Dendo Systems plans to introduce a Power over Ethernet drapery motor at CEDIA Expo.

The Australian manufacturer said the new motor is part of the company’s broader RENKEI Platform, which brings direct Ethernet power, control and real-time position feedback to motorized roller shades and draperies.

According to Dendo Systems, the RENKEI Platform combines network-native PoE roller-shade and curtain motors with the RENKEI Processor, which simplifies motor discovery, limit setting, grouping in addition to providing an open API that enables easy integration with third-party automation systems.

Each motor connects directly to standard Ethernet and PoE infrastructure. An internal energy buffer keeps the required PoE budget to 3 watts per motor while supporting synchronized control and real-time position feedback.

Dendo Systems said visitors to booth 3246 at CEDIA Expo will experience a RENKEI PoE motor get plugged in, automatically appear in the commissioning interface, and then get configured, grouped and controlled live.

“We believe that CEDIA Expo is the perfect setting for Dendo Systems as it brings together the integrators, technology partners, and manufacturers for whom our RENKEI Platform was specifically developed,” said Yi Liu, director of Dendo Systems.

“Our primary goal is to introduce our brand and gather direct feedback to best build the support and distribution structure required for the market.”
