The eve homekit blinds motor is used by OmniaBlinds, a smart blinds manufacturer from Sweden that makes and sells custom-made smart motorized shades all over the world with stylish designs and premium quality fabrics.

Ignore the little bit of blind kinking at the bottom right, as I had the right metal foot a little too tight initially. A few up and down rolls of the shade worked that area flat again. Yes and No. All motorized shades available at OmniaBlinds.com are powered by Eve MotionBlinds motors with Apple HomeKit technology. Therefore they integrate with HomeKit without the need for a hub or bridge. That said, they are not HomeKit blinds as they are not built by Apple. The motors are built by Eve and Coulisse and used by OmniaBlinds which makes and sells custom-made smart shades with the Eve MotionBlinds motors. Even before working directly in Information Technology, Josh had a passion for technology. He rooted Android phones and flashed custom ROMs on them; gamed on all major consoles and with his PCs; and built his own computers. Then reset the Eve core by holding down the programming button on the motor for 10 seconds. The LED will flash red 5 times. For items like the Eve Motion Sensor or Eve Smart Outlet with Thread, it’s easy to put the devices through a full review cycle like unboxing, adding to your HomeKit environment, using in combination other accessories, and testing automations. On the other hand, a product like Eve’s Motion Blinds is obviously a much bigger project. Every window in a home is usually a custom size, and changing out blinds is not an easy process. In fact, if you’re in the US, your local Lowes or Home Depot offers Blind installation that is well worth the price if you’re buying a whole house at once.If you want to retrofit the Eve shades motor to motorize your existing blinds and shades your blinds need the exact same dimensions on the tube as we use. That said it is not likely that you are able to motorize your existing shades with Eve MotionBlinds.

No gateway or smart bridge is required for installation, the smart roller shades with Apple Homekit blinds technology connect via Bluetooth. The new eve shade motor is available to Coulisse retailers and manufacturers to use for the roller shades that they are building and selling to their customers.Both companies have started to collaborate to create an eve smart blinds motor that will change how we control our blinds in the future. The result is Eve Blinds - made to measure - with Apple HomeKit technology, built on Thread and ready for the future smart home standard Matter. There are a few more setup steps that require the Eve app. However, I can understand why that is. And it only takes a minute or two. Turn off the motor by activating transport mode. Hold down the programming button and briefly pull the cord 2 times. The LED light will briefly flash red. The motor has been turned off. You first activate the blinds by plugging in the included 3-meter USB cable into them. You also use this port to recharge the blinds. Eve hasn’t said how long the battery lasts and I’d recommend using a portable phone charging battery to move from blind to blind when recharging. Attaching the other end of the cable to a power source turns the blinds on, as indicated by a little green LED. Presumably, you’d activate the blinds first and then install them over a window.
