Eve Motionblinds Upgrade Kit: New Retrofit Motor for Smaller Roller Blind Sizes
Munich, February 3, 2026 – Eve, a leading provider of smart home devices and part of ABB, today announced a second motor option for Eve Motionblinds Upgrade Kit that supports smaller tube diameters. Using the included adapter set, the new motor can be inserted into roller blind tubes with an outer diameter of 25–30 mm (1-1.2") and a minimum width of 57 cm (22"). This represents a major leap forward in compatibility for the Eve Motionblinds Upgrade Kit, particularly in the mainstream segment, enabling even more households to motorize their existing blinds effortlessly and sustainably. Compared to a new purchase, Eve Motionblinds Upgrade Kit reduces costs, minimizes waste and remains future-proof thanks to Matter and Thread technology.
Eve Motionblinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds – Motor for Small Tube Diameters is now available for 149.95 euros from Eve, Amazon, and specialist retailers.
"Regardless of whether your roller blind is used for privacy, sun protection, or interior design, motorizing and automating it with Eve Motionblinds Upgrade Kit enhances your entire living atmosphere," explains Benjamin Wilms, Product Line Leader Home Automation at ABB. "Sustainability, energy efficiency, and modern technology come together here, making the Eve Motionblinds Upgrade Kit a forward-looking and rightly award-winning solution."
Smart upgrade, minimal effort
Eve Motionblinds Upgrade Kit makes it easy to motorize existing roller blinds sustainably, without any wiring or specialist knowledge. The kit includes brackets, covers, and an adapter set for attaching the motor to the tubes of numerous roller blind brands. Just use the Matter QR setup code to add the motor to your home and enjoy the convenience of smart shading. In the Eve app for iPhone and iPad or the native app of your preferred Matter platform, you can create schedules or automations—for example, to open or close the blinds at sunrise and sunset or depending on presence. Using the Eve app or manual controls on the device itself, you can set upper, lower, and favorite positions. The Eve app for iPhone and iPad also offers "Adaptive Shading", which controls the roller blind depending on the position of the sun, for example, to prevent rooms from overheating, thereby ensuring greater energy efficiency and increased living comfort. The motor is charged via a USB-C cable, and the integrated battery offers a runtime of up to one year with typical use.

About Thread
Thread technology is specifically developed for smart home applications to improve connectivity between devices. Thread creates a mesh network, within which lights, thermostats, outlets, sensors, and more can also talk to each other free of the constraint of having to go through a bridge. If a single device fails, the data packets are simply relayed to the next in the mesh. In short, the network becomes more robust with every additional Thread device. Mains-powered Thread devices that are always on, such as Eve Dimmer Switch, can act as router nodes within the Thread network and relay data packets. So, the more Full Thread Devices present in the network, the more stable and greater its reach becomes. Learn more.
