Imagine waking up to the sunshine through your window because your curtains are automatically set to open for morning. Catch the sunset just before bedtime and let them close on their own when it's time to get ready for bed. The SwitchBot Automatic Curtain Opener does exactly that. If you are someone who has experienced the frustration of traditional curtain mechanisms or like your curtains drawn and closed at certain times, this curtain opener is the perfect thing for you.


First Impressions


This smart gadget is a game-changer for home automation enthusiasts. The sleek design, coupled with the sturdy build, latches onto the curtain rod with ease. The high-performance motor is smooth and quiet, ensuring that the ambiance of your living space remains undisturbed. The best part is the Bluetooth remote control and app/timer functionalities which add a layer of customization to when you want your curtains drawn. With compatibility to integrate with smart home ecosystems like Alexa, Google Home, and HomeKit, the SwitchBot Curtain Opener can integrate well for your personal smart home experience.


How Have You Tested


My first test of this smart gadget was for my guests and the look on their faces when I opened my curtains from my phone was priceless. In fact, I would recommend getting this smart gadget just so you can experience that as well. I mainly use it to open my curtains in the morning because I like to sleep in the dark and wake up to the sun. From waking up to the gentle opening of curtains to scheduling closures for enhanced privacy in the evenings, this smart gadget fit like a glove into my lifestyle. The app has a user-friendly interface and the Bluetooth connectivity was reliable. The only downside was that I tried it on my friend's heavier, longer curtains and it struggled a bit to move them. If your curtains are on the heavier side I would opt for an automatic curtain opener installation rod.
