The World’s First PoE Matter over Ethernet Motor
SmartWings PoE Matter over Ethernet Motorized Shades provide a convenient and modern solution for window coverings, utilizing Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. These motors combine power and data transfer through a single PoE LAN cable, eliminating the need for separate electrical wiring or battery replacements. PoE motorized blinds simplify installation, reduce costs, and ensure continuous and reliable operation, making them an excellent choice for new construction and retrofit projects in homes and commercial buildings.
Unlike traditional wired or battery-operated shades, Matter over Ethernet blinds offer enhanced flexibility in installation and operation. They don't require electrical outlets near the windows or frequent battery changes. Power via Ethernet allows for centralized power and control, enabling easy operation from any location and providing users with a seamless smart home experience.
Highlights
Power and Data in One Cable
This innovative technology combines both power and data in a single Ethernet cable, streamlining installation and reducing costs, especially in retrofit projects. With power through Ethernet, cables stay discreetly hidden for a clean, modern look. Even during power outages, Ethernet via power ensures uninterrupted operation, providing continuous convenience and peace of mind.
Effortless Smart Integration
Built on Matter technology, this groundbreaking motor enables efficient data communication and rapid command execution for faster response times. Compatible with various smart home platforms, you can manage your Matter over Ethernet shades via a smartphone app, receive real-time updates on shade positioning, and enjoy data backup for precise light and privacy control. Adjust your shades easily from anywhere.
Cost and Energy Savings
Ethernet-powered motorized blinds provide a cost-effective alternative to hardwired AC or DC systems by eliminating the need for nearby electrical outlets. Their single-cable setup reduces installation time and costs while delivering energy savings through low-voltage power. Unlike hardwired systems that require licensed electricians, PoE smart blinds only need Ethernet cables, making installation much more convenient.
Durability with Reliable Power
These cutting-edge units offer greater durability than battery-operated alternatives, reducing maintenance needs and eliminating recharging hassles. With a continuous power source, PoE roller shades ensure consistent, reliable performance, especially for large or heavy blinds that demand steady power.
Safe & Streamlined
SmartWings PoE-powered blinds offer a seamless blend of safety, convenience, and innovation. The cord-free design ensures a family-friendly, modern aesthetic, while integrated dual-control functionality—combining 433.92 MHz remote and Ethernet-based operation—streamlines use. This all-in-one solution delivers enhanced safety, style, and functionality for an exceptional experience.
Quiet Operation for Comfort
Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems are designed for low-noise performance, making them ideal for quiet spaces like offices and homes where sound reduction is essential. These motors ensure smooth, silent operation, maintaining a peaceful environment while delivering efficient control.
PoE Wiring Method
Connect the Ethernet port from the blind cable (Powered PoE Device) to one end of the CAT 6A Inline Coupler, and the Ethernet port from the PoE Switch (PSE, Endspan) to the other end.
Compatible Smart Home Systems with PoE Matter over Ethernet
To control your PoE motorized shades through a smart home system, you have two options, each requiring different devices/hubs.
Option 1:
The shades can connect directly through Matter technology to popular ecosystems like Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant, to recognize and connect the device setup requires a compatible Matter hub for the device to be recognized and connected.
