Review on πŸͺž Enhance Your Lifestyle with the SwitchBot Curtain Smart Electric Motor - Intelligent Wireless Control, Hub Compatibility with Alexa, Google Home, HomePod, IFTTT - (Rod, Black) by Mike Wachtel

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good value for me

I have HEAVY cotton pleated curtains. The curtains are 12 feet high and each pleated panel is 8 feet wide. AFTER ROD CLEANING. Openers work perfectly. It would be easier on the system if I had rings with rollers or a low friction surface on the rings. I need a few days to play with the light intensity automation. If it works well. I will order another scissor control kit. UPDATE: Installing a hub gives you Siri voice commands (nice). No built-in HomeKit connectivity. You can access the IFTTT hub with little fuss if you're tech-inclined to get icons and automation in HomeKit. web search. Native app automation works, but I'm having trouble getting both curtains to respond 100% of the time. Strange. With manual commands, applications work 100% of the time. Siri commands work 100% (sometimes I have to repeat commands like I did with the Lutron and Phillips lights).
