Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor – Roller 5 ft
Overview
The Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor – Roller 5 ft is Beakn's quieter, remote-included blind motor designed for roller blinds with a drop of up to approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). It belongs to the Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor (Works With Automation & Remote) family — meaning it combines full smart-home automation (app, voice, schedules, scenes) with near-silent operation and a handheld remote included in the box, so anyone can operate the blind directly without a phone or smart device.
The motor fits neatly inside the roller blind tube. A standard electrician connects it to the 220V AC mains supply (neutral wire required), and from that point the blind can be raised, lowered, or set to any position automatically or on demand. It is the ideal choice for bedrooms, hotel rooms, meeting rooms, and any space where quiet operation and simple physical control both matter.
Features
•Near-silent operation — tuned specifically for quiet running; measurably quieter than the standard motor (31.2 dB), making it well suited to bedrooms, hotel rooms, and meeting rooms where noise is a concern.
•Handheld remote included — operate the blind directly without a phone or app; ideal for guests, children, or anyone who prefers a physical control.
•App control — open, close, and position the blind to any level from the Beakn app, from anywhere.
•Voice control — hands-free operation via compatible voice assistants; say the command and the blind responds.
•Schedules & sun events — set the blind to open at sunrise, close at sunset, or follow any custom time-based schedule.
•Scenes & automations — integrate the blind into multi-device routines such as "Good Morning," "Movie Mode," and "Good Night" alongside Beakn lights and other smart devices.
•Precise positioning — smooth, reliable movement with accurate stop positions for fine-tuned light and privacy control throughout the day.
•Fits inside the tube — the tubular motor installs cleanly inside the roller blind tube; no external motor housing is visible.
•IP44 protection — protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and splashing water.
•Light, heat & privacy management — automate shading to reduce glare, manage heat gain, and support more efficient cooling at different times of day.

Installation & Wiring
Overview
A regular (licensed) electrician installs the motor. It fits inside the blind's roller tube and connects to the existing 220V AC mains supply.
Step-by-step summary
1.Check your blind — confirm it is a roller blind with a drop of up to approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). For longer drops, the 10 ft version is required.
2.Confirm wiring at the installation point — a 4-wire, 220V AC mains connection with a neutral wire is required. If no neutral wire is present, one must be run before installation.
3.Insert the motor — slide the 515 mm tubular motor into the roller blind tube.
4.Attach the A-Pipe adaptor — the included adaptor couples the motor securely to the blind tube.
5.Mount and wire — use the included mounting accessories to fix the motor in position; the electrician connects the 4-wire mains supply.
6.Connect the controller — install the included controller, which links the motor to the Beakn app and enables automations, schedules, and voice control.
7.Pair and configure — set up in the Beakn app; configure limit positions (fully open / fully closed) and any schedules or automations.
8.Remote — the handheld remote is included and ready to use for direct, app-free control.
Critical wiring notes
•220V AC mains supply is required — this is not a battery or low-voltage motor.
•Neutral wire is mandatory — a 4-wire connection (including neutral) must be present at the install location. This is non-negotiable; standard 2-wire or 3-wire (live/switch/earth only) setups are not sufficient without adding a neutral.
•Must be installed by a qualified electrician.
FAQ
Does this motor need a neutral wire?
Yes. Like all Beakn Smart Blind Motors, this model runs on 220V AC mains with a 4-wire connection. A neutral wire is required at the installation point. If your current wiring does not include a neutral, an electrician will need to run one before installation.
Does it come with a handheld remote?
Yes — this is a key differentiator of the Silent family. A handheld remote is included in the box so anyone can operate the blind directly without a phone or app.
How quiet is "silent"?
The standard Beakn motor runs at approximately 31.2 dB. The Silent motor is engineered to run measurably quieter than that — near-silent in normal use. An exact dB figure is not separately rated for the Silent model, but it is specifically tuned for noise-sensitive environments like bedrooms and meeting rooms.
What blind type and size does this motor suit?
This motor is for roller blinds (blinds that roll up and down on a tube) with a drop of up to approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). For longer drops, choose the 10 ft version. For Roman blinds, choose a Roman variant.
Can I control it without a smartphone?
Yes — the included handheld remote allows full operation without a phone. You can also set schedules and automations in the Beakn app so the blind operates automatically with no manual input required.
Does it work with Alexa or Google Assistant?
Yes. The motor works with compatible voice assistants, so you can open, close, and position the blind by voice command in addition to using the app and remote.
Can I include it in multi-device automations?
Yes. Through the Beakn app, this motor can be added to scenes and automation routines — such as "Good Morning" (open blinds + turn on lights), "Movie Mode" (close blinds + dim lights), or "Good Night" (close blinds + lock + turn off lights).
What is included in the box?
Mounting accessories, A-Pipe adaptor, controller, and a handheld remote.
Is the motor visible when installed?
No. The tubular motor fits entirely inside the blind's roller tube, keeping the installation clean and unobtrusive.
Does it work with schedules and sunrise/sunset events?
Yes. You can schedule the blind to open at sunrise and close at sunset, or set any custom time-based schedule through the Beakn app.
Do I need a professional to install it?
Yes. Because the motor connects directly to 220V AC mains wiring, a qualified electrician must carry out the installation.
What is the IP44 protection rating?
IP44 means the motor is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm (e.g. tools, wires) and against water splashing from any direction — providing reasonable resilience in typical indoor environments.
