Maxi Smart Wi-Fi Enabled and Obstacle Deduction Motor Intro
Published April 9, 2025

Apollo’s MaxiSMART® range continues to evolve with new technology that makes operating blinds and awnings easier, smarter, and safer. Two of the latest features are Wi-Fi enabled motors and obstacle detection for awnings.

Wi-Fi Enabled Motorisation

  • Direct App Control: These motors connect straight to the free Connector App without requiring an additional hub or bridge.

  • Features via the App:

    • View the exact position of each blind

    • Create room settings for individual spaces

    • Group blinds into scenes for one-touch control

    • Set up multiple timers for automated operation

  • Smart Living: This makes day-to-day use simple, with seamless integration into modern smart homes.

Obstacle Detection for Awnings

  • Built-In Safety: The latest MaxiSMART® awning motors now feature obstacle detection.

  • How it Works:

    • If a chair, table, or other object is left under the awning, the motor will detect the obstruction.

    • The awning will reverse upwards by about 200 mm and stop, preventing further movement.

  • Why It Matters: Without this feature, blinds may continue to force downward, risking damage to both the fabric and the motor mechanism. Obstacle detection prevents unnecessary wear and protects your investment.

Summary

With Wi-Fi connectivity and obstacle detection, MaxiSMART® motors represent a new standard in home automation and blind safety. These innovations give users greater convenience, smarter scheduling, and essential safeguards against accidental damage.
