MOVE–motorize blinds and shades
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2015 12:37 pm
A $29 bluetooth controlled motor for your existing indoor blinds and shades.
MOVE is built to fit as many different manually operated indoor blinds and shades as possible that has a cord or bead chain. MOVE can be controlled directly by a smartphone or automated based on time, temperature or solar conditions. MOVE has a lift capacity of about 8-10 kg/17-22 lb.
<question>
I was just wondering... You said that Move would have an open API. Is that only through the extra wifi bridge? Or are you also open to opening up the Bluetooth protocol, so home automation systems (like Kickstarters Homey and NEEO) can connect to it directly?
<answer>
We are going to open up the Bluetooth protocol as well so there will be a lot of options regarding integration with other systems.

I have backed this project as it is a simple and not too expensive solution.
