The developers of Smart Home Connected Devices Eve and the window covering specialist Coulisse announced the immediate availability of their new Apple HomeKit-supported blind opener in the form of the Eve MotionBlinds Motors this week. Eve MotionBlinds are the first connected blind and blind motors on the market that support thread and can be controlled with Apple iPhone or iPad with the latest iOS version.
“When adding window covering to your connected home, a future-proof choice is critical,” said Jerome Gackel, CEO of Eve Systems. “As a thread-capable accessory, Eve MotionBlinds can support Matter, the smart home standard of the future that is currently being developed by Google, Amazon, Apple and numerous IoT manufacturers.
With the integration of Thread, Coulisse and Eve have a head start on the future of the connected home that the blinds industry can expect, ”said Christiaan Roetgering, Owner and CEO of Coulisse. “Thanks to the Eve software, this new range of motors is a game changer on the market. The ease of installation and use is unmatched. It opens the way to make motorized blinds accessible to a wide audience and to be widely accepted as a product that brings joy and value to everyday life. “

“Eve and Coulisse are partnering to double the key feature of Coulisse MotionBlinds – ease of use. As the first motors on the market to support Thread, Eve MotionBlinds make installing motorized blinds much easier: just scan the HomeKit setup code with your iPhone. If there is a border router that is for HomeKit via Thread HomePod mini or the new Apple TV 4K, Eve MotionBlinds will automatically join the Thread network, providing responsiveness and reliability for a premium user experience. Like all Eve accessories, Eve MotionBlinds are designed to protect user privacy. Instead of relying on a cloud, data and intelligence are stored locally on the engine. “
Starting with custom roller blinds, Eve MotionBlinds is currently available at SelectBlinds.com (US), abcblinds.com.au (AU), OmniaBlinds.com, Sonevo.de and Smartblinds.com (EU). For Eve, who already offers the largest portfolio of thread-enabled HomeKit accessories today, the addition of Eve MotionBlinds as the tenth product to feature this technology marks a major milestone in the company’s commitment to thread its line of low-power products.
