Discover the Somfy Sonesse 40 PoE Motor (1241428):
Welcome to the next generation of smart shade automation. The Somfy Sonesse 40 PoE motor (model 1241428) is engineered for performance, convenience, and whisper quiet operation. Part of Somfy's renowned Sonesse line, this motor is designed for those who refuse to compromise on quality and seek seamless integration into their smart building or home automation systems. It brings together the simplicity of Power over Ethernet (PoE) with the advanced control of built in Bluetooth technology, creating a superior solution for interior window coverings.
The Power of Simplicity: Power over Ethernet (PoE):
One of the standout benefits of this motor is its use of Power over Ethernet technology. This means a single standard Cat-5e or Cat-6 Ethernet cable delivers both low voltage power and data communication directly to the motor. This innovation eliminates the need for separate, bulky power supplies or the expense of hiring an electrician to run high voltage wiring. The result is a cleaner, more flexible, and cost effective installation. This is especially useful for installations in locations far from a standard electrical outlet.
Whisper Quiet and Powerful Performance:
The Sonesse 40 motor lives up to its name, providing powerful operation that is discreet and minimally intrusive. With a torque rating of 6 Nm and an adjustable speed of 10-28 RPM, it is more than capable of handling a wide range of applications, including larger and heavier shades up to 13 feet by 13 feet. This combination of strength and quietness makes it the perfect motor for environments where tranquility is essential, such as bedrooms, nurseries, home theaters, and executive conference rooms.
Versatile Applications for Any Interior:
The Somfy Sonesse 40 PoE is not limited to a single type of window treatment. Its versatile design makes it an ideal automation choice for a variety of styles:
• Roller and Solar Shades: Its smooth, consistent speed is perfect for modern roller and solar shades, ensuring they roll up evenly every time.
• Roman Shades: Add a touch of luxury to classic Roman shades with automated, one touch control.
• Sheer and Horizontal Blinds: Precisely manage light and privacy with the fine control offered by this motor.
• Cellular and Pleated Shades: It works wonderfully with the lightweight design of cellular and pleated shades, providing effortless operation.
