Aqara Smart Curtain Motor E1 Track Version, 1 Pack

Curtain robots that actually work.

The device itself is pretty nice. Feels solid and a bit more powerful than the SwitchBot equivalent. Works well on my I rail. But… the item I received is definitely used/opened/returned. It has some marks on, the bags are a bit torn, and you can tell it was somewhat assembled even though I paid for a new item. I would buy this again, but not from this seller.

I purchased 10 of these units. Out of the box, 5 had bad batteries. I returned those, but 4 of the replacements also ended up with battery issues. A year later, I’m left with 6 units whose batteries last over a year, and 4 units that will charge to 100% and then die within about two weeks with very minimal use. In my photos, you can see two units installed on the same set of curtains—opened the same number of times—yet one stays charged indefinitely while the other drains in two weeks. When used in dual setups, the settings also tend to drift over time and need to be reset. The pull-to-open feature isn’t very reliable either and seems to make the drifting problem worse. When these work properly and have good batteries, they are fantastic products.

I bought this unit to replace my Switchbot, which I had problems with because my curtains are relatively heavy. Unfortunately, although the description makes it seem like you can use it on rod or track curtains, it depends on which version you buy, and the rod version doesn't seem to be available yet (I wish they would just send both adapters like Switchbot does). The unit does look hefty and I hope to try it out whenever they get the rod version out.

In my home automation system this purchase was a test because of the discount and I will definitely buy more, I will wait for another discount season because I want to buy 5 more

In the photo you can see it with the adapter But it's not in the box.

Excellent

Can be added to home assistant without the Aqara hub. Also if attaching to IKEA track you'll need a way to connect them similar to attached photo. I used zipties that have the hook loop for a screw.

Probleem met eerdere levering uitstekend opgelost

Motore elettrico per tende gestibile con le varie piattaforme smart a patto di avere un Hub Aqara o comunque compatibile con Zigbee. Una volta configurato è molto affidabile e in condizioni favorevoli (binari tende perfetti, senza salti o giunte) funzionano in modo impeccabile. E’ presente anche un sensore luce per automatizzare in base alle condizioni ambientali l’apertura o la chiusura ma personalmente utilizzo le automazioni offerte da homekit. Il rumore prodotto è tipico di un motorino elettrico, non fastidioso. La batteria dura un’eternità: 1 anno circa. Ed è ricaricabile tramite porta usb-c.

Easy to use

It's not cheap but they are strong and have really good battery so last a good couple of months. I have a long USB c cable and big battery to charge them every 3 months.

Funciona perfectamente en un riel en form de u del tipo I. Tienes que cogerle el truco hasta que lo pillas pero luego te olvidas con la programación.
