Are you tired of manually operating your sunshade curtains every time? Do you wish to have remote control and automatic timer functionality for your sunshade curtains? Well, today we will discuss how to transform them.
Step 1: Finding the Right Motor Size for Your Sunshade Curtain Due to the wide variety of curtain rods available in the market, it is essential to ensure that your pipe and motor are compatible before making a purchase. Here's what you need to do:
- Disassemble your sunshade curtain and measure the outer diameter (OD) of the pipe as well as the distance from the groove to the edge of the pipe (ID).
- Based on your OD and ID measurements, find the motor size that suits your requirements.
- Match the motor that suits your OD and ID parameters. Common OD sizes include 45mm, 38mm, 28mm, 25mm, and so on.
- Pay attention to the fixed bracket section of the motor head. Ensure that it matches your curtain setup. If not, you can purchase our installation bracket or opt for our kit products.
Another concern is the width and length of your curtains. Our motor's load capacity is typically between 3-5 kilograms, which is sufficient for most curtains unless they are exceptionally long or heavy.
Step 2: Choosing the Power Supply Method There are three common power supply methods for motors:
- AC Power Supply: This requires a wall outlet. The advantage of this type of motor is that it is generally more affordable.
- Rechargeable Motor: These motors can be charged and do not require wall wiring. A full charge allows approximately 600 operations. However, they tend to be more expensive.
- DC Power Supply: Typically DC12V or 24V, these motors come in two variants: remote control and manual switch control. They are commonly used in recreational vehicles.
- Smart Motor: In addition to the above options, we have developed the latest motor with intelligent control. The main difference lies in its control capabilities. It incorporates a smart control system that can be connected to Alexa or Google Home for voice control. You can also use the Smart Life app for remote control, enabling you to operate your motor from anywhere at any time. Additionally, it supports programming for scheduled controls.
