Single Channel Remote
Multi Channel Remote
Do you need a Single Channel or Multi Channel Remote?
The right remote for you depends on how many blinds you want to control.
- Single-Channel Remote: Controls one blind or a group of blinds together at the same time.
- Multi-Channel Remote: Allows you to control multiple blinds individually or simultaneously using the same remote.
If you need a simple and affordable way to manage your motorised blinds, a single-channel remote is a great choice. For more flexibility and independent control, a multi-channel remote is the better option.
