Coulisse recently presented MotionBlinds smart technology at CEDIA Expo 2023 in Denver. "This new must-have conquers the smart home world with the most future-proof and connected motors for blinds that support the latest smart home technologies," said Bas Klein Tuente, Manager of Engineering at Coulisse. After being named a CES 2023 Innovation Award Honoree in Las Vegas earlier this year, Coulisse's first participation in the CEDIA Expo is the next strategic move to showcase MotionBlinds for window coverings to pioneers in the rapidly evolving smart home market.
"As the market leader in window coverings, we are poised to conquer the smart home world," said Bas Klein Tuente, Manager of Engineering at Coulisse. "With the advent of trends such as smart home connectivity, security, energy saving, well-being and productivity, it is clear that window coverings have enormous potential to contribute positively to this. The smart window coverings market is seen as the next gamechanger that is going to revolutionize households and buildings around the world."
Coulisse is partnering with smart home specialist Eve Systems to further expand MotionBlinds' technology. Z&R previously reported on this. The two companies have been the first to develop smart window covering motors that support the latest smart home technologies Thread and Matter, offering plug-and-play interoperability and platform independence. Eve MotionBlinds' motors work with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings, without the need to install a proprietary bridge. Furthermore, they work with other smart devices such as thermostats, lights, window sensors and security cameras to create the ultimate smart home living environment.
"MotionBlinds' motors are designed to be seamlessly integrated into window covering systems," Klein Tuente said. "They feature physical buttons for easy installation and programming, without the use of remote controls."
Window coverings equipped with MotionBlinds' smart technology are distributed through a network of manufacturers and their dealers. All dealers and retailers can be found by using the special search function on motionblinds.com.
