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and various third party home automation systems like Control4 or Crestron.
5. What is the difference between V1 and V2 of the Roll Up 28? The V2 generation introduces several advanced mechanical upgrades. It features adjustable running speeds, allowing you to slow the motor down for quieter operation. It also includes soft start and soft stop capabilities, which gracefully slow the shade as it reaches its upper and lower limits to prevent noisy clanking against the window sill.
