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

I am such a fan, I expected a cheap Chinese product but the box and product is like apple or something really high quality with a lot of thought put into it. Setup seemed daunting but then was easy after watching a video. I didn’t use any of the clips or anything, not even magnets for my setup. And it works great. But probably need them for other curtain style. I absolutely love the quiet drift feature. So cool! Literally silent and feels really classy when it opens slowly. I use it to open my blackout curtains every morning in a schedule

I’ve got a huge smarthome setup and have automated quite a few things, so when I ordered this I kind of knew what I was getting myself into. I ordered the product and just let it sit for a while because I was dreading the typical setup > get confused > something goes wrong > troubleshoot for hours loop that typically comes with this kind of product so when I finally got around to installing it, I was pleasantly surprised. The setup was super easy and instructions were clear and concise. It came with everything you need and there were no serious issues. Attached some videos to show the smooth running. I was actually concerned it would struggle with the bump in the curtain rod where the smaller one goes into the bigger one but it had zero issues with it. I also ordered the solar charger to go with it and it snaps right it and hangs from the base of the device, keeping it in sunlight to charge with almost zero installation outside of unboxing and plugging it in. A couple important notes for others that I didn’t know before buying: these aren’t issues at all, but just stuff to be aware of that I didn’t see or didn’t think about before hand. 1) If you have a support in the middle of your curtains (like a 3rd bracket in the middle to hold your curtains up), you’ll need a second SwitchBot to open both sides and can’t use just a single one. 2) The solar charger does hang down from the main switch bot and would be visible during the day if you had sheer curtains. Some folks may not like that. Also, if your SwitchBot is defaulting to having your curtains all the way to one side or the other, it may not have the solar charger in the window long enough to charge. You CAN fix this, however, because they’ve got a really neat feature built in where you can tell it to auto charge during the day by bringing the SwitchBot into the sunlight no matter where it’s at, when it needs to. This just means your curtains won’t be at your preferred setting for a bit while it charges, but it really beats taking it down and charging. 3) Lastly, you do need a slightly thicker curtain rod - not crazy thick, maybe about the size of a US nickel or a little smaller. I have a pretty thin curtain rod on one side where I started, but it’s the telescopic kind so the other side is thicker and I flipped it over and it was fine. The little arms that hang on the rod actually have a lot of room to adjust to account for a lot of sizes, but they can only get so small so if you’ve got very thin curtain rods, be advised. That stuff all told, I’m very happy with mine and am planning to buy a few more now to fill up my curtains! I’m enjoying it quite a bit!

The actual curtain3 bot works well for opening and closing your curtains. Maybe with a different smart home technology it works better. If you have an Alexa home then switchbot is not for you. I purchased the curtain3 device to automate my bedroom curtains. Only to learn that you need a hub to allow your Alexa device to communicate with the curtain bot. I found this annoying because there was not anything in the advertising for the curtain3 that would suggest that you needed another purchase to actually make them work with Alexa. Also, the hub I eventually purchased never communicated with Alexa. The apps would say the Switchbot app and the Alexa app were “linked” but Alexa could never find any of the Switchbot devices. So I ended up returning the curtain3 bot and the hub. I wanted voice controlled devices, as advertised, but Switchbot is just not compatible with Alexa.

- My expectations were very LOW for this product. It just seemed a little gimmicky. And as you can see the reviews are not stellar. But whatever, I had a new home and I wanted to do a lot of automation particularly around my office ("the engine room"). - I bought a pair to try em' out. After one month I liked them so much I bought another pair, the HUB2, and the Solar Rechargers! - I have the HUB2 linked to Apple Home Kit and the things just work flawlessly. "Hey Siri. Good morning!" is one of my favorite things to say in the morning as my lights come on and my curtains open. - This product has been SOLIID for 4 months so far, and it's still fine. - The only modification I had to do was... I have the smallest curtain rod size it will take... and over time... I noticed one rod would rotate. This becomes a problem because there are special metallic stickers that be SwitchBot needs to see in the middle of the rod... and when they can't be sensed... it causes issues. But I fixed the bar from rolling, and after that... it's been 100% - I was very skeptical that the solar rechargers would work too... BUT THEY DO! Checking right now .. after 3 months... I have not had to charge them one time! My office gets direct sun a few - Firmware upgrades happen! They care about good software! - And it's smart software. It has never once run rampant because it can't sense the magnets in the center of the rod (when I had that issue) nor has it gotten confused and run off the end. When it didn't the magnets, in my case, it made an intelligent guess as to where to stop. - They are expensive, $400 for 2 windows is an attention getter, but I must say I do like mine. - Solid product. Heavy duty. Great plastic choice. - The only thing I would change if I could is the noise. It's not horrible, it's not even bad, it just sounds a little gear-e. But I'll take it.

Een makkelijk te installeren product met de looks and feel van een Apple.

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.

Hands down the coolest home automation i bought! Works well and very easy to install. Works with app, have schedules set with sunrise and light levels (need a seperate hub/charging thing for that) also a very handy little feature is if you pull open the curtain gently then it automatically triggers the open close which is great if you dont have phone handy. Handles the extended curtain rods very well

بعد شراء وتجربة المنتج وجدت أنه يؤدي الغرض ولكن *لا أنصح بشراءه* لسببين أساسيين وهما: (1) يحتاج إلى الـ hub الخاص من نفس الشركة لكي يعمل مع بقيه أنظمه المنزل الذكي (مثل المساعد الصوتي أليكسا) وهذا يعني تكلفة إضافية وتطبيق إضافي في قائمة تطبيقات المنزل الذكي. (2) السعر المرتفع، وهذا يشمل جهاز واحد لفتح جهة واحده فقط من الستائر، وان كان لديك ستائر تفتح من جهتين فتحتاج إلى جهازين مما يعني ضعف التكلفة. وبشكل عام يؤدي المنتج الغرض الأساسي المطلوب عمله وهو فتح الستائر وإغلاقها يدوياً أو من تطبيقهم الخاص. ولو أردت المزيد من المزايا فعليك تحمل المزيد من التكاليف.

Excellent robot et Excellent service clients : toutes les possibilités d'installations sont prévue, en applique, en cage, rail ou barre, crochets anneaux ou œillets. une multitude de fonctionnements possibles : ouverture et fermeture à la voix avec Alexa (avec le mini hub), au lever et au coucher du soleil, à la température ou à la luminosité, vous pouvez même programmer vous même vos scènes favorite comme le visionnage d'un film (expl de routine Alexa: "Alexa mets tel film" et Alexa ferme les rideaux éteint les lumières et diffuse le film), ouverture et fermeture partielle (avec l'appli SwitchBot). L'installation et le calibrage sont très simple, sur 4 SwitchBot Curtains il m'a fallut environ 10mn pour le 1er et moins de 5mn pour les suivants. Le service clients est un vrai service client, hyper réactif message envoyé à 18h française réponse à 8h le lendemain matin et bien traduit, en tenant compte du décalage horaire bravo, un léger problème immédiatement résolu avec en prime un geste commercial. Pour faire court je suis ravi de mon achat et vous le recommande vivement. Je suis souvent absent et ma mère qui a 82 ans et qui vit chez moi n'est plus obligée de monter sur une chaise pour ouvrir ou fermer les rideaux, MERCI SWITCHBOT
