Google Home
Works with Motionblinds
With Motionblinds and Google Home, you can control smart blinds and smart shades using the Google Home app or through Google Assistant voice commands. Motorized window coverings bring comfort, privacy, and energy efficiency to your home with easy, hands‑free operation.
Motionblinds is a smart motorized window covering system developed by Coulisse that works with all leading smart home platforms and building management systems — discover them all here.
Motionblinds works with Google Home
Google Home is Google’s smart home platform for managing lighting, blinds, thermostats, and other connected devices. Accessed through the Google Home app and powered by Google Assistant, it enables voice control, smart routines, and Matter support for fast and secure local control. Google Home helps automate everyday tasks and brings your smart devices together in one simple interface.
Motionblinds connects to Google Home in three ways. Which one fits depends on your motors — and none of them means replacing the motors you already have. Across all three paths, you get the same Google Home app control and Google Assistant voice commands.
Eve Motionblinds — Matter and Thread
Eve Motionblinds motors have Matter and Thread built in and connect directly to Google Home, with no bridge required. A Thread border router such as a Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) or Google TV Streamer manages the local connection. Because control runs locally over Thread, it is fast and reliable and keeps working during internet outages. This is the cleanest option for new installations.
Standard motors — Matter Wi-Fi Bridge
Standard Motionblinds motors with Bluetooth or 433 MHz radio technology connect through the Motionblinds Matter Wi-Fi Bridge (CM-55). Setup is quick with QR-code scanning, no account is required, and the bridge works locally — schedules and automations keep running even without an internet connection. No motors are replaced; you simply add the bridge.
Standard motors — Wi-Fi Bridge Cloud Connection
433 MHz motors already connected to a Motionblinds Wi-Fi Bridge without Matter (CMD-01 or CM-20) connect to Google Home through a secure cloud-to-cloud integration, with no new hardware. Link your Motionblinds account in the Google Home app and your existing motors appear automatically. This path needs an active internet connection; local automations set in the Motionblinds app keep running on their own.
Google Home - Frequently asked questions
Yes. Motionblinds smart blinds and smart shades work with Google Home across three connection paths: Matter and Thread via Eve Motionblinds, the CM-55 Matter Wi-Fi Bridge for standard Bluetooth/433 MHz motors, and cloud-to-cloud via a CMD-01 or CM-20 Wi-Fi Bridge.
Eve Motionblinds motors need a Thread border router (such as a Google Nest Hub or Google TV Streamer) but no Motionblinds bridge. Standard Bluetooth or 433 MHz motors connect through the CM-55 Matter Wi-Fi Bridge, or — if already on a CMD-01/CM-20 Wi-Fi Bridge — via cloud-to-cloud.
Yes. No path requires new motors. Existing 433 MHz motors on a CMD-01 or CM-20 bridge connect via cloud-to-cloud with no new hardware; motors without a bridge, or that need local Matter control, use the CM-55 bridge.
Yes. Use commands such as “Hey Google, open the blinds,” “close the blinds,” or “set the blinds to 50%.” Blinds can be controlled individually, by room, or as part of a routine.
Yes. Google Home supports time-based routines, sunrise and sunset automations, and sensor-triggered routines. Motionblinds can be added to any routine alongside your other connected devices.
Yes. Group blinds by room in the Google Home app or assign several blinds to the same routine for synchronized control.
Eve Motionblinds and the CM-55 bridge run locally, so schedules and local automations continue during outages. The cloud-to-cloud path via CMD-01 or CM-20 requires an active internet connection. Google Assistant voice commands need internet on every path.
Yes. Closing blinds during peak sunlight reduces solar heat gain and cooling use, and opening them for daylight reduces reliance on artificial lighting.
