3 Things to Know Before You Buy
🏷️

Most branded motors are secretly Dooya. Many window treatment brands buy motors from Dooya and apply their own label. If your motorised system isn't explicitly branded Dooya, the internals almost certainly are.

🧮

Smart home brands run on Dooya hardware. Xiaomi (Aqara) and Tuya have deep manufacturing ties with Dooya. Physical motor assemblies in these devices often originate from Dooya factories, even when the software is proprietary.

🤑

Budget-friendly without compromise. You can motorise 3–4 windows with Dooya for the price of a single Somfy motor — same corporate lineage, same engineering origin, dramatically different price point.

⚖️

Bottom line: Somfy and Dooya are not competitors — they are the same corporate family serving different price tiers. Choosing Dooya is choosing a product backed by the same engineering standards, quality controls, and global network as Somfy, at a fraction of the cost.
