Smart homeHow do I set up my motorised blinds with the Eve app, Apple HomeKit, or Android?
It depends which motor system is fitted to your blinds. C&BCo motorised blinds use one of three: Acmeda/Automate, Motionblinds Matter, or Motionblinds Bluetooth, and each connects a little differently. Once your blinds are installed and powered, follow the path for your motor below.
Smart-home setup runs through the motor's own system, so the first step is knowing which motor is fitted to your blinds. This is set when you order. There are three.
Acmeda / Automate
These motors work with Apple HomeKit and Eve, along with other smart-home apps, through a hub. Add the hub to your network, pair the blinds to it in the Automate app, then bring them into HomeKit or Eve.
Motionblinds Matter
These connect directly to the blind over Thread, using a Thread border router, with no separate hub. Because they're Matter devices, HomeKit and Eve support is built in once the blind is added to your smart-home app.
Motionblinds Bluetooth
These pair over Bluetooth using the Motionblinds app on your phone.
If pairing won't complete
- Confirm the blind is powered and the motor is awake.
- Check you're following the path for your motor system.
- Look for a firmware update in the motor's app.
- Restart the pairing from the beginning if a step times out.
