BREL HOME prepares sunshades for the future with Matter

One smart standard for all your devices

Smart living is becoming increasingly important. Automatic shutters, blinds, or curtains not only enhance living comfort but also contribute to energy savings. At BREL HOME, we believe that smart sun protection should be accessible and user-friendly for everyone. That's why we have been working with the new smart home standard: Matter.

 

What is Matter?
Matter is the universal language for smart home devices. The protocol enables devices from different brands, such as Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung, to communicate seamlessly with each other. For the user, this means: one app, one system, one network. Whether you use Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant – your smart sun protection simply works.

BREL HOME and Matter: ready for tomorrow
As the first motor specialist for sun protection, BREL HOME offers full support for Matter. Our Home Box Matter ensures that all existing bi-directional BREL HOME motors can be easily connected to your smart home platform. Additionally, we are working hard on the next step: replacing our older motor series with new motors featuring built-in Matter technology. These motors can be directly connected, without the need for a bridge or extra hub. This makes smart sun protection even easier and faster to install.

Always up-to-date
Matter continues to evolve. The latest version, Matter 1.3, includes improvements that ensure smart devices – such as sun protection – work even faster, safer, and more stable. This version also offers more possibilities to easily connect devices and make them work together within one smart home platform. At BREL HOME, we closely follow these developments so that our products always meet the latest standards and user preferences. This way, you are assured of a future-proof solution.

Smart sun protection for everyone
Thanks to Matter, our customers can effortlessly connect their smart sun protection to other systems in the house. From lighting to security: everything works together in one smart ecosystem. With BREL HOME, you choose comfort, energy savings, and ease of use – today and in the future.
