Somfy Altus – Radio Tubular Motor (used & refurbished | tested)
“I am the motor that adapts to any situation – sun, wind or shade – wireless, intelligent and reliable.”
I offer used Somfy Altus radio tubular motors – the universal radio drive for awnings and roller shutters.
The Altus series combines proven RTS radio technology (Radio Technology Somfy) with the modern io-homecontrol® version, making it flexible for integration into existing installations or smart home systems.
Thanks to the integrated radio technology, the motors can be controlled wirelessly – via remote control, wall transmitter or centrally through smart home hubs such as Somfy TaHoma or Connexoon.
The motors ensure a secure connection to the corresponding sensors – e.g. wind sensors, sun sensors or weather systems – enabling automated and energy-efficient operation of awnings and roller shutters.
Somfy is considered one of Europe’s most experienced radio drive manufacturers and has delivered reliable wireless technology for more than two decades – culminating in the Altus series.

Inspection and refurbishment in a certified workshop

Functional behaviour and running performance
Mechanical end limit and rotation direction

Worn parts are replaced if necessary, ensuring that the motor is technically tested and immediately ready for use.

Application: Awnings & roller shutters with radio control
The Somfy Altus is the all-round solution among radio motors – suitable for awnings, roller shutters, front-mounted boxes and complete shutter systems.

RTS (Radio Technology Somfy): proven unidirectional technology with high range and stable radio transmission – ideal for retrofit installations and classic radio control.
io-homecontrol®: modern bidirectional radio technology with status feedback – ideal for smart home integration, automation scenarios and app control.

Both radio technologies guarantee a stable connection to sensors for sun, wind or weather protection.
This ensures that awnings retract automatically in strong winds or roller shutters close when sunlight increases.
The Altus provides convenient, energy-efficient control – without visible antennas and without complex cabling.

Sustainability meets safety
Through professional refurbishment, I extend the service life of these high-quality radio motors – a sustainable alternative to purchasing new equipment.
All motors are tested according to GPSR and comply with current safety and performance standards.
Each radio motor comes from trusted sources or my own stock and is only sold after successful inspection.
