MOTORIZED WINDOW COVERING ASSEMBLY

摘要

Various embodiments relate to apparatuses and methods of attractive, low cost, controllable, or other featured motorized window covering assemblies. The use of a motor assembly with an integrated WiFi interface enables eliminating a setup box, resulting in lower cost. Eliminating the setup box and any associated wires further eliminates the eye sore that they may pose. These eliminations, along with an elongated motor assembly used in some embodiments, further enable the motor to be made less noticeable by, for example, making it easier to hide or camouflage. As one example, an elongated motor assembly, comprising an elongated casing surrounding the motor and the control board, is hidden inside a window covering holder. An IP address can be assigned to each motor, which enables addressing and controlling each motor individually from any remote device located anywhere with access to the internet.

主权项

1. A Wi-Fi motorized window covering assembly comprising:
a motor; a window covering holder coupled to the motor; and a control board communicably coupled to the motor, the control board including a WiFi interface to receive control signals; wherein the control board controls, by providing current or voltage, operation of the motor in accordance with the control signals received through the WiFi interface, wherein the operation of the motor causes at least a portion of the window covering holder to move such that a window covering attached to the window covering holder would also move.
