MOVE Kickstarter. They like Homey!

I backed another project on Kickstarter that can motorize your existing manual blinds and shades and I just wanted to share it with this community. First of all because I believe it's a great idea thats unique at the moment and can be useful for a lot of home automation enthousiast here. And second because they like Homey and are open to work on the integration with Homey 
Sounds like a great plan to me!

That looks pretty cool!
Thanks for sharing! Definitely going to order some
And... they have an open API !
Great to hear Michael, thanks! I have backed them as well!
I was an early backer too, looks great!
I backed them too. I found it an easy and cheap way to motorise my blinds.
Backed them!
They just confirmed that they will open the Bluetooth protocol to Homey. So integration should be smooth!
Whoo hoo!!! Nice one!
Thanks again for sharing Michael! One of the great things about this community
Backed them up with 3 Move's,
i hope they, or athom can create support and a app for Homey
Backed 2 move's
Backed them up also
Backed them also, 2 moves, finally a cheap solution for my ´lamellen´, hope it works as smooth as seen on video
Backed them also, 6 moves.
backed them as well.
Backed them too, No blinds to use them on, just for the fun off it!

Backed them too , 8 moves :-)
Backed them, 6 moves... :-) Nice combo...
Just backed 8 moves! Can't wait to combine it with Homey!
Backed then! 3 moves
Backed them also with 6 Moves... I'm hoping someone develop an app for Homey so Move is supported.
@Martijn, that's a driver which has to be developed ;-)
@RobinVanKekem, "there comes the monkey out of the mouw"
I'm clearly not an developer.
@Martijn, lol. One can learn anything
It probably doesn't work with traditional Luxaflex/Jaloeziën right? Pulling a set of strings for UP and DOWN instead of a loop... Or does someone has any idea how to make this work?
@Lesley, maybe if you remove the locking mechanism and add a extra pully with a counter weight you can make it work (I think
)
Thanks Martijn, I think I'll just order like 6 or 8 of them and see if I could make it work
@Lesley
The kickstarter page says that every move will have a spool and cogwheel so it can work with string and chains.
Video 2 also demonstrates that it can work with luxaflex.
Thanks for sharing, looks awesome! Backed it!
