Device Instruction

What You’ll Need before Installation

  • A compatible phone or tablet with Bluetooth 4.2 or above
  • Download the SwitchBot App
  • A SwitchBot Account
  • Wi-Fi if you want to enable Cloud Service
  • Charge the Curtain for about 4 hours

Installation

Step 1: Add Device
After downloading the App, go to Add Device from the left side menu. Then select Curtain. Follow the App instruction and add your device.

Select the Right Curtain Track

Select the Open Mode

For single side curtain, tap “Open from right to left” or “Open from left to right” depending on which way you want to open your curtain.
For double side curtain, tap “Open from middle”.

Step 2: Install on Your Curtain Track

Retrofitting is simple with SwitchBot Curtain. It only takes a few seconds to make your existing curtains smart. It is straight forward and intuitive with our App instruction.

  1. Please fully close your curtain and then detach the end curtain hook from the track.

  2. Following the diagram, attach the Curtain’s main body and the other Hook to the curtain track between the first and the second curtain clip. Then rotate them by 90° facing each other and attach the other Hook back to the main body.
    Notice:

    • The SwitchBot LOGO should face your room.
    • If a Hook is attached to the main body, you can detach it by pushing down the Hook clip and detach it from the main body.
  3. Put the curtain back in place so the Curtain is hidden.

Install the Clip (Optional)
If you use double side curtain, you need two SwitchBot Curtains to open it from the middle. Alternatively, you can use the auxiliary Clip we provide to turn it into a single side curtain so that you only need one SwitchBot Curtain.
To do that, fully close the curtain so the 2 panels are closest to each other. Connect the upper parts of the two panels by using the Clip. Draw the curtain back and forth to make sure the two panels move as one. Then you can refer to Step 2: Install on Your Curtain Track on how to set the Curtain up.

Step 3: Calibration
Calibration is for your Curtain to adapt to your existing curtain track. You need to calibrate before finishing the Installation or every time you change the Open Mode. You may redo the calibration after installing within the Settings.

Control

Lots of convenient ways to control, at your will.

  • App Control
    Open and close the curtain at your fingertip. We offer intuitive App control for iOS and Android, with weekly/bi-weekly updates following feedback from you. OTA firmware update is also available for better user experience.

  • Touch & Go
    Even with SwitchBot Curtain, you’d probably still instinctively draw the curtains by hand sometimes. When it senses you drawing the curtain, the SwitchBot Curtain will kick in and do the work for you. We call this Touch & Go.

**Voice Control and Home Automation***
Smart living is powered by your voice commands. Wouldn’t it be great to just say it?
“Alexa, close the curtain.”
“OK Google, close my bedroom curtain.”
“Hey Siri, open the living room curtain.”

  • Require SwitchBot Hub Mini (sold separately).
    Control with SwitchBot Remote (Sold Separately)
    A wireless remote add-on for you to place anywhere.
App Control
Touch & Go

Even with SwitchBot Curtain, you‘d probably still instinctively draw the curtains by hand sometimes. When it senses you drawing the curtain by more than 5 cm*, the SwitchBot Curtain will kick in and do the work for you.
For double side curtain, drawing on one side of curtain will trigger both Curtains to open or close simultaneously.
“Touch & Go” is turned on by default. To turn off, go to
“Advanced Settings”, and turn off “Touch & Go”.

  • 5 cm is the best threshold we tested because it lowers the possibility of false trigger by your cats and dogs.

Voice Control and Home Automation*
You need to turn on Cloud Service in Settings and then connect respective service. Voice command can trigger fully open and fully close.

  • Alexa, close the curtain.

  • OK Google, close my bedroom curtain.

  • Hey Siri, open the living room curtain.

  • Require SwitchBot Hub Mini (sold separately).

SwitchBot Scene
You can set up SwitchBot Scene for home automation within the SwitchBot eco- system when you turn on the Cloud Service within the Settings. There are unlimited possibilities.

Control with SwitchBot Remote (Sold Separately)
You can pair a Remote in the Settings. Please place your phone, Remote and Curtain close to each other before pairing. The rule of thumb for the distance would be within your eye sight. One key on the Remote can trigger one action of your single side curtain or double side curtain. For example, a key can trigger the curtain to close OR open. Please refer to Remote user manual for the best support.

Settings

Tap the gear icon on the Home Page near the Curtain icon to go to the Settings. Or tap the Curtain icon to go to the Control page.

Light Sensing
The light sensing feature allows triggering your device by sunlight. It’s still in the beta stage and upgrading continuously, so please explore the details in the latest App. Please send feedback via the SwitchBot App in the left side menu with the details. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Delay
You can set up 1 Delay for countdown action. You can set the countdown time, percentage of opening or closing, and Motion Mode.

Schedule
You can set up 5 Schedules on board, or unlimited Schedules with a Hub. You can set the day, time, percentage of opening or closing, and Motion Mode.

Motion Mode
Performance Mode is the default mode with more powerful strength* but higher noise level.
Silent Mode has lower noise level with less powerful strength. The best use case would be waking up with sunshine.
