It finally automated the morning wakeup routine. The sun now hits my eye balls as soon as sunrise happens allowing me to have a natural wake up without the need for caffeine and artificial sounds. The roller is dead quiet when it's gliding across the curtain rod, leaving behind nothing but the ASMR sounds of silver curtain rings dragging on the surface of a powder coated steel pole. It really soothes the soul in the morning. The battery is basically eternal. It runs twice a day, opening the curtains for the sunrise and closing the curtains for sunset. Has half a year lifespan according to the documentation so time will tell. All in all, a nice addition to home automation, integrates with a hub, and home assistant which makes it work flawlessly with all routines Read more

Very high quality product ; good packaging, good instructions, well-made extras widgets for different type of rod curtain attachment (you can see them in Switch-bot installation videos). The Curtain 3 device feels solid and sturdy. It is heavy, so, you may need to add a support in the middle of your rod if it is already caving down. I made a video with a 5 kg weight on an 8 feet rod and an eyelet that creates more friction than a normal curtain eyelet would. Also, note that a curtain's weight is spread over many eyelets, not just one. I was surprise that the device could move the 5 kg without any issue (I didn't expect that). The little magnet (discrete) provided is very good for high precision closing, I did some test without the magnets, and it worked but not as nicely, I'll recommend installing the magnets. I have no doubts that these curtain openers will work on my heavy thermal insulated curtains at my winter cottage. Having 3 configurable speeds is really a plus for me, not too noisy at high speed and extremely quiet at the lowest speed. Note, that it doesn't come with a power adapter to recharge the battery, not a real problem these days with all the electronic USB gadget we already have! Read more

I’ve been using the SwitchBot Curtain 3 for a while now, and it’s honestly a huge upgrade. Setup was straightforward — the app install took no time, and pairing it with Google Home was seamless. Matter support works great; I’ve got it tied into a few automations, and the quiet/slow mode makes waking up a lot less harsh. The motor is impressively quiet but still strong enough to handle thicker curtains. Battery life is supposed to last around eight months! One tip — if your curtains open from the center, make sure to grab two units (one for each side). That’s not really a flaw, just something to plan for. Overall, the hardware feels premium, the app is clean and stable, and performance has been great so far. Definitely one of those smart home upgrades that works — highly recommend. Read more

This is my fourth Switchbot device that I’ve purchased as I try to make my home ‘smarter’. And for anyone looking to automate their curtains, this device is great. The SwitchBot Curtain 3 truly delivers on ease of installation, which is great for me because I’m not the most tech savvy person although I’m trying to change that. The package includes both a quick setup card for immediate use and a comprehensive user manual for those who want detailed guidance. Additionally, the SwitchBot app features both a video installation guide and a pictorial step-by-step guide, giving you multiple resources to choose from based on your learning preference. I appreciated having all these options - the quick setup card got me up and running fast, while the app's visual guides provided extra reassurance during the process. The physical installation was very straightforward with no tools required. The device clips securely onto your curtain rod very easily. Calibrating the device was also easy and fast - the app walked me through each step clearly, making the setup process completely foolproof. Connecting the Curtain 3 to the SwitchBot app was completely hassle-free. The device appeared immediately when I opened the app unlike a lot of other devices I’ve connected in the past (no connection issues or lengthy pairing process). The app recognized the device quickly and walked me through the simple calibration steps without any technical problems. One of the standout features of the Curtain 3 is its quiet operation. The motor runs smoothly without the loud grinding or clicking sounds you might expect from an automated curtain system. It’s not completely silent because there is still a motor, but the noise level is minimal For anyone looking to automate their curtains without dealing with complex setup procedures or disruptive noise, this device delivers exactly what it promises and reinforces why SwitchBot has earned my loyalty as a customer.
