Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds is now available

Eve has launched the MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds in European countries, including the Netherlands and France. The gadget can convert your existing blinds into smart ones, compatible with Apple HomeKit. You can control the updated blinds with Siri voice commands or set schedules to open or close them at specific times.

Alternatively, you could set a schedule for the Eve smart roller blinds, adjusting the position of the blind at various points in the day. With Bluetooth and Thread connectivity, you can set scenes to trigger multiple smart home products at once. For example, a “good night” voice command could close the blinds and turn off linked smart lights. To install the smart blind converter kit, you need to replace the existing mechanism in your blind, sliding a motor inside the tube.

The gadget is compatible with a tube outer measuring from 1.5 to 2-in (~38 to 51 mm) and at least 26.75-in (680 mm) long. You also need to replace the mounting brackets. The device is powered by an integrated battery which you can recharge via USB-C. You can buy the Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds in countries such as the Netherlands, Sweden, and France for €199.95 (~US$213). The gadget will launch in the US on  March 28 for $199.95.
