Description
If you’re ordering a motorised Cerberus Standard or Cerberus Plus Louvre System, you can now upgrade to full Tuya Smart App Control. This powerful upgrade brings phone-based automation to your outdoor space, allowing you to control your louvre roof and motorised Track Blinds directly from your mobile device.
The result: a smarter, more connected outdoor system — ideal for New Zealand and Pacific Island environments.
And to make your smart setup even easier, Apollo NZ now offers the Cerberus System Tuya Tablet, a compact control device that can run the Tuya app and serve as your dedicated outdoor smart home hub.
How the Tuya Smart App Upgrade Works
If your louvre motor or blind motor is Tuya-compatible — or fitted with a Tuya shutter actuator or smart motor module — the Tuya app gives you full remote control using Wi-Fi and cloud connectivity.
With Tuya, you can instantly:
Open and close the louvre roof
Tilt and adjust louvre blade positions
Raise, lower, or set exact positions for motorised Track Blinds
Operate your system from anywhere, even off-site
Everything is handled through one unified app that keeps your Cerberus System connected and responsive.
What You Can Control With Tuya Smart Automation
Once added to your Cerberus System, the Tuya module allows you to manage:
Motorised Louvre Roof
Motorised Track Blinds
Future smart accessories as Tuya expands its smart-home ecosystem
This gives you a future-proof control system designed to grow with your outdoor space.
Automation, Schedules & Timers
Tuya’s automation features let your Cerberus System run itself. Create routines such as:
Automatic blind opening at sunrise
Automatic blind closing at sunset
Scheduled closing of the louvre roof before evening moisture or dew
Timed routines for commercial outdoor areas
Daily schedules for rental properties, baches, cafés, and holiday homes
This is especially valuable for remote properties, coastal homes, and commercial outdoor spaces.
Voice Control Integration
If your environment supports it, Tuya can integrate with:
Amazon Alexa
Google Assistant
Use simple voice commands:
“Alexa, close the louvres.”
“Hey Google, lower the outdoor blinds.”
This brings hands-free convenience to your modern outdoor living area.
