Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor – Roman 5 ft
Overview
The Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor – Roman 5 ft is a mains-powered tubular motor that fits inside the tube of a Roman blind (up to ~5 ft / ~1.5 m drop) to fully automate opening and closing while preserving the blind's classic folding, pleated look. It belongs to Beakn's Silent family, tuned for quieter, near-silent operation compared to the standard motor, and it uniquely ships with a handheld remote in addition to app, voice, and automation control. It's the go-to choice for bedrooms, hotel rooms, and meeting/conference rooms where both quiet running and a physical remote matter.
Features
•App control — open, close, and set the Roman blind to any position from the Beakn app, from anywhere.
•Handheld remote included — operate the blind directly without a phone; distinguishes this model from the standard Automation-only motor.
•Near-silent operation — tuned quieter than the standard 31.2 dB motor, suited to bedrooms and quiet spaces.
•Voice control — hands-free operation via voice assistants.
•Schedules & sun events — auto-open at sunrise or a set time, auto-close at sunset or bedtime.
•Scenes & automations — join routines like "Good Morning," "Movie Mode," and "Good Night" alongside lights and other Beakn devices.
•Precise positioning — smooth 28 RPM movement with accurate stop positions for light and privacy control.
•Roman-blind friendly — preserves the elegant horizontal folding/pleated appearance while automating movement.
•Light, heat & privacy management — automated shading cuts glare, reduces heat gain, and supports more efficient cooling.
Use cases
•Bedrooms — near-silent operation for early morning or late-night adjustments without waking anyone; remote for quick manual control.
•Hotels — guests can use the handheld remote or app; scenes like "Good Night" close blinds automatically.
•Meeting/conference rooms — quiet "Movie Mode" or presentation scene lowers Roman blinds without disruptive motor noise.
•Living rooms/offices with Roman blinds — automate daily light management while keeping the decorative pleated look.
•Retail spaces — scheduled opening/closing for storefront Roman blinds with minimal noise during business hours.
Compatibility
•Blind type: Roman (folding/pleated) blinds only — not for roller blinds (use the Roller version for those).
