Find the best matching Hook Wheel
Our Hook pair has been attached with a set of Hook Wheels upon delivery. In the box, there are also several sets of Hook Wheels that are sized differently and are exchangeable. Please follow the steps below to find the best matching set of Hook Wheels.

  1. Insert the Hook provided onto your curtain track and rotate it by 90°. Slide it left and right to see if it works smoothly, then tilt your device back and forth to make sure it fits.
    • If the Hook cannot be inserted or rotated on your curtain rail, replace with a smaller pair of Hook Wheel.
    • Try pull the Hook towards one side and tilt it, if it falls easily from the curtain track, you need to replace with a bigger pair of Hook Wheels.
    • If you feel that your device fits sufficiently, there is no need to replace.

2How to Control Double-Sided Curtains
If you are using a double-sided curtain, we recommend you use two SwitchBot Curtain devices to open your curtains from the middle.

Please note: using just 1 single SwitchBot Curtain to control a double sided curtain may affect user experience.
Step 3: Calibration
After adding and installing SwitchBot Curtain, you will need to calibrate your device in order to fit your current curtain track. Please follow guidance via our app for calibration to make sure that the actual movement of your curtain is the same as the animation on our app. You will need to recalibrate every time you change Open Mode in our app, you can reset these settings on the Settings page at anytime.
Please note: You can group two SwitchBot Curtains should you wish to open your curtains from the middle. Before you calibrate, please make sure the position of your SwitchBot Curtain devices is the same as shown via our app.
