The timers are programmed into the motor, which means they continue to work automatically even when you are away from home. For example: Set your blinds to open at 8am on weekdays. Open 30 percent at 9am on Saturday and Sunday. Close every day at 7pm. Yes – up to 5 family members can control the blinds using the same settings.
