Tubular Motor Controllers — Receivers, Switches and Group Control Explained
The controller side of a tubular motor decides daily convenience: a wired switch, a radio receiver with remotes, or group controllers running several motors from one point. This guide maps the controller options for shutter, awning and screen motors — and which upgrade path fits an existing install.

Upgrading an existing install

Switch-only motors upgrade to remote with an external receiver — no motor change. Multiple existing motors group under multi-channel remotes when receivers share a family; photos of the boards confirm it. Send your setup on WhatsApp 01098470908 and the upgrade path returns priced the same day.

FAQ

Can I add a remote to my switch-only motor?

Yes — an external receiver wires in; the motor stays. The board photo confirms the compatible family.

One remote for five shutters?

Multi-channel remotes run each motor alone and all together — receivers must share a family.

Do group controllers need special motors?

No — they command standard receivers; planning channels before ordering keeps it clean.

Smart home integration?

Available for several families — send your platform and motor models and we confirm.
