Matter smart home control for blinds connects compatible WAREMA Xeenos shading products with Matter smart home environments. Control is possible through compatible apps, voice assistants, switches or remote controls.

With the Xeenos product line, WAREMA offers certified Matter solutions for integrating compatible sun shading with other Matter-enabled devices such as heating, lighting or door cameras.

Xeenos uses the Matter smart home standard and the Thread protocol for communication between compatible devices. Thread provides mesh networking and encrypted communication for supported Xeenos components.

Whether awnings, roller shutters or external venetian blinds – enjoy intuitive control via remote, app or voice assistant and automate your sun protection to suit your personal needs.

Matter connects compatible devices from different manufacturers within supported smart home environments such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Apple Home.

Compatible Matter devices can be operated by voice assistant, smartphone, switch or remote control, depending on the selected smart home environment.

Matter is designed for cross-brand interoperability and can be extended with additional compatible devices as the smart home installation develops.

Networking of cross-brand products on a single platform

Continuous integration of new products and manufacturers

Versatile and simple with smart speakers from Amazon, Apple and Google, via iOS and Android app, switch or remote

Certified Matter networking with encrypted communication

Xeenos products from WAREMA communicate via the powerful Thread protocol.

Within the Thread mesh network, compatible mains-powered Thread devices can relay communication between devices, extending coverage across the network.

Thread uses encrypted communication, while supported commands can be processed locally within the compatible smart home environment.

High radio range thanks to mesh network structure

Low-power protocol designed for energy-efficient device communication

Encrypted communication protocol for enhanced data protection

Control shading, heating, lighting and all other Matter-enabled devices conveniently via app or voice assistant – even remotely. The certified Matter standard ensures reliable, cross-brand connectivity of all Matter products.

Automated external venetian blinds can use configured sun and temperature control to admit solar gains in winter or provide shading when required. The effect depends on the building, glazing and control settings.

Supported Xeenos commands can be processed locally within the Thread network. Encrypted communication and mesh networking support local device control without requiring cloud processing for every command.

Matter is designed for products from multiple manufacturers. WAREMA provides firmware updates for supported Xeenos products as the system is developed.

WAREMA develops and produces Xeenos components for smart sun shading in Germany.

            Smart, well-designed solutions

            Both types of control integrate motorised sun shading into a Matter smart home. A Matter roller shutter controller is suitable for retractable products such as roller shutters and awnings. A Matter venetian blind controller operates tiltable external venetian blinds. As well as opening and closing the blinds, it can adjust the angle of the slats.

            With Xeenos, the relevant actuator receives Matter commands and passes them on to the connected 230 V motor. Control is via the selected smart home app, a voice assistant, switch or hand-held transmitter.

            For external venetian blinds, the Xeenos Go Venetian Blind Actuator UP and Xeenos Go Venetian Blind Actuator Plug are suitable. They control both the movement of the blind and the angle of its slats.

            For roller shutters and awnings, the Xeenos Go Roller Shutter Actuator UP and Xeenos Go Roller Shutter Actuator Plug are available. The UP versions are installed in a flush-mounted box. The Plug versions are inserted into an existing STAK 3/STAS 3 connection between the power supply and the sun shading motor.

            The Xeenos Go Switch 2K UP Actuator integrates switchable loads such as lighting into the Matter smart home.

            Retrofitting is possible if the existing sun shading has a suitable 230 V electric motor and the installation conditions are compatible with a Xeenos actuator. A UP version may be suitable if a flush-mounted box is already present. Plug actuators are available for suitable STAK 3/STAS 3 connections.

            Manually operated roller shutters or external venetian blinds first need a suitable motor. A WAREMA specialist dealer will check the existing drive, the electrical installation and the appropriate Xeenos version. In new buildings, flush-mounted boxes and wiring can be planned for future Matter control from the outset.

            Matter-certified products have been tested against the requirements of the Connectivity Standards Alliance. Certification confirms that the product meets the defined communication, interoperability and security requirements for its certified functions.

            WAREMA Xeenos actuators are Matter-certified. This makes it easier to integrate them into compatible Matter systems from different manufacturers. The available control and automation functions also depend on the smart home platform used.

            Matter is the cross-manufacturer standard that enables smart home devices to communicate. Thread is the IP-based wireless protocol used to transmit Matter commands in Xeenos. This combination is called Matter over Thread.

            The mains-powered Xeenos actuators form a mesh network. They receive commands and relay them to other Thread devices. This extends the network range with each Xeenos actuator added.

            Yes. Integrating Xeenos into a Matter smart home requires a Thread border router and a Matter controller. The Thread border router connects the Xeenos actuators’ Thread network to the rest of the home network. The Matter controller sets up and manages the devices within the smart home platform.

            Many current smart home hubs combine both functions in one device. Before setup, check whether your specific model supports both Matter and Thread.

            The Xeenos actuators communicate locally with the Matter hub via Thread. Depending on the smart home platform, basic control commands and locally stored automations may therefore work without an active internet connection. The local network, Matter controller and Thread border router must still be available.

            An internet connection may be required for remote access, certain voice services, cloud automations or software updates. The exact range of functions depends on the smart home platform used.

            Xeenos can be integrated with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings, among others. This requires a compatible smart home hub that acts as a Matter controller and supports Thread.

            Xeenos actuators are set up in the relevant app using the Matter QR code. User interfaces, voice commands and available automations may differ between platforms.

            Xeenos actuators are connected to the 230 V electrical installation and the sun shading motor. Installation should therefore be carried out by a suitably qualified specialist.

            A WAREMA specialist dealer will check which actuator is suitable for the sun shading product and installation conditions. They will install it professionally and help with commissioning in the chosen Matter system.

            Yes. Once the Xeenos actuators have been set up on the same Matter platform, roller shutters, external venetian blinds and awnings can be grouped in shared scenes and schedules. They can also be linked to compatible sensors and other Matter devices.

            For example, roller shutters can open automatically in the morning, or the sun shading can respond to strong sunlight. The available triggers and functions depend on the smart home platform and connected devices.

            Our Xeenos Matter actuators communicate via Thread. To use them in a smart home, you therefore need a Matter controller with an integrated Thread Border Router. The Thread Border Router connects the Thread wireless network of WAREMA devices to your smart home's IP network. Our Matter actuators can generally be controlled using the following smart home systems:

            • HomePod mini
            • HomePod (2nd generation)
            • Apple TV 4K (2nd generation)
            • Apple TV 4K (3rd generation, Wi-Fi + Ethernet)

            Note on power measurement:

            The Xeenos Go Matter Actuator Switch 2K UP also supports power measurement. This does not affect the actuator's normal operation. If you wish to use the power measurement function, please check in advance whether your Matter controller supports it.

            Note on compatibility:

            This list provides an overview of currently supported smart home controllers. As the Matter standard continues to evolve, the range of available functions may change following updates to the respective platforms and devices. Information correct as of October 2026. Before setting up your system, please also check with the manufacturer of your smart home controller whether compatibility and the required functions are still supported.
