Abstract:
A method of operating a motorized window covering is presented wherein in response to a standard movement command power is supplied to a motor in a continuous or generally continuous manner thereby moving the shade material from a start position to an end position in a generally continuous manner. However, in doing so, the motor rotates at a fast rate thereby causing elevated noise levels. In response to an automated movement command, power is supplied to the motor by cycling power to the motor between a powered state and an unpowered state thereby moving the shade material from a start position to an end position in an incremental manner. While moving the shade material in this incremental manner is slower, it is substantially quieter. The preferred mode of operation is selected based on whether the movement command is a standard movement command or an automated movement command.

Claim (Index 1):
A system of controlling a plurality of window shades, the system comprising:\n a plurality of window shades; the plurality of window shades having shade material; the plurality of window shades having a motor and motor controller operatively connected to the window shade and configured to move the shade material between an open position and a closed position; the plurality of window shades having a light sensor operatively connected to the motor controller; the plurality of window shades having a temperature sensor operatively connected to the motor controller; the plurality of window shades having a first switch, the first switch configured to operatively control the light sensor; the plurality of window shades having a second switch, the second switch configured to operatively control the temperature sensor; wherein the plurality of window shades are grouped together in a group such that when a temperature threshold as sensed by a temperature sensor of one of the plurality of window shades is exceeded the plurality of window shades open or close; wherein the plurality of window shades are grouped together in a group such that when a light threshold as sensed by a light sensor of one of the plurality of window shades is exceeded the plurality of window shades open or close.
