Tubular Roller Blinds Motor

Your existing roller blinds, now fully automated. MOES tubular roller blind motors fit inside the tube of most standard roller blinds and connect to the Tuya Smart Life app for control by phone, voice, or schedule. No new blinds needed, no electrician required. WiFi and Zigbee options available.

Tubular Roller Blind Motors: Automate the Blinds You Already Have

Tubular motors are the cleanest way to motorise roller blinds. The motor sits inside the blind's existing tube, completely hidden from view, with no visible wires or external components. The result looks exactly like a standard roller blind from the outside, but opens and closes on command from your phone, by voice, or on a schedule you set once and forget. MOES tubular motors are compatible with most standard roller blind tubes and install without replacing the blind itself.

Why Tubular Motors Are Different from Chain Motors

Chain roller blind motors attach externally to the chain mechanism of an existing blind. Tubular motors replace the internal spring or manual mechanism inside the blind tube itself. Tubular motors are the better choice when you want a completely clean installation with no visible external hardware, or when your blinds do not have a chain mechanism to attach to. They are also the standard choice for new roller blind installations where the motor is built in from the start.

If your blinds currently use a chain pull, see our chain roller blind motors instead. If your blinds use a spring-loaded pull cord or have no chain at all, a tubular motor is likely the right fit.

What to Check Before You Buy

Tubular motors are sized by the internal diameter of the blind tube, typically 25mm, 35mm, or 45mm. Measure the internal diameter of your blind tube before purchasing to confirm compatibility. Also check the motor's torque rating against the weight of your blind fabric. Heavier or wider blinds require a higher torque motor. All relevant specifications are listed on each product page.

For WiFi models, the motor connects directly to your home router with no hub required. For Zigbee models, a MOES Zigbee gateway is needed. Both options are controlled through the Tuya Smart Life app and work with Alexa and Google Home.

FAQs About Tubular Roller Blind Motors

You need to measure the internal diameter of your blind's tube. Common sizes are 25mm, 35mm, and 45mm. Remove the blind from the bracket and look inside the tube to measure the opening. Match this to the motor size listed on the product page. Also check the motor's torque rating against the weight of your blind. A blind that is very wide or uses heavy fabric will need a higher torque motor to operate reliably.

A tubular motor fits inside the blind tube and replaces the internal mechanism, giving a completely hidden installation. A chain motor attaches externally to the chain of an existing blind. Tubular motors are better for a clean look or for blinds without a chain. Chain motors are better for retrofitting existing chain-operated blinds without disassembling them. If your blind has a chain, a chain motor is usually easier to install.

Most MOES tubular motors are powered via an AC adapter that plugs into a standard wall socket. No hardwiring is required. The power cable runs from the motor inside the tube to the adapter, which can be tucked behind the blind bracket or routed along the wall. Some models are also available with a rechargeable battery option for installations where a power socket is not nearby. Check the individual product page for the power method of each model.

Yes. MOES tubular motors allow you to set upper and lower limit positions during the initial setup process. Once set, the motor will stop automatically at these positions every time, preventing the blind from over-rolling or stopping short. The limit setting process is described in the product manual and typically takes a few minutes to complete after installation.
