Somfy WireFree
Motorization without wiring - rechargeable battery motors that turn any window into a smart window.
The condo answer: no electrician, no conduit, no approvals
WireFree is how Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale high-rises get motorized shades: rechargeable battery motors hidden inside the shade tube, installed in an afternoon with zero wiring. No electrician, no opened walls, and in most buildings no association construction approvals.
Batteries run for months to years per charge depending on use, and recharging is as simple as plugging in - without removing the shade. Pair WireFree with solar, blackout, or honeycomb fabrics, control by remote or TaHoma app, and the retrofit is complete.
Recently: a golf course home in Boca Raton - Cord Lift WireFree CL32 RTS motors on the honeycomb shades behind 18-foot-high shutters, each battery pack topped up by a Somfy WireFree Li-ion solar panel on the glass, run from a Telis 16 and TaHoma and later added to Control4.

Frequently asked
How long does the battery last?
Months to years per charge depending on size and use.
Do I need my HOA's permission?
Usually not - it installs like any window treatment, no construction.

Yes for most residential glass; very large spans may suit wired Sonesse.
Can WireFree join a smart home?
Yes - through TaHoma.
Control systems these shades answer to
Every motorized system we install runs from a remote, an app or the home's control system. Which one depends on the motor family, so we settle it before the shade is made.
