Although there already are “smart” powered curtains on the market, the things can be complex to install, and often need to be plugged into a power outlet.
The SwitchBot Curtain, on the other hand, is a battery-powered device that simply gets added to existing curtains.The idea behind the product is that users just hang it on their third-party curtain rail, after which it moves back and forth along that rail via a powered rubber roller, pushing and pulling the curtains open and closed as it does so.
It’s reportedly compatible with a variety of rail styles, including telescoping rods that have humps where the sections meet.Utilizing an accompanying iOS/Android smartphone app, users can set the SwitchBot to move the curtains according to a predetermined daily schedule, or they can get it to do so immediately, on demand.
It’s also possible to have the device open the curtains when its integrated light sensor detects the morning sunrise, then close them again when the sun goes down in the evening.Alternatively, it can also close the curtains during the day, to keep out the summer heat.
