Born to retrofit
Not like other smart curtain solutions, SwitchBot Curtain is coming to retrofit and automate your existing curtains. By one step attach it to tracks, and transform your existing curtains to the smart ones within seconds.
Installation can never be so easy
Thought it would take you over an hour to complete the installment? No way! Simply attach it to the curtain rail, and let the curtain itself move for you.
Set up in 30 seconds
With the unique mechanical design of the SwitchBot Curtain, it takes you only 30 seconds to set up. (For Rod pocket curtains, clip rings are required)
Open your curtains with one touch
Sometimes we're just too tired of pulling the drapes by hand. So, from now on, start to open and close curtains on your smartphone. By adding the SwitchBot Hub 2 (sold separately), you can even control your curtains when you are 1000 miles away from home!
Wake up with natural light
Struggling with the alarms on weekdays' morning? Let the SwitchBot Curtain save you. Set up a schedule on your phone, your curtains will be automatically opened before your alarm goes off.
Long Battery Life
Equipped with a rechargeable battery, it can last 8 months depending on the usage.
Energy saving every day
With the help of the built-in sunlight sensor, your curtains can be set to close during the daytime in summer, blocking out the sunlight to save the air-conditioning. Set the curtain to open during the daytime in winter, and you will enjoy a warm room while saving on heating!
Touch & Go
Even with SwitchBot Curtain, you'd probably still instinctively draw the curtains by hand. When SwitchBot Curtain senses your little pull, it will kick in and do the rest of the work for you, so-called Touch & Go.
Tiny Body with Big Power
With a palm-sized body, it can be nicely hidden behind your curtains and works like no one knows. Not only this, but the power of the SwitchBot Curtain can even push up to 8 kg (17 pounds) of curtain!
