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.
