The convenient, smart home compatible motorization solution will offer an upgrade to consumers' existing manual blinds, thereby providing seamless control over the home’s natural light.

Dayton, NJ (Sept. 8th, 2021) - Somfy, the world’s largest manufacturer of motors for interior window coverings and exterior solar protections, today announces the launch of its CleverTM DIY Tilt Blind Motorization Kit for simple, automated natural light management. Somfy’s first interior do-it-yourself motorization solution is aimed at offering the end-user convenient control over indoor light, glare, heat, and privacy via a simple upgrade to their existing blinds. 

With just a few everyday tools, consumers can now more easily and conveniently manage natural light in their homes. The easy-to-install motorization kit offers a quick upgrade to a consumer’s existing horizontal blinds using a simple three-step process - remove, replace, and remote. 

Smart home compatible, Clever can also be paired with the Somfy myLinkTM interface  as well as the TaHoma® Gateway, both user-friendly devices that include free apps and provide automated control over existing blinds through remote, smartphone, or voice control. These work with a wide variety of smart home systems including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and more. In addition to this, Clever offers wire-free power and a rechargeable option to consumers along with precision control to incrementally tilt blind slats based on their preferences. 

Deirdre Brower, End User Channel Director, said, “At Somfy, our aim is to make our valuable customers’ journey into the smart home world simple and accessible.” She added, “By bringing Clever directly to consumers, we are offering them the power to turn their everyday blinds into a motorized solution, using an easy-to-follow installation guide. Automated natural light management is now within their reach with Clever.”
