Upgrade
Roller Shades
Roller shades are generally operated with a bead chain or a cord loop. MOVE can easily be installed by yourself and controlled from the MOVE app or at the device.
Compatibility
Will MOVE fit?
MOVE fits many existing blinds and shades when they are operated by a bead chain or cord loop. The key is the control loop, not the style of the window cover.
Simple check
Look for a loop beside the window cover
If your blind or shade moves with a continuous bead chain or cord loop, MOVE can often be installed without replacing the window cover.
- Works with many bead chain and cord loop systems
- Needs enough wall or frame space for the motor
- Not made for spring-only mechanisms
Common window covers
Where MOVE is usually a good match
These are the most common window cover types people ask us about. Compatibility still depends on the chain or loop and the mounting space.
Will work
Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds are often operated with both a bead chain and a cord loop. Use one MOVE motor for open and close, and one for tilt when both controls are needed.
Upgrade
Roman Shades
Roman shades with bead chain or cord loop can be motorized and automated with MOVE.
Possibly
Cellular Shades
Cellular shades and pleated blinds protect from sun and add insulation in front of the window.
Possibly
Venetian Blinds
MOVE works at venetian blinds that have bead chain or cord loop. These systems are rare, but they do exist.
Possibly
Curtains and Drapes
MOVE works at curtains and drapes that have bead chain or cord loop.
