Smart Tubular Blind Motor – Roman 10 ft
Overview
The Beakn Smart Tubular Blind Motor – Roman 10 ft is a mains-powered tubular motor that automates Roman blinds with a drop of up to approximately 10 ft (3 m). It fits neatly inside the blind tube, preserving the elegant horizontal folding (pleated) appearance that defines a Roman blind — you get full automation without sacrificing the look. Control is entirely through the Beakn app, voice assistants, schedules, scenes, and automation routines. There is no handheld remote included; this motor is built for smart-home and automation-first households and spaces. Installation requires a regular electrician, as the motor connects to 220V AC mains with a neutral wire.
This product belongs to the Smart Tubular Blind Motor (Works With Automation) family — the standard (non-silent) automation range.
Features
•App control — open, close, and set the blind to any position from the Beakn app, from anywhere with an internet connection.
•Voice control — operate blinds hands-free via compatible voice assistants; raise, lower, or position by voice command.
•Schedules & sun events — program the blind to open at a set time or at sunrise, and close at sunset or a chosen bedtime.
•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.
•Sunrise/sunset automation — the motor responds to sun-event triggers for truly effortless light management day to day.
•Precise positioning — smooth, reliable movement with accurate stop positions for fine-grained light and privacy control.
•Quiet operation — runs at 31.2 dB, making it very unobtrusive during daily operation.
•Roman-blind friendly — specifically designed for Roman blinds; the folding, pleated aesthetic is fully preserved when the blind operates.
•Light, heat & privacy management — automate shading throughout the day to reduce glare, limit heat gain, and support more efficient cooling.
•Fits inside the tube — completely hidden installation; no visible motor hardware once fitted.
•IP44 protection — protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashing from any direction.

FAQ
Does this motor need a neutral wire?
Yes. All Beakn Smart Blind Motors — including this one — run on 220V AC mains with a 4-wire connection. A neutral wire is required at the installation point. Check this before purchase; if there is no neutral wire, an electrician will need to run one.
Is a handheld remote included?
No. The Smart Tubular Blind Motor (Works With Automation) family does not include a handheld remote. Control is through the Beakn app, voice assistants, schedules, scenes, and automations. If you need a physical remote in the box, choose the Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor – Roman 10 ft instead.
Will this work with my Roman blinds?
Yes — this motor is specifically designed for Roman blinds. It automates raising and lowering while fully preserving the characteristic horizontal folding (pleated) appearance.
What's the maximum blind drop this motor can handle?
Approximately 10 ft (~3 m). For blinds with a shorter drop (up to ~5 ft / 1.5 m), the Smart Tubular Blind Motor – Roman 5 ft is the appropriate choice.
Can I control this with Alexa or Google?
Yes. The motor works with voice assistants, so you can open, close, and position the blind by voice — in addition to full control through the Beakn app.
How quiet is it?
It operates at 31.2 dB — very quiet during normal use. If you need an even quieter motor (for a bedroom or hotel room, for example), consider the Smart Silent Tubular Blind Motor – Roman 10 ft, which is tuned for near-silent running.
What is the difference between this motor and the Silent version?
The standard motor (this product) is controlled by app, voice, and automations, and runs at 31.2 dB. The Silent version runs more quietly and also includes a handheld remote. Both handle a 10 ft Roman blind drop. Choose this product for a purely smart-home setup; choose the Silent version if quieter operation or a physical remote is a priority.
Does it work with Beakn scenes and automations?
Yes. The included controller connects the motor to the full Beakn ecosystem. You can include the blind in scenes like "Good Morning," "Movie Mode," and "Good Night," and set sunrise/sunset-triggered automations alongside other Beakn devices.
Is it hard to install?
The motor itself slides into the blind tube using the included A-Pipe adaptor and mounting accessories. Because it connects to 220V AC mains (neutral required), a regular electrician must carry out the electrical connection — no specialist blind installer is needed.
What does IP44 mean?
IP44 means the motor is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and against water splashing from any direction. It is suitable for normal interior window environments.
Can this motor be used in a hotel or commercial setting?
Yes. The motor is suitable for residential and commercial environments including bedrooms, living rooms, offices, conference rooms, hotels, and retail spaces.
