Smart Tubular Blind Motor – Roller 10 ft
Overview
The Beakn Smart Tubular Blind Motor – Roller 10 ft is a mains-powered tubular motor that fits inside the tube of a roller blind, automating its movement for blinds with a drop of up to approximately 10 ft (3 m). It belongs to the Smart Tubular Blind Motor (Works With Automation) family — built for app, voice, schedule, scene, and automation control. There is no handheld remote included; this motor is designed for smart-home and automation-first households and spaces.
The motor slides neatly inside the existing blind tube, so the roller blind looks and functions as normal — only now it opens, closes, and positions itself on command, on a schedule, or as part of a wider Beakn automation routine. Installation requires a 220V AC mains connection with a neutral wire and is carried out by a regular electrician.
Features
•App control — open, close, and position the blind to any point from the Beakn app, from anywhere with an internet connection.
•Voice control — operate hands-free via compatible voice assistants; raise or lower the blind without touching a phone or cord.
•Schedules — set the blind to open or close at a specific time each day, automatically.
•Sun-event triggers — open at sunrise, close at sunset; no manual input needed.
•Scenes & automations — include the blind in multi-device routines such as Good Morning (raise blinds + turn on lights), Movie Mode (lower blinds + dim lights), and Good Night (close all blinds at bedtime).
•Precise positioning — smooth, reliable movement with accurate stop positions for granular control over light levels and privacy at any time of day.
•Quiet operation — runs at 31.2 dB, making it unobtrusive in living spaces during normal operation.
•Tubular fit — motor slides inside the blind tube; no visible hardware added to the blind or window surround.
•IP44 protection — rated against solid objects larger than 1 mm and splashing water.
•Light, heat & privacy management — automate shading through the day to cut glare, reduce solar heat gain, and support more efficient cooling.
Use Cases
•Tall windows & floor-to-ceiling glazing — the 10 ft (3 m) rating makes this the right choice for large windows, bi-fold door side panels, or any roller blind with a long drop.
•Living rooms — schedule blinds to manage afternoon glare automatically; trigger Movie Mode to close them when entertainment begins.
•Bedrooms — open at sunrise or a set wake time; close at sunset or as part of a Good Night routine.
•Home offices — reduce screen glare through the day without leaving the desk.
•Commercial spaces (offices, conference rooms, hotels, retail) — automate blinds across multiple rooms from one app; include them in building-wide scenes.
•Accessibility — provides effortless blind control for users who find cord operation difficult.
•Energy management — reduce cooling load during peak sun hours by scheduling mid-day blind closure.

FAQ
Does this motor need a neutral wire?
Yes. It runs on 220V AC mains with a 4-wire connection, and a neutral wire is required at the installation point. An electrician must confirm this is available before installation.
Does the Roller 10 ft motor come with a handheld remote?
No. The Smart Tubular Blind Motor (Works With Automation) family is controlled exclusively through the Beakn app, voice assistants, and automation routines. If you need a physical remote in the box, choose the Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor – Roller 10 ft instead.
Can I use voice assistants to control this motor?
Yes. The motor is compatible with voice assistants, so you can open, close, and position the blind by voice command, in addition to using the Beakn app.
What is the maximum blind drop this motor supports?
Approximately 10 ft (3 m). For blinds up to ~5 ft (1.5 m), the 5 ft version is the appropriate choice.
Is this motor suitable for Roman blinds?
No — this is the Roller version, designed for blinds that roll up and down on a tube. For Roman blinds (fabric that folds up in horizontal pleats), choose the Smart Tubular Blind Motor – Roman 10 ft.
How loud is this motor?
It operates at 31.2 dB — very quiet in normal use. If you need an even quieter motor (e.g., for a bedroom or meeting room), the Smart Silent family is tuned for near-silent running.
What is the difference between this motor and the Silent version?
The Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor – Roller 10 ft runs more quietly and includes a handheld remote. This standard motor runs at 31.2 dB and is app/voice/automation only — no remote in the box. Both share the same core platform (power, speed, wiring, IP rating, accessories).
Is it difficult to install?
No. The motor slides into the blind tube using the included A-Pipe adaptor, mounting accessories, and controller. Because it is 220V AC mains-powered (neutral required), a regular electrician performs the connection — no specialist is needed.
Can I include this motor in smart-home routines?
Yes. The included controller connects the motor to the Beakn app, enabling full participation in schedules, scenes (Good Morning, Movie Mode, Good Night), and automation triggers such as sunrise/sunset events.
What is IP44 protection?
IP44 means the motor is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and splashing water from any direction — suitable for typical indoor window environments.
Can this motor retrofit onto an existing roller blind?
Yes. The A-Pipe adaptor and mounting accessories are designed to suit both new and existing roller blind installations with a compatible tube.
