Eve Home has expanded its Eve MotionBlinds lineup with a new Upgrade Kit for smaller diameter Roller Blind tubes that brings smart control to existing, non smart window coverings. Like the larger versions, they are Matter over Thread and that means they work with Apple Home
The Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit is built for roller blinds that use small diameter tubes. It fits tubes with an outer diameter of 25 to 30 mm and slides directly into the blind tube itself, replacing the traditional chain mechanism. The result is a clean, integrated installation that preserves the look of your existing blinds while adding full smart functionality behind the scenes.
This approach is clearly aimed at homeowners who want smart blinds without the cost and waste of a full replacement. If your current roller blinds are in good condition, the upgrade kit lets you keep the fabric, fittings, and overall design while modernising how they operate.
Matter and Thread at the core
Like the rest of the Eve MotionBlinds family, the upgrade kit is built around Matter over Thread. That means local control, fast response times, and no reliance on a proprietary cloud to function day to day.
Once installed, the blinds can be controlled using Home App, Siri voice comments, and automations. You can schedule them to open in the morning, close automatically in the evening, or react to scenes designed around comfort and energy efficiency. Because everything runs locally over Thread, automations continue to work even if your internet connection goes down.
Availability
The Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds is launching first in Europe, with availability in the United States and Canada planned for later. For anyone already invested in Apple Home or building a Matter based smart home, this is a compelling option that lowers the barrier to entry for smart blinds while keeping sustainability firmly in focus.
