That\u2019s right, we\u2019re finally launching our long-awaited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/smart-blinds\">Smart Blinds collection<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>We have now added over 100 new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/smart-blinds\">Smart Roller Blinds<\/a> to our collection, ready to help turn your home from \u201cjust a home\u201d into a smart home. Our new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/smart-blinds\">Smart Roller Blinds<\/a> are powered with top-of-the-line smart motors, giving you complete control of your home\u2019s blinds.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Our New Smart Motors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For our new range of Smart Roller Blinds, you\u2019ll have the choice between two different cutting-edge smart motors: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/motionblinds\">MotionBlinds motor<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/eve-motionblinds\">Eve MotionBlinds motor<\/a>. There are a few differences between the motor, but put simply, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/motionblinds\">standard MotionBlinds motor<\/a> is a nice jumping off point, whereas the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/eve-motionblinds\">Eve MotionBlinds motor<\/a> is the supercharged \u201cdo-it-all\u201d version, for all the smart home nerds!<\/p>\n<p>The main differences between these motors is how they can be controlled, so let\u2019s look at the differences below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/motionblinds\">MotionBlinds Motor<\/a> can be controlled via a Bluetooth App, allowing you to remotely control your shades with your mobile phone; with a \u2018one touch\u2019 pull cord on the motor itself; or with your existing smart home tech when you use the MotionBlinds bridging unit (sold separately)<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/eve-motionblinds\">Eve MotionBlinds Motor<\/a> on the other hand, can do everything the standard MotionBlinds motor can, but it is also compatible with all Apple smart home technology out of the gate; and can be controlled with other smart home systems when using a bridging unit (sold separately).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Our Smart Blinds vs Our Electric Blinds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve bought blinds from us before, you\u2019ll know that we also have a range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/electric-blinds\">remote-controlled electric roller blinds<\/a> and you may be wondering why we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/smart-blinds\">smart blinds<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/electric-blinds\">electric blinds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the big difference is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/electric-blinds\">our remote-controlled electric blinds<\/a> is operated by (you guessed it) a remote control rather than apps or any smart home tech. So our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/electric-blinds\">electric remote controlled blinds<\/a> are better suited for people without smart home tech in their homes, whereas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/smart-blinds\">our new smart blinds<\/a> are better suited to people who have a passion for smart home tech.<\/p>\n<p>Both our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/electric-blinds\">remote-controlled blinds<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/smart-blinds\">our new smart blinds<\/a> serve different purposes for different people so we will continue to sell our remote controlled shades as well as our smart blinds for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know the basics about<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/smart-blinds\"> our new smart blinds<\/a>, using both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/motionblinds\">MotionBlinds motors<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/eve-motionblinds\">Eve MotionBlinds motors<\/a>, why not head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/smart-blinds\">our Smart Blinds collection<\/a> here to begin your smart shades journey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future is now, with Smart Blinds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2459,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inspiration"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
