New Eve Blinds Collection smart shades with Matter and Apple Home support now available
The Eve Blinds Collection has arrived in Germany. The new offering allows you to customize smart blinds featuring the Eve MotionBlinds technology. This brings both Thread and Matter compatibility to the smart shades, allowing you to link them to your preferred smart home platform.
You can then remotely control the device from an iOS or Android device or by using voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant. Eve provides its own iOS app and integration with Apple Home for additional features like Adaptive Shading, technology for which the company recently won an award at R+T. This tool allows for the intelligent adjustment of the blinds based on the sun’s position. The shades can still be operated manually using a pull cord as a backup. The motor can be recharged via USB-C and the product comes with your choice of mounting brackets and covers. The possible dimensions of the motorized shades are 69.0 to 253.6 cm (~27.1 to 99.8-in) wide and 36.5 to 336.0 cm (~14.4 to 132.3-in) tall.
The blinds are offered in three fabric types: the semi-transparent Comfort Collection, blackout Comfort Collection and silver-coated Solar Collection with thermal insulating properties. The website notes that fabric samples are available free of charge. The customized Eve Blinds Collection range is now on sale in Germany with prices starting from €270 (~$300). The range is also expected to launch in the US.
