SwitchBotSolar Panel Charger for Curtain 3 - Performance Upgrade, Easy to Use, Support Low Light Charging, Smart Solar Panel for SwitchBot Curtain 3 Rod/U Rail, Non-Stop Solar Power Supply

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.

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

Really good little bit of kit, makes you lazy though! LolBattery lady a few months before it needs charging.Only works with blinds with a twist stick not pull chords or chainsWorks fine with Google home etc

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.

Good idea, easy install to change to mobile phone control curtain open and close, easy installation

The media could not be loaded. 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.
