Motorized Window Treatments — Smart Home Ready
App-controlled, voice-activated blinds and shades that integrate with your smart home system. Perfect for hard-to-reach windows, large openings, and whole-home automation.
What Are Motorized Window Treatments?
Motorized window treatments represent the intersection of convenience, safety, and smart home technology. Graber's motorization platform transforms any blind or shade into a connected device that responds to your smartphone, voice commands, or automated schedules. At Revival Windows, we design and install complete motorized window treatment systems — from a single hard-to-reach skylight shade to a whole-home automation package that adjusts every window covering based on time of day, sunlight levels, or your daily routine. Motorization eliminates the dangling cords that pose a strangulation hazard for children and pets, making it the safest window treatment option available.
It also solves the practical challenge of operating large, heavy shades or blinds in high windows, skylights, and vaulted spaces that are difficult or impossible to reach by hand. Our trained team handles the complete installation including motor mounting, power routing, app configuration, and smart home integration.
Why Motorized Window Treatments Matter for Your Home
The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that corded window coverings are among the top five hidden hazards in American homes. Motorized window treatments eliminate this risk entirely. Beyond safety, motorization adds a layer of convenience and energy efficiency that manual window treatments cannot provide.
Automated schedules can open shades in the morning to let in natural light, close them during peak afternoon sun to reduce cooling costs, and lower them at sunset for privacy — all without you lifting a finger. For homeowners with smart home ecosystems, motorized shades integrate seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, allowing voice commands like 'close the living room shades' or scene-based automation that adjusts lighting, temperature, and window coverings simultaneously.

Technical Details & Specifications
Graber offers three motorization tiers: the Motorized Wand (a simple 3-button controller attached to the shade for basic up/down/stop control), Remote Control (handheld remote that controls individual shades or groups), and the Graber Motorization App (full smartphone and voice control with scheduling). Motor options include 12V battery-powered (easiest installation, rechargeable lithium batteries last 6-12 months per charge), 24V plug-in (continuous power via discreet power cord), and 120V hardwired (permanent installation, ideal for new construction or renovation). The app supports individual shade control, room grouping, scene creation, and time-based scheduling.
Compatible shade types include cellular shades, roller shades, solar shades, Roman shades, and sheer shades.
What to Expect for Motorized Window Treatments
Motorization adds a premium to the base window treatment cost, varying by motor type and smart home integration level. Battery-powered motors are the most affordable entry point, while hardwired systems offer the cleanest installation for new construction. We provide itemized quotes during your free consultation so you can see exactly what each component costs.
Every project is unique — that's why we quote on-site, not online. During your free in-home consultation, our window expert will assess your current windows, take precise measurements, and present tailored options with no pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Motorized Window Treatments
Graber's rechargeable lithium batteries typically last 6-12 months per charge depending on usage frequency. Recharging takes 4-6 hours via a standard USB cable. For high-use windows, we recommend plug-in or hardwired motors for uninterrupted operation.
In most cases, motorization requires new shades or blinds designed for motor integration. The motor mechanism is built into the headrail during manufacturing. However, if your existing Graber products are compatible, retrofitting may be possible.
Battery-powered motors continue to operate normally during power outages. Plug-in and hardwired motors will not operate without power, but most include a manual override for emergency operation.
Yes. The Graber Motorization App lets you control individual shades, create room groups, and build scenes that adjust multiple shades simultaneously. You can also set different schedules for different rooms.
