Somfy DIY Automated blind kit instruction Video

An easy guide to assemble your motorised blind from Somfy.

[@LookatBowen]

Thank you for an excellent, easy to follow video. On my roller, there is a red light that appears when I press the remote controller. (any button). I've only had them for less than 3 months, thus was wondering how long the battery should last if the blind is opened and closed once per day?

I’ve been doing this for many years.

It is not hard to see that in at least three stages in this video things will go wrong if you do this the first time. To suggest that this will work like this the first let's say ten times you try, does not seem honest to me.

Where can these be kits be obtained from in the UK? I cannot find them on your site

[@evieemaya88]

Hey Pal, I'm having same issue did you ever find out where to buy from?

[@stevenl6923]

Is it possible to not drill holes, e.g. would 3M command strips work?

[@monicamoore3073]

Is this the principle for a roman blind?

Why didn’t the blind roll completely up

[@SomfyUK]

For the instruction video it was decided not to fully roll up the blind , in this way the steps and subtle movements of the blind are easier to follow. If you install the blind yourself, you can easily set it to roll up completely.

the biggest junk at high prices. These motors break down every couple of years and cost 500 euros a piece. If you have 10 screens you can go and work for it. DO NOT BUY !!!!
