Curtain Rod 3 works well when set up on its own but is better when integrated with Alexa.1 – The instructions are a little confusing and finally I abandoned them and used the headline information on the side of the box and followed my nose.2 – Installation is actually easy the most difficult part being fitting the clips to the curtains. Once done however they work flawlessly.3 – In there basic form the curtains can be closed with the app, or by pulling them manually (to start off) or by using the software schedule. The latter is a little limited in functionality but for full control I linked to Alexa which allows them to open/close with the sunset/sunrise etc.4 – The curtains will work with the Hub and even mini hub. This allows linkage to Google/Alexa environments. To do this however you must enable cloud services setting during set up and ignore the comments in the instructions that say it wont work with Bluetooth.5 – I must say the customer services is superb. This is a rewritten review as initially I was very disappointed with the product and its capability to integrate with Alexa. However having had an extensive dialogue with the manufacturer they were able to clear all my issues and the products (curtain 3 and mini hub) are working flawlessly.6 – I have yet to test whether the claimed 8 months battery life is accurate but certainly at present (a month on) they are not showing any signs of fading.7 – My only criticism now is the cost which hopefully with time will come down and at that point will buy some more.
Best purchase for our smart home –
Probably the best purchase we made this year! We went on holiday and had to leave our 6.5 ft tall money plant at home for a few weeks. We couldn’t leave the curtains open for that long and we couldn’t leave them closed either as the plant needs plenty of natural light. The solution was to set a custom schedule in the SwitchBot app that opens the curtains in the morning and closes the curtains at night.

The switchbot curtain robots are a fantastic and simple way to bring smart home functionality to our curtains.The installation was very simple, with the app giving to each step in either pictoral or video form. The units are seemlessly paired together within the app (for a middle close solution) and then they will self calibrate. Simply genius.We were especially pleased that these worked, after having tried a generic/Chinese belt driven track. That solution simply did not work, it would constantly jam, or not close/open the entire way. Im sure this is because the individual eyelets were getting caught.I was apprehensive that the switchbot motors may not work with our curtains, as the track is so long (nearly 5 meters) and th curtains themselves are thick and heavy. But theyre rated for 16kgs, so i gave them a shot and they work!I have deducted a star because of the noise of the units. Ideally they would be quieter, but it is understandable. They can indeed run quieter if desired, but at a much slower pace. The way around this would be to schedule the slow openings at a time you may not notice them.

This works well.It was convenient to install, calibrate and operate. I’ve coupled it with a SwitchBot hub, so I can easily control it even when I’m not at home. Unfortunately, the rod connector provided for the telescopic extendible rods didn’t work well for me (the rod connector didn’t stick well) so I had to use it without it. However, this works well without the rod connector, even though the transition is not as smooth as it would have been with the rod connector. I already bought another 2 of these, and will be going for another one soon. Overall, I’m very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

I have a lot of smart tech in the house and these devices have to be the absolute worst. I am not a beginner with this stuff1. You need yet another smart hub to have these work properly.. you buy the smart hub and it doesn’t come with a plug! Unlike other smart hubs where the hub is integrated into the plug, this thing wants its own special spot2. I initially managed to actually get these set up following the instructions. Worked for about 4 minutes total before completely breaking down- it doesn’t integrate with Alexa at all, Alexa simply cant find these devices after activating the skill. I am willing to accept that could be an Amazon issue- the devices now just don’t move. Automatic callibation just fails at the point where it tries to move the curtains, manual callibration says that the curtains are moving in the app but they aren’t.3. The positioning magnet is an ugly blemish on your curtain rail, as is the extendable pole guide, makes the rail look like it’s been selotaped together.4. I also purchased the solar panels for this. Can’t review them to say if they work because the entire system doesn’t work.3 hours wasted on this so far, not sure I’d have spent 3 hours opening and closing a curtain over the course of 10 years. Total waste of time and money, avoid

The Best Curtain Opener: Superior Quality, Unmatched Responsiveness, Powerful Performance
I wanted to automate my curtains and impulsively bought a device that looked promising. Big mistake! The battery drained incredibly fast, and it struggled to close my double curtains.Learning from my error, I researched thoroughly and found the SwitchBot Curtain 2 with excellent reviews. Impressed, I ordered it for all my windows. I’m thrilled! It’s a high-quality product, incredibly easy to install, and I effortlessly paired two units to handle my double curtains. Highly recommended!

Funcional pero complicado
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.

Awesome curtain opener

It’s incredibly satisfying to open and close my curtains automaticaly. The device is quiet, smooth, and reliable, even with heavier curtains. I’m so impressed that I’m planning to get more for the rest of my home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add convenience and automation to their space

Top rate tech!
We bought two SwitchBot Curtain 3 robots for the curtains in our bedroom/office. Incredibly easy to set up and connect to Amazon Alexa. They both work flawlessly, and open and close both curtains according to programmed schedules. Looking forward to buying more SwitchBots to use in our loft.
