Eve MotionBlinds is named “CES 2023 Innovation Award Honoree” in the smart home category for its Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds.

The pioneering smart window covering brand from Dutch company Coulisse will celebrate with new Matter firmware updates in Q1 this year to make Eve MotionBlinds the first smart blinds motors on the market to use Matter-over-Thread. Following the introduction of Eve MotionBlinds a year ago, these innovations mark another breakthrough in smart window coverings.


TECH PIONEERS: COULISSE AND EVE SYSTEMS

Dutch window covering specialist Coulisse launched Eve MotionBlinds a year ago in collaboration with German smart home specialist Eve Systems to expand MotionBlinds, Coulisse's leading concept in the market for smart window coverings. Seeing the gap in the market, the two companies put their designer and engineers together to create the first-ever smart window covering motors that support the latest smart home technologies Thread and Matter and work seamlessly in any smart home. Smart shading increases comfort, enhances security and helps save energy, making it an essential smart home product category.


“We are extremely proud to be the first company in the world to integrate Matter-over-Thread technology into motorized blinds,” says Christiaan Roetgering,Founder and Owner of Coulisse. “This allows our products to work seamlessly with other devices that support the universal smart home standard Matter, which is being developed jointly by Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung, and others. Being honored with an award is a major recognition of our forward-thinking developments in smart window coverings.”


Coulisse is presented with the innovation award for its Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, the world's most influential tech event taking place from January 5-8. Eve MotionBlinds joins other CES 2023 innovation award honorees including Samsung, Sony, LG and Microsoft.


Celebrating thirty years in the window covering industry, Coulisse is known for its design, creativity and innovation. Having entered the smart home technology market with MotionBlinds in 2018, the company is now taking the next step to become the global leader in smart window coverings.
