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 (Curtain 3, Rod)

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!

It's perfect for any household. I often forget that I have it with how little I have to charge it. It is better to buy the HUB for it though as you can run it through your Alexa app after purchasing and installing the HUB. The signal is great and the battery last for months. It opens and closes fairly quickly. It's very durable and the functionality is easy to access. It seems a bit expensive but you will love it.

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

Ordered 2 Switchbot Curtain 3s (without solar panel) to make opening and closing my 112” length Pinch Pleated back tab curtains easy. I found the instructions to be a bit lacking. One important thing not mentioned in the instructions is that you need to hold the ‘add device’ button for several seconds before trying to charge the battery. But with the help of several Youtubes, I did get the two Switchbots installed for center opening (using Bluetooth only). They work great! Will order more Switchbot Curtain 3s for my French door curtains.

First off, my bad, I ordered one thinking what I ordered would open the curtains, especially at the price. I was wrong and even though one of the pictures in the description showed 2, opening the curtains, there is only 1 in the box, so if you have curtains instead of a single curtain, you need 2. My wife liked the present, so I had to order another one. Then, after an hour of setup getting the curtains to look right, she figures out it does not work with Alexa as it says in the big print, you need a hub like it says in the fine print. Now after the setup, over expense and annoyance that it is not at all as I expected when I ordered, every time she opens the app it says she has to disconnect and reconnect because something went wrong. The only reason I have not returned yet is because of what a pain these have been to get to this point, and hoping that whatever the app issue is gets itself worked out. Not likely though I am guessing, very likely a return coming. I feel scammed and hope no one else makes the mistake of ordering these…..great idea, miserable execution and deceptive selling. Very expensive junk.

Works great and installation was honestly a breeze. There's a lot of info in the instructions so it might seem overwhelming at first but you realize it's because they write the instructions for EVERY single curtain type. It's really straightforward and I didn't use the beads for my grommet curtains. Literally just snapped the thing onto my curtain rod, stuck the magnet sticker thingy on one end, and it was good to go.The major gripe I have about this is that we were all misled into thinking this was Alexa compatible. it is not. You need to buy the hub to make it Alexa compatible. I also am not even sure how the hub would make this compatible, what extra functions I'd actually get through my Alexa if I were to connect this through a hub... it's all very unclear. And because having everything streamlined through my Alexa is a priority for me, I had to knock off 2 stars.
