Somfy Orea 60 RTS 85/17 tubular motor used & refurbished | radio-controlled | awning
Somfy Sunea & Orea – radio-controlled tubular motor (used & refurbished | tested)
“I am the motor that thinks wirelessly – whether by hand, app or sun: I move your awning precisely, quietly and reliably.”
I offer you used Somfy Sunea and Orea radio tubular motors - two of the most commonly used radio drives for awnings and sun protection systems.
These motors combine comfort, precision and safety in a wireless form:
The Somfy Orea RTS uses the proven RTS radio technology (Radio Technology Somfy), while the Somfy Sunea io is based on the modern io-homecontrol® platform and is therefore smart home compatible.
Both motors are suitable for awnings of all types - from open folding arm to closed cassette awnings - and ensure precise, even movement with very quiet running.
Thanks to integrated sensor compatibility (wind, sun and rain sensors), they enable automatic adaptation to weather conditions and thus reliably protect the fabric and mechanics.
Inspection and refurbishment in the specialist workshop
- Function and running performance
- Mechanical limit switch and direction of rotation
- Electrical safety according to GPSR
- Condition of the connecting cable and the mechanical coupling
Wearing parts are replaced if necessary so that the motor is technically tested and ready for use again immediately.
Area of application: radio-controlled awnings & smart home systems
The Somfy Sunea and Orea series cover the entire spectrum of modern radio technology:
- Somfy Orea RTS – classic RTS radio control (unidirectional):
Proven one-way communication, easy to set up, low-interference and ideal for manually controlled awning systems with radio handheld transmitters or wall switches. - Somfy Sunea io – modern io-homecontrol® technology (bidirectional):
Sends and receives radio signals and can report the status back to smart home systems such as Somfy TaHoma, Connexoon or Fritz!Box io.
Ideal for automated processes, time programs and sensor-controlled awning controls.
Both variants work with antennas that are invisibly integrated into the motor housing, making them particularly insensitive to interference and weather influences.
Sustainability meets safety
By professionally preparing them, I extend the lifespan of these high-quality radio drives - a sustainable alternative to buying new.
All motors offered are tested according to GPSR and meet the current requirements for safety and function.
Each radio motor comes from trustworthy sources or from my own inventory and is only passed on after a successful functional test.
Additional notes
- The images shown in the listing are for reference purposes only. Nameplates or housing details may vary as Somfy has changed series markings over the years. The exact motor type is always stated in the respective variant description.
- The motors are offered without accessories as standard. If you need bearings, adapters or connection cables, you can order them separately in the shop - if available - or ask me.
- Cable types:
Newer models have a pluggable connection cable.
Older versions usually have a permanently installed, sufficiently long connection cable. - An instruction manual is usually provided after purchase.
Legal certainty and quality
- Tested according to EU Safety Regulation (GPSR)
- Sales tax: differential taxation in accordance with Section 25a UStG (no VAT certificate)
- Warranty: 1 year by Smart Home Thomas Reh
- Island shipping: Flat rate surcharge of €27 for deliveries to the following European islands: Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores, Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Greek islands and German North/Baltic Sea islands.
- Note on revocation: The used and refurbished components offered have been tested and are functional. A test of the condition and function is only possible when it is not assembled. If the goods are assembled, put into operation or if an attached security label is damaged or removed, this is considered to be use beyond the handling required for testing. In these cases, in the event of a revocation, an appropriate reduction in value may occur in accordance with Section 357 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
- Regular expansion: I continually receive new used Somfy radio drives, which are added to the shop after checking.

Adjustment and reset cable rental for motors
Resetting a tubular motor and setting the limit positions – optional adjustment cable rental
To restore the factory settings or readjust the limit positions, many 230 V tubular motors may require an adjustment cable. This is particularly useful when the reset sequence has to be activated at the circuit breaker (fuse) and the motor is neither visible nor within hearing distance.
Many drives confirm the reset with a clicking sound or a brief movement of the motor. A universal adjustment and reset cable available for rental lets you carry out commissioning or resetting in a more controlled manner without repeatedly moving between the motor and the fuse box.
The rental cable is not included with this motor offer, but can be ordered separately from the shop, subject to availability.
