CES 2026: Motionblinds introduces Absolute Silence in Smart Shading

LAS VEGAS, NV – JANUARY 5, 2026 – Motionblinds, the smart shading brand of Coulisse, is redefining acoustic comfort in smart shading with the launch of Absolute Silence, a breakthrough in motorized blinds eliminating noise at its source. More than a motor upgrade, Absolute Silence is a complete system rethink, combining quieter motors, silencing patented hardware, and smart software into one seamless solution for spaces that require tranquility. 

Absolute Silence: Redefining Acoustic Comfort 

Building on Motionblinds’ commitment to innovation, the Absolute Silence concept introduces a new standard for quiet performance in smart shading. Through advanced motor engineering, vibration isolation, and precision-fit components, Motionblinds minimizes operational noise to levels that blend seamlessly into the background of modern interiors where calm truly matters. From bedrooms and nurseries to home offices, hotels, and wellness spaces.  

Key highlights include:

 
- Acoustically tuned motors that reduce high-frequency sound peaks.
- Patented precision-fit components to absorb vibrations at the source.
- Optimized speed control to balance performance and comfort.
- Soft start/stop technology for smooth, click-free motion.
- Sound lab validation demonstrating up to 15 dB noise reduction compared to conventional shading systems.

Christiaan Roetgering, Founder and Owner of Coulisse: 

“Motionblinds was born from a vision to transform an entire industry. Absolute Silence truly demonstrates this. To make smart window coverings a standard in every home and building, we embrace creativity, innovative thinking, and collaboration. Working closely with technology leaders, we’ve delivered Matter and Thread across a full range of solutions – bringing simplicity, reliability, and connectivity to smart shading on a global scale.” 

Complete Range: Battery-Powered & Wired 

Motionblinds first made headlines at CES 2023 as an Innovation Award Honoree, collaborating with Eve by ABB, to launch the industry’s first smart blinds motor with Matter and Thread. Today, Motionblinds offers a full portfolio of smart motors – battery-powered and wired – for all types and styles of interior window coverings, including blinds, shades, and curtains. This evolution ensures smart control across both residential and commercial spaces. 

Matter and Thread: Seamless Integration 

Motionblinds motors with Eve technology feature built-in Matter and Thread eliminating the need for proprietary bridges. Eve Motionblinds can even be controlled directly over Thread via the latest iPhone models, enabling smart control without requiring a smart home hub. The low-power Thread mesh network is perfectly suited for battery-powered blinds in smart homes.  

For residential and commercial projects, wired Eve Motionblinds motors act as Thread mesh extenders, functioning as Full Thread Devices (FTDs) to strengthen connectivity and reliability throughout large buildings. This self-healing mesh architecture ensures robust performance in modern smart environments.

Motionblinds Matter Bridge & Entry-Level Options 

Beyond Matter and Thread, Motionblinds also offers Bluetooth and RF433MHz motors – ideal for easy setup and local automation with timers – programmed directly into the motors over Bluetooth. For more advanced control, the Motionblinds Matter Wi-Fi Bridge adds remote smartphone control and connects these entry-level motors via Matter to all major smart home platforms, including Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant, Homey, and others.  

Global Availability 

Motionblinds products are available through a global network of retailers, accessible via the store locator at motionblinds.com/stores. For CES announcements and hands-on demos, visit Motionblinds at Pepcom Digital Experience or contact us to schedule a meeting during CES 2026.
