Walkthrough on MaxiSMART® Remotes

MaxiSMART® remotes are designed to give precise, wireless control of your motorised blinds and awnings. All models use radio frequency (RF) transmission, sending a secure signal from the handset to the motor so you can operate blinds smoothly from anywhere within range.

Wall-Mounted 1-Channel Remote

Purpose: Controls a single blind—ideal for one roller blind, awning, or other single-motor application.
Installation: Clips into a cradle fixed to the wall with screws or double-sided tape. The front cover can be removed with a small screwdriver if required.
Advantages: Fixed position means it won’t be misplaced, making it perfect for shared areas, children’s rooms, or commercial spaces.

Five-Channel Remote with Timer

Capacity: Controls up to five blinds individually or together.
Timer Function: Built-in timer allows up to two preset times for automated operation. The timer is optional; the remote can also be used manually.
Mounting: Includes a magnetic cradle so it can sit on a table or be stored neatly.

Fifteen-Channel Remote

Flexibility: Controls up to fifteen blinds and allows blinds to be grouped and operated together.
Expandable: Extra channels can be hidden by the installer so you only see the blinds you need. Additional blinds can be added later without requiring another remote.
Value: Offers the widest coverage and often the best value when operating multiple blinds.

Range and Signal Performance

All MaxiSMART® remotes have an operating range of up to 100 metres in open space. Heavy brick or concrete walls can reduce this range, but in a typical home or office they perform reliably.

Key Benefits

Secure, reliable RF technology for consistent performance.
Scalable control for small or large installations.
Simple user interface with up, down, and stop buttons, plus channel selectors on multi-channel models.

Summary

Whether you need single-blind control or the ability to manage multiple blinds in groups, MaxiSMART® remotes provide a flexible, cost-effective solution. Choose from 1-channel, 5-channel with timer, or 15-channel versions to match the scale of your motorised blind setup.
