What is the difference between a wired control system and a radio system?
In a wired system, the control is connected to the electric motor by wires which transmit your commands to the motor. This is the traditional solution. In this case, the control unit is fixed near the motor (beside the window, for instance, for a motorized blind). In the radio system, the commands are transmitted by radio waves. There is no electric wiring between the motor and the control. So from a control perspective you have a wireless system. The control is mobile, and you can control your window treatment from up to 100 feet away even through a wall. Installation is quicker too, and saves your walls from being damaged. Note: with Somfy, a wired system can always be upgraded to a radio installation.
