Multi Channel Remote
Do you need a Single Channel or Multi Channel Remote?
Choosing the right remote depends on how many blinds you want to control and how you plan to use them.
- Single-Channel Remote: Ideal for controlling one blind or a group of blinds together at the same time. It’s a simple, cost-effective solution for straightforward setups.
- Multi-Channel Remote: Perfect if you want more flexibility, allowing you to control multiple blinds individually or all at once using a single handset.
If you’re looking for an easy and budget-friendly way to operate your motorised blinds, a single-channel remote is a solid choice. For greater convenience and independent control across different rooms or windows, a multi-channel remote offers the versatility you need.
