Unresolved window dressings rely on manual cords and chains that clutter the visual space and require daily effort. Thorq motorisation, engineered by Dooya, bypasses these outdated mechanics to deliver precise, automated control over your bespoke window architecture
Integrating discreetly into made-to-measure Pleated and Honeycell® Absolute systems, Thorq ensures a strictly architectural finish with absolutely zero visible cords
Whether operating a single unit or synchronising a sequence across expansive glazing, the system executes your exact lighting and privacy requirements seamlessly.
Thorq motorisation, engineered by Dooya, delivers precise, automated control over bespoke window architecture. As an entry-level motorisation solution, it offers a reliable and affordable alternative for straightforward installations requiring basic remote functionality without a premium price tag. The system completely replaces traditional manual operation with quiet, smooth motorised movement. Integration is seamless across made-to-measure products, specifically Pleated blinds and Honeycell Absolute systems.
Operating mechanisms are entirely cord-free, establishing absolute child safety by design. The architecture connects to existing smart home infrastructure, such as Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant, through the installation of a compatible smart hub like the Thorq Smart Controller Hub. This enabling technology allows for remote and voice-activated deployment across the property.
The system offers flexible power delivery, utilising either wire-free, USB-rechargeable battery motors or permanent hardwired connections depending on the exact specification. Under standard operating conditions, a single USB-C charge sustains the battery motor for six to twelve months. To further enhance functionality, users can implement automated scheduling via timers or environmental sensors to synchronise blind adjustments with sunrise or sunset without human input.
Thorq motors integrated into Honeycell Absolute systems operate strictly in a Bottom-Up configuration. This specific architectural orientation ensures that the motorised mechanism effectively lifts the blind material from the base, providing a clean and consistent aesthetic for honeycomb structures.
Voice and application control via Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant requires the installation of a compatible smart hub, such as the Thorq Smart Controller Hub. Once this enabling technology is deployed, it bridges the motorisation system with existing smart home infrastructure, allowing for global smartphone control and the execution of voice-activated commands.
Power delivery utilises wire-free, USB-rechargeable battery motors or permanent hardwired connections, determined by the exact specification of the installation. For projects requiring a clean finish without visible wiring, the lithium-ion battery motor is the standard choice, while hardwired solutions are available for continuous power without recharging requirements.
Under standard operation, a single USB-C charge sustains the battery motor for six to twelve months. This high-capacity performance ensures minimal maintenance, requiring only an occasional recharge to maintain full functionality of the automated window coverings.
The motorisation architecture must be integrated during the initial manufacturing process of the bespoke Pleated or Honeycell Absolute systems. Because the motors are engineered directly into the blind hardware, this system cannot be retrofitted to existing manual blinds, ensuring a seamless and reliable integration from the point of production.
It is a dedicated motorisation architecture powered by Dooya, engineered for bespoke window blinds
Yes. Connection to smart speakers and mobile applications requires an integrated smart hub
Yes. The absence of operating cords and chains renders the system inherently safe for children and pets
Thorq integrates with multiple made-to-measure products, specifically Pleated blinds and Honeycell Absolute systems
No. Wire-free, USB-rechargeable battery motors negate the need for complex electrical installation
Under standard operation, a single charge sustains the battery motor for 6 to 12 months
Yes. Multiple Thorq units can be synchronised to a single remote control or smart home routine
No. The motorisation architecture must be integrated during the initial manufacturing process
Deploy a dedicated smart home hub, The installation of a dedicated smart home hub, such as the Thorq Smart Controller Hub, serves as the critical enabling technology for advanced system functionality. By bridging the gap between the motorisation hardware and your home network, this hub enables complete integration with voice assistants like Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. Once deployed, users gain global smartphone control via compatible applications, allowing for the remote operation of window coverings from any location.
Implement automated scheduling,Beyond manual remote control, the system allows you to utilise timers or environmental sensors to execute blind adjustments without human input. This automation can be configured to synchronise operation with natural cycles, such as sunrise or sunset, ensuring your home environment adapts to changing light conditions automatically. These schedules are managed through the smart hub infrastructure, providing a sophisticated layer of convenience and energy efficiency.
Execute linked operation,For properties with expansive glazing, you can synchronise multiple Thorq-powered systems within a single zone for simultaneous, uniform deployment. This linked operation ensures that all motorised units move in perfect harmony, maintaining a consistent aesthetic across wide expanses of glass while eliminating the need to operate each blind individually. This feature is particularly effective when integrated with the Thorq Smart Controller Hub, allowing for group commands that transform the lighting of an entire room with a single touch or voice instruction.
