Eve and Coulisse Announce Eve MotionBlinds Motors with Apple HomeKit Support

Eve and window coverings specialist Coulisse have announced the immediate availability of Eve MotionBlinds, the first connected blinds and shades motors in the market to support Apple HomeKit over Thread.

The first motors in the market to support Thread, Eve MotionBlinds drastically simplify installation of motorized blinds: Simply scan the HomeKit setup code with your iPhone. If a Border Router is present, which for HomeKit over Thread is HomePod mini or the new Apple TV 4K, Eve MotionBlinds will join the Thread network automatically, adding responsiveness and reliability for a best-in-class user experience. Just like any Eve accessory, Eve MotionBlinds are designed to safeguard user privacy. Instead of relying on a cloud, data and intelligence are stored locally on the motor.

Features:
● Rechargeable (USB-C) battery powered motor
● Easy setup by scanning HomeKit setup code, no gateway or bridge required
● On-device schedules put blinds on autopilot, independently of iPhone or home network
● Supports Bluetooth and Thread
● Interacts with other HomeKit-accessories to create a smart and safe ecosystem
● 100% Privacy: Local intelligence and direct communication without cloud dependency
● Manual control with just a simple pull, a valuable add-on to smart automation
