USB-C and DC chargers are both used to charge electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and motorised window blinds. However, there are some key differences between the two that are important to understand.
Portability
USB-C chargers are generally more portable than DC chargers. USB-C chargers are often smaller and lighter than DC chargers, making them easier to carry around. DC chargers, on the other hand, are often bulkier and heavier due to their larger size.
Charging Speed
USB-C chargers typically offer faster charging speeds than DC chargers. USB-C chargers can provide up to 100 watts of power, which is significantly higher than the typical 65 watts that DC chargers offer. This means that USB-C chargers can charge your device more quickly than DC chargers.
Compatibility
USB-C chargers are more versatile than DC chargers. USB-C is a universal charging standard that can be used to charge a wide variety of devices, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and motorised window blinds now. DC chargers are often specific to a particular device or brand and may not work with other devices.
Smart blinds can be powered by line voltage, low voltage, battery, and solar power. Each power source has benefits and downsides.

Yes, Eve MotionBlinds motors also utilise Bluetooth to communicate with your Apple device, however, your blinds may be slightly slower to respond, and you’ll need to stay within a range of 10m from the blind. Any preprogrammed options such as scenes or routines won’t be affected as they’re stored on the motor.
Yes, however, because you’re outside the Bluetooth or Thread range it will require a home hub such as HomePod or Apple TV (4th generation or later) to act as a bridge between a blind/blinds and your iPhone or iPad.
