Abstract: Motorized window treatment systems are disclosed. A motorized window treatment system may include a covering material, a sensor circuit, and a control circuit. The sensor circuit may be configured to generate sensor signals indicative of a position of the covering material. The control circuit may be configured to determine a present sensor state of the sensor circuit, determine a predicted sensor state for the sensor circuit based at least in part on a power-down position recorded at a first time and a final position recorded at a second time, compare the predicted sensor state with the present sensor state, and determine a present position of the covering material based on the comparison of the predicted sensor state and the present sensor state. Methods of adjusting a position of a covering material of a motorized window treatment also are disclosed.

Abstract: A motorized window treatment system is provided for moving a covering material (e.g., a shade fabric). The motorized window treatment system includes a motor drive circuit configured to generate signals that cause a motor to change a position of the covering material. A sensor circuit is provided to generate one or more sensor signals indicative of the position of the covering material. The motorized window treatment system further includes a control circuit coupled to the sensor circuit to receive the one or more sensor signals. The control circuit is configured to detect a power-down event when a supply voltage is equal to or less than a threshold value, and stores a power-down position and one or more power-down sensor states. The control circuit is configured to determine a present position based on the stored power-down position and the one or more power-down sensor states.

Abstract: A motorized window treatment includes a motor drive unit having a motor and a covering material having a first end in a fixed position and a second end movable along a first axis. The covering material is configured to be extended along a first axis when the motor is operated in a first direction and retraced along the first axis when the motor is operated in a second direction. A hembar is coupled to the second end of the covering material. At least one state sensing circuit is coupled to the hembar and is configured to generate at least one first signal. A control circuit is configured to determine a present state of the hembar based on the at least one first signal. The motor drive unit is configured to control the motor when the present state of the hembar and an expected state of the hembar are different.
