Motorized Blinds Control Options
Several control options are available for motorized blinds Canada homeowners. Here are the key choices and their benefits.
- Remote Control – Radio Frequency (RF) controlled. RF means that remote control does not have to be in direct sigh of the blind’s receiver. This is one of the most popular option based on functionality and cost. You might want to consider here locations as it will call for one or more remote controls. Think of controlling blind on Patio Door and your Master Bedroom, using one remote control might not be easy. Also remote controls have predefined number of blinds that they can control – 1 channel, 6 channels, 15 channels, 45 channels.
- Smart Hub – A compact device connecting your Wi-Fi router, blinds, and smartphone. Control your motorized window treatments via app, Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant. Create schedules, scenes, and manage your blinds remotely from anywhere.
- Bluetooth – Connects the motor directly to your smartphone app without a Smart Hub. Control is limited to when you are home, which some prefer for added smart home security and lower cost.
- Wand – it is a long stick with two buttons at the bottom. Pressing those buttons will make your motorized shade to open or close. Wands are cheaper option to go, however they require you to come to a window in order to operate the blind. Wand operated blinds cannot be controlled via smartphone app.
Power Options for Motorized Window Coverings
Most homeowners choose battery-operated motors for their motorized blinds. However, for custom homes or renovations, other power options may be worth considering.
- Low Voltage Wired – this option means that each window will have a physical low voltage wire be driven to it. There are couple of options like 12V or 24V motors. Please note that 24V motors are a slight quite than 12V motors. The benefit of such set up is that motors will work for a really long time as there is no battery inside that wears out. The con is that motors are tend to cost more compared to battery operated ones.
- Battery Operated – most popular options due to versatility and cost. Most battery operated motors under normal usage will require charging twice a year. There is also an option to install charging extension cord if blind is far from the floor.
- 110V Wired – the benefit of this option is that the motor cost the least and in addition it will last for really long time. The con is obviously you have to have 110V grade cable (14/2) supply to each window.

We had blinds installed by them 6 years ago and everything went well so we decided to hire them again for a new set of blinds. The price is fair but the customer service and approach went down. Maybe because they were new 6 years ago and were caring about their business or maybe the team that installed now was different. First time we had the owners . This time we had different people. I used to recommend then to everyone. Not anymore. Unfortunately, this is the last I ordered from them
I spent two months trying to find a style of blinds at many providers in Ottawa, until I found and contacted Lulu Blinds. I had 17 windows to be treated..... Not only were they able to find what I was looking for, the interactions with Art (the owner) and Dmytro (his installer) were professional, competent, friendly and understanding of my finicky requirements. Not only were they able to find and supply my special request, they also saved me thousands of dollars - complimented by me being able to work with and support Ukrainian individuals and suppliers.
I had custom blinds installed and the whole experience was fantastic. Art and his team spent a lot of time with me helping me choose exactly what I wanted — they were friendly, patient, and really knew their stuff. The installation was smooth and professional from start to finish. I’m so happy with the result and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality blinds and great service.
Lulu Blinds did a great job with our custom made, motorized zebra blinds for our condo. Their customer service was excellent and the prices were competitive. If you are looking for high quality blinds at a reasonable price, I highly recommend their services.

By far the best customer service experience we have had in a long time!
This is the 3rd house we have put in custom blinds (went with Ottawa custom blinds the last 2 times). We decided to change vendors after a very negative experience with Ottawa custom blinds, and we are glad we did!
Max and his team were great.
We did black out blinds in bedrooms, with light filtering on the main floor - all motorized.
The final cost came in lower than we expected by 15%, and the instillation team were very meticulous during install. We also changed our order a few times, and they quickly gave us a new quote.
During the building of our house, they came and measured more than once (during frame walk and final PDI), to ensure we could have them installed the day we took possession.
Would definitely recommend to friends, family, or anyone looking for a beautiful stress free custom blind setup.
