Common questions
What does this crown and drive kit do?
Part 9025816 adapts Somfy R28 motors to Hunter Douglas Silhouette shade tubes. The crown and drive pass motor rotation to the tube, so you can motorize a Silhouette shade with Somfy.
Which motors does it fit?
Somfy lists it for Roll Up 28, Sonesse 28 and Roll Up Wired R28 motors. Examples here include the Roll Up 28 WireFree RTS V2 (1241162), the Sonesse Ultra R28 Li-ion Motor (1003297) and the Roll Up Wired R28 Pin Mount (1002832).
Which Silhouette tubes does it fit?
This kit matches the post-2004 Silhouette tube style, marked Post 04 in the title. Confirm the tube style on your shade before you order, since the drive must match the tube profile.
Can I use a Zigbee motor with it?
Yes. Somfy lists Sonesse 28 WireFree Zigbee motors among the compatible models, such as the Sonesse 28 Zigbee 12V Rechargeable Li-ion Motor (1241755). Pair it with a TaHoma Switch hub (1871037) for app control.
What else do I need for a WireFree install?
Battery-powered R28 motors need a way to charge or power them. Depending on the motor, options here include the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack (9021217) and the WireFree Li-ion Plug-in Charger (9025166). Check the motor page for its power options.
