These motors are typically powered by a plug-in power source or a low-voltage hardwired connection, however  battery powered window shades are a helpful options when the there is not easy access to an outlet or other electrical. The shades can be controlled via a remote, a wall switch, a smartphone app, or a smart home system, giving you a range of options for operation.
