Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds launches in new region
The Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds is now available in Australia. The gadget launched last February in the EU and arrived in the US shortly after. The device is designed to convert regular blinds into smart blinds.
The MotionBlinds motor is Matter compatible, meaning you can link the device to various smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Google Home. It is worth noting that customers need to install a free firmware upgrade to enable this feature. The update also brings a new Adaptive Shading tool, intelligently adjusting the position of the blind based on the sun and the window's orientation. However, it appears that this feature is only available for iOS devices.
Other existing features include autonomous scheduling, voice commands and scenes combining various smart home gadgets. The MotionBlinds motor is wireless, with integrated battery recharging via USB-C. The kit is compatible with a blind tube outer measuring between 1.5 and 2-inch (~38 to 51 mm), which must be at least 26.75-in (~680 mm) long. You can buy the Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds in Australia for $A319.95. The product retails in Europe and North America for $199.95/€199.95/£179.95.
