Inhouse, we’ve always been working hard to do one thing: to help everyone live a life that’s a little more comfortable in the simplest way possible.
When we found out that people had to tear down walls, drill holes, change tracks, and pay expensive fees (while spending unimaginable energy) just to experience smart curtains, we decided to do something about it.
In 2019, SwitchBot Curtain was born. It revolutionized the installation of smart curtains, with no tools, no wiring, and no track changing required. It turned old curtains into smart curtains in seconds.
However, it must be noted, this journey was not smooth sailing. We had to iterate SwitchBot Curtain over and over again to adapt to thousands of curtain tracks around the world. It was the biggest challenge for retrofitting smart curtains that we’d ever seen.
In 2022, SwitchBot Curtain 2 came along, with stronger adaptability, an innovative DynamiClamp™ structure design, and the ability to overcome the most difficult of telescopic rods.
This innovative structure design laid a solid foundation for overthrowing pre-installed smart curtains and the issues they may have had.
“My curtain fabric is too heavy, my device can’t push them.”
“I want to wake up to sunlight in the morning, but I end up being woken up by noise.”
“Is there a way I can charge my device without having to take it down?”
And so, as of 2023 (that is, now) SwitchBot Curtain 3 is available, installation is still simple, and there are still many ways to control your device(s). It also includes the following:
- Matter support
- Double thrust force (now up to 16kg)
- QuietDrift™️
- New generation solar panels!
As simple as always. Make your old curtains smart ones in seconds.
SwitchBot Curtain 3 still features the same easy installation that you’d be used to with the SwitchBot Curtain series.
Its unique detachable ear structure design not only simplifies the installation process but also significantly enhances the adaptability of Curtain 3. By simply changing the ear attachment, Curtain 3 can adjust to accommodate Roman Rods, U Rail, and I Rail curtain tracks (coming soon).
With our very own DynamiClamp™️ structure design, you can dynamically adjust your “ears” when passing through Roman Rods with height differences, from high to low or from low to high. Yup, no matter what, Curtain 3 adapts with ease. Still not sure if it’s right for you? Check here to see if your curtain track is compatible.
8 control methods, suitable for the whole family.
SwitchBot Curtain 3 supports up to 8 control methods, whether it is using via our app, with timers, or even voice control. SwitchBot Curtain 3 has it all. If you’re away but want to give the impression that someone’s home, just pair it with a SwitchBot Hub, and you can control it remotely. Or even if you have older family members or children at home, don’t worry. We also have a physical button SwitchBot Remote that you can simply press to open and close your curtains.
Not only that, Curtain 3 can also support Matter through Hub 2, and then support HomeKit too. This means from now on, iPhone users can easily control the opening and closing of curtains with their iPhone, Apple Watch, and HomePod Mini.
Now includes a stronger motor, with at least double the thrust!
Actually, so-called compatibility is not only about curtain tracks or fabric style… curtain fabric weight also comes into play too. Only when everything is installed and runs smoothly can we truly redeem it to be compatible?
SwitchBot Curtain 3 is equipped with a more powerful motor that can easily push 15kg curtains on Rod-type tracks and 16kg curtains on U-type tracks (FYI: the heaviest curtains we can buy on the market are about 10kg). And it can even push curtains that are 5 meters high.
This upgrade not only helps push heavier curtains but also improves the pushing speed and reduces normal running noise too.
5mm/s precise control with noise lower than 25dB.
Waking up to sunlight instead of being woken up by noisy alarm clocks and enjoying a more natural morning are big reasons why everyone chooses to buy smart curtains. Yet, in reality, whether dealing with pre-installed smart curtains or retrofit options, noise-sensitive users often grumble that the machine’s operational noise is more likely to wake them up than the soft light of dawn.
That’s where QuietDrift™️ steps in, designed to deliver a more peaceful morning experience. With a dual closed-loop motor control system for pinpoint accuracy, Curtain 3 operates at a whisper-quiet level below 25 dB. And its gentle curtain opening speed of 5mm/s allows sunlight to gradually fill your room, mimicking a natural sunrise for a serene wake-up routine.
But it isn’t just about mornings. QuietDrift™️ is also our first step towards creating a seamless smart home experience. The ultimate goal of a smart home is to offer convenience so well integrated that you almost forget it’s there. Ultra-quiet and subtly effective, QuietDrift™️ works hand-in-hand with automation to open and close your curtains throughout the day without causing any disruption, whether you’re engrossed in a book or enjoying your favorite TV show… you won’t even notice it’s there!
3 hours of direct sunlight every day is all it needs to say goodbye to battery woes.
In order to completely solve ‘battery anxiety,’ we have developed a new generation of solar panels for SwitchBot Curtain 3. These revamped panels provide at least double the charging efficiency of their predecessors, alongside enhanced low-light charging technology. As long as you get 3 hours of direct sunlight every day, you’ll be able to enjoy unlimited battery life.
Fully upgraded, without any price increase!
SwitchBot Curtain 3 is still simple to install. And now includes:
- Even more ways to control
- Huge improvements in thrust
- Better battery life
- QuietDrift™️
Yup, all at the same price you’d expect from SwitchBot!
