SwitchBot Curtain 3
~C$89
The SwitchBot Curtain 3 is a motorized curtain opener that attaches to your existing curtain rod and opens/closes your curtains on a schedule or via voice command. The upgraded motor is 50% quieter than the previous version, and the built-in solar panel charges the battery using sunlight through the curtain. Compatible with most curtain rod types (U-rail, I-rail, and rod). Works with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit (via SwitchBot Hub). A simple way to automate curtains without replacing them.
