Common questions
What is the Sonesse 40 RTS 404S2 RH built for?
Part 1001636 is a wired 120V motor from Somfy's quiet Sonesse 40 range for interior blinds, shades and projection screens. Its compact 40mm body fits smaller tubes and tighter headrails, and a built-in RTS receiver handles wireless control.
What torque and speed does it deliver?
Somfy rates the 1001636 at 4 Nm and 36 rpm, with a traction force of 15.44 lb. It has a round head, electronic limits with a capacity of 250 turns, and needs a tube with an inside diameter of at least 1.46 in. Somfy lists a noise level of 42 dB.
What does without Fast Connector mean for wiring?
This version ships with a 9.84 ft, 3-wire cable with no Fast Connector on the end, for wiring to the 120V/60Hz power feed. It uses 110 W in operation. If you want a plug-together connection, choose the Sonesse 404S2 RTS with Fast Connector (1240380).
Which remotes and switches work with it?
Any Somfy RTS transmitter, including the Situo 1 and Situo 5 RTS Pure remotes (1870571, 1870575), the Telis 16 RTS Pure (1811081) and DecoFlex RTS wall switches (1810813, 1810830). The motor stores up to 12 transmitters. Somfy lists an open-field range of 164.05 ft for this motor.
Can I control it from an app or a voice assistant?
Yes. Add a Somfy TaHoma Switch (1871037) for app control, schedules and voice commands. For a set daily routine without a hub, the Telis 1 Chronis RTS timer (1805237) raises and lowers the shade at the times you choose.
Which crowns and drives fit?
Sonesse 40 and 400 Series hardware fits this motor. Options include the LS40 Crown and Drive Set (9012224) for 40mm round tube and the LS40 2 in Crown and Drive Set (9016352). Somfy rates the motor IP 44 and backs it with a 5-year warranty.
