Common questions
What is the Cord Lift WireFree TLW25 RTS used for?
Part 1003294 is a Somfy dual-shaft cord lift motor for cellular, pleated, Roman and woven shades. It sits in the headrail, runs from an external 12V DC battery and has a built-in power cable and programming button, so the install needs no electrician.
What are its key specs?
Somfy rates the 1003294 at 0.8 Nm of torque and 30 rpm, with a noise level of 50 dB. The motor measures 7.76 in long and 0.94 in wide, and its electronic limits cover up to 100 turns.
How is it powered?
It accepts 9 V to 16.5 V DC from an external battery. The Somfy Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack (9021217) removes the need for battery swaps, and the Reloadable 12V DC Battery Wand (9018685) takes standard batteries.
Which remotes and switches work with it?
Any Somfy RTS transmitter, including the Situo 1 and Situo 5 Channel RTS Pure remotes (1870571, 1870575), the Telis 16 Channel RTS Pure remote (1811081) and DecoFlex RTS wall switches (1810813, 1810897). It stores up to 12 transmitters, with 656.2 ft of open-field range.
Can I control it from an app or a voice assistant?
Yes. Somfy says the TLW25 operates with simple voice commands through TaHoma, and a TaHoma Switch hub (1871037) adds app control and schedules. RTS is one-way radio, so the app sends commands but cannot report the shade's position.
Is it quiet enough for a bedroom?
Somfy rates the TLW25 at 50 dB and designed it for quieter running than earlier cord lift motors. Soft start and soft stop keep the shade moving without jolts, which suits bedrooms and living spaces.
