SwitchBotSmart Automatic Curtain Opener - Bluetooth Remote Control with App/Timer, Upgraded Performance Motor, Add SwitchBot Hub to Make it Work with Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit(Curtain 3, U Rail)

Great product. Works really well within its own ecosystem and connects easily via a hub to Alexa. We've added it to all sorts of routines such as opening at sunrise, closing at sunset and closing when we turn our projector on. They are really easy to set up and when I did have a faulty customer service was fantastic. They talked me through possible solutions and when that didn't work they sent out a new one.

I’ve been using these curtain motors in my bedroom for over a year now and they’ve worked flawlessly. The battery life is impressive, lasting easily over four to five months, and I’ve set up automations to open the curtains at sunrise, which works perfectly.I definitely plan to get more to automate the rest of the house. Installation and setup only took a few minutes and then you can just forget about them as they do their job quietly and reliably.The only minor issue I’ve encountered is that I need to oil or use WD40 on the curtain pole about twice a year to keep everything running smoothly, but that’s hardly a dealbreaker.We love showing them off to guests and it’s especially great when we’re on holiday as it gives the impression someone is home. Highly recommended

**updated review**Customer service is 5*, bought for bedroom and the quality is good with clear instructions on how to set up and link to the app. Once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s pretty easy to get set up and put it into action. Customer service reached out immediately to discuss some issues had when connecting but their professionalism, friendly staff and passion in their product is something to admire. I fully recommend the company and encourage to buy, hopefully they will sell twin packs in the future for rod curtain rails so that you can close curtains in the middle.

I’ve bought 6 so far of these, and looking at more. I have a degenerative neurological condition and these certainly are a godsend. I only need more because the change of seasons affecting more windows but these give my great control over my environment. I would definitely recommend. Dead easy to set up (I have mine grouped so use 2 per window). Also got the solar chargers for south facing windows - definitely a must.

Got these to replace the curtain 2. The batteries stopped charging after 3 years.You'll need a SwitchBot Hub 2 to link to your home ecosystem. I reset mine to factory settings to ensue there were no errors carried over from the old ones. Added it to the Apple Home app. This took a few minutes. The curtain 3 bots were set un in about a minute. The app walks you through the steps, and you can watch a video on the SwitchBot site.Calibrating them took 15 seconds or so. Once that was done, you add them to the hub, which adds them to you ecosystem.Once set up, it was time to test. I asked Siri to close the curtains, then open them. Voice control works great. They were pretty quick to respond. They're compatible with both rod and track, so you need to make sure you order the right ones. They a bit big, but you don't notice them because they're hidden behind the curtains.Once I was happy with them, I created some automations that close the curtains at sunset, open them at a certain time if I'm out. Everything works as it should.

I’ve had this now for about 4 months and can honestly say it’s infuriating. A constant need to re-calibrate, the inability to consistently close a curtain fully. I’ve had to give up on them, expensive waste of money!They’re pulling a curtain from one side, certainly not a heavy curtain, it’s a metal pole with metal rings which may be introducing friction, but the motor in the opener just doesn’t sound strong enough. I’ve tried all sorts of different methods with the spacing of the cord and I’ll get it working for a few days perfectly, then it just stops closing fully, maybe 70/80%. Then the whole ordeal starts again.Honestly I just can’t recommend these until motors are stronger. Your mileage may vary with different curtain types etc… but for me it’s a no.

Very impressed I bought two of these and very impressed there to help my wife who is disabled and struggles to stand but the big thing is in order to work with alexa you have to have SwitchBot hub i bought the the SwitchBot mini from Amazon for just under £32.00 which i really wasn't expecting to buy but once added they work seamlessly with alexa open and closeSuper impressed a brilliant product mine on a curtain pole with grommets and works with ease . And total breeze to set upSumming up if you want voice control you have to have a SwitchBot hub hope this helps anyone who may be thinking of buying

The device came well packaged with good instructions. Battery life is excellent and the motors are strong enough to move even heavy curtains. Only issue I’ve had is the curtains getting stuck on the extendable poles even when using the supplied joiner. The joiner has also lost its stickiness which means it sits proud and catches the curtains as they try to move along. I’ve had to wrap the prongs with tape to get them to stay down but this requires replacement every few months due to wear and tear. Hopefully SwitchBot can redesign this.
