With Aqara curtain motors you can open and close your curtains automatically using voice commands – Yanko Design

The Aqara curtain motors are designed to fit virtually any type of curtain rod. They are tiny robotic butlers that open and close your curtains for you based on commands or smart home routines. With a built in light detector, the curtains can also be programmed to close when it’s incredibly sunny outside, saving on air conditioning and electricity bills… and did I mention it fits over any existing curtain with a simple push?

EASY INSTALLATION – No tools are required. Simply mount the Curtain Driver El to the existing curtain rails and hide it behind the curtain.

While it’s not the first curtain-powered robot we’ve heard of, Aqara’s Curtain Driver E1 hopes to combine this unique service with its wide range of smart home products and its Zigbee 3.0 smart home protocol . The Curtain Driver E1 is a palm-sized, handy little device that hooks onto your curtain rod between the folds or rings of your curtain. Equipped with powerful motors that allow the curtain rod/rail to be moved up or down, the Curtain Driver E1 can open or close the curtains to any degree. The Curtain Driver E1 is not only an impressive feature, but also exceptionally practical for reducing energy costs and increasing your overall efficiency. Not quite sure what I mean? Well, let me paint you a picture.

For obvious reasons you draw the curtains at night, but every morning at 8:30 the curtains open very gradually, filling your room with a wisp of sunlight. Unlike the alarm clock that jolts you out of bed, this gradual exposure to the sun allows you to wake up naturally rested and refreshed. You are ready to get to work. They turn on the air conditioning during the day because hey, we’re having a heat wave. The curtain drivers detect strong sunlight entering your room and half close the blinds for you. Your room is lit but not hot, and your air conditioner doesn’t have to compensate for the extra heat. You finish work in the evening and want to watch TV. The sun’s still out, but you tell your smart speaker or voice assistant it’s time for House Of Dragons. Your smart home responds automatically by turning on the TV, dimming the lights, and closing the curtains. It might also turn on the smart microwave and start popping that bag of popcorn you put in it half an hour ago. It couldn’t be easier, right?

Aqara’s Curtain Driver E1 is designed to handle all of these scenarios fairly comfortably. Its various attachments allow it to be retrofitted to a variety of rods or tracks, and the internal motor can support up to 12kg and takes care of even thicker, heavier curtains. Broad compatibility means that the Curtain Driver E1 works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, Aqara Home and a variety of other platforms, integrates into your smart home ecosystem in a snap and you can operate it via voice commands and IoT hardware can switches, the Aqara app or even IFTTT routines/recipes. Matter support will also be available via an OTA update after the official release of the Matter specifications.

Each Curtain Driver E1 comes with its own 6000mAh battery (larger than most smartphones) that will last you for up to a year without recharging. A conveniently located USB-C port at the base lets you juice your curtain drivers, and with the Aqara Home app you can keep an eye on all the curtain drivers in your home and even open or close them remotely. I’d say this would work perfectly for whatever upcoming Halloween prank you might have in mind too! The Curtain Driver E1 can be purchased with the promotional code YANKOCDUS (which gives you a combined discount of 10% + 10%) at a reduced price of $80. Offer valid between October 20th and 22nd.
