SwitchBot Automatic Curtain Opener – Bluetooth Remote Control Smart Curtain with App/Timer, Upgraded High-Performance Motor, Add SwitchBot Hub to Work with Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit

Amazing Product, Great Price.
I was hesitant about buying these, doubting they would work as advertised, especially at that price point. But I’m so glad I did. They were very easy to set up and install on the curtain track over our sliding glass doors with our new curtains (also purchased on Amazon along with the track). These can be controlled by an app on my phone. You have to buy two of them if you want curtains that part from the middle, still a steal compared to automated track which goes for hundreds more. These can be controlled by an app on my phone. You do have to buy two of them if you want curtains that part from the middle, one for each side. Still a steel compared to automated track which goes for much more. I love that we can set this up to open and close at certain times of the day to keep the heat out of the room on really hot days. There are two speed modes, standard, which is pretty fast and shown here, and something called quiet mode I think which opens much much more slowly and quietly. I believe that mode is designed to light into a bedroom gradually in the morning without waking you up. The set of curtains shown here (also from Amazon) block UV light have a rich linen feel and look and cost about $160 for both panels, pleated, each 8 feet wide. The track itself (also from Amazon) was easy to mount. I bought enough to cover the full 16 foot width of these doors for $85. That adds up to $430 plus tax for an entire entirely new, beautiful window treatment that keeps the sun from fading our wood floor and rug in the morning .

Pretty Cool and Handy—But Why Do I Need an Account?
It’s a pretty neat gadget! Straightforward to set up, making it easy to automate your curtains in no time. Programming the schedule is a breeze—you can tailor it to your daily routine with a few taps, like having your curtains open on weekday mornings and close in the evenings, or sleep in a bit on weekends with later opening times. The flexibility of the scheduling options is definitely one of its strongest features.That said, there are a few drawbacks. For example, requiring an account to use the app feels a bit unnecessary, especially when all you want is to control your curtains without the extra steps. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it does take away from the overall seamless experience.In terms of functionality, though, the device performs as expected, and the motor is strong enough to handle even heavier curtains. If you catch it on sale, it’s an even better deal! All things considered, I’m giving it a 4/5—good value with just a few minor frustrations.Although I strongly recommend buying this one sale

1 of a kind device, works superbly
The SwitchBot Curtain is one of those smart home devices that just makes life easier. I installed it on my heavy, energy-efficient curtains, and it had no trouble opening and closing them smoothly. Now, instead of manually adjusting them throughout the day, I have them set on a schedule to let in natural light in the morning and close at night for privacy.Setup was surprisingly simple, and the motor is quiet but powerful. The battery lasts a long time, but I have an outlet right next to the curtains where I installed this and will likely go that route instead of the solar panel. The curtain opener also integrates well with other SwitchBot products, making automation seamless. I have it exposed to Home Assistant and it works like a charm!For anyone looking to make their home smarter and more convenient, this is a great addition. Highly recommend!

Set up is not easy; they are great when they actually work
I was really excited about these smart curtain closers, but they were a complete nightmare to set up. They really need to make their instructions more clear, as we had to rely on videos posted by other people just to get these working. Once set up, they work, but only some of the time. For some reason, the left one (we have two) can’t find the magnet. I will recalibrate, it will work fine for a few days, and then will stop short of the magnet again. I originally was going to return them, but the thought of taking them down and going through set up all over again was so unappealing I decided to just deal with the issues.

Requiere un hub que se vende por separado para integrarlo a Alexa, sino sólo se puede usar mediante su app. Es demasiado grande/grueso por lo que debe haber bastante espacio entre la pared y el riel de la cortina para que no se atore.

A lot of step by step setup but it was easy to understand. Needed to adjust things to fit them in my home. Initially a bit worried that the white color device on my black curtain rod would be too noticeable but it seems okay on it.A bit of spending to just open curtains automatically but love it as set times to open and close by itself. Also motorized rods are even more expensive and they are not portable.Still think it would be better to install powered motorized one if do renovation next time for long term as no worry for batteries or solar panels, and clean look.
