By adding this switch to your setup, you ensure that every family member or guest can easily adjust the lighting and privacy of a room without needing to search for a handheld remote or a smartphone.
Sophisticated Color Options to Match Your Decor
Aesthetics are just as important as functionality. The DecoFlex WireFree RTS 5 is available in three distinct finishes to complement any architectural style or wall color:
- Pure: A crisp, clean white finish that is perfect for modern interiors, bright galleries, and minimalist spaces.
- Ivory: A warm, classic off white tone that pairs beautifully with traditional home decor, cream colored walls, and natural wood trim.
- Lounge: A sophisticated, darker metallic finish designed for contemporary high end spaces, home theaters, and moody accent walls.
Primary Applications and Versatility
Zoned Lighting Control: Use the five individual channels to create specific zones in your living area. Channel 1 could control the sheer drapes for morning light, while Channel 2 manages heavy blackout curtains for movie nights. You can even program a "Master" channel to move all window treatments simultaneously.
Convenient Entry/Exit Points: Install a switch near the entrance of a room or at your bedside. This allows you to close all window coverings with a single touch as you leave the house or settle in for the night, providing immediate privacy and security.
Multi Product Integration: This switch is not limited to just curtains. It can also manage motorized awnings, solar screens, and Upholstery Foam integrated furniture pieces that utilize RTS technology, creating a unified smart home experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I install the DecoFlex WireFree switch if there is no electrical box?
Every switch comes with a unique Somfy low voltage mounting bracket. You simply cut a small hole in the drywall, secure the bracket, and snap the switch into place. It can be installed as a standalone unit or flush mounted next to an existing light switch using a multi gang Decora wall plate.
2. Which Somfy motors are compatible with this 5 channel wall switch?
This switch is compatible with all Radio Technology Somfy (RTS) enabled motors. This includes the Irismo 35 and 45 series, Sonesse quiet motors, and even exterior motors for awnings and screens. If your motor uses RTS, this switch will control it.
3. How long does the battery last and is it easy to replace?
The switch is powered by a standard 3V CR2450 lithium battery. Under normal use, the battery typically lasts several years. When the LED indicator lights stop flashing or the range decreases, you can easily pop off the faceplate to swap the battery without removing the bracket from the wall.
4. Can I control more than five window treatments with one switch?
Yes. While the switch has five buttons, each button represents a "channel." A single channel can be programmed to operate an unlimited number of motors simultaneously. For example, button 1 could control all four windows in your living room as a group.
5. Does the switch come with a wall plate included?
The DecoFlex WireFree RTS 5 typically includes a basic wall plate and the necessary mounting hardware. However, because it follows the standard Decora size format, you can easily replace the included plate with any custom screwless or decorative wall plate from a hardware store to perfectly match your room's aesthetic.
