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

If you have only purchased 1 SwitchBot Curtain, you may use the clips provided to join your curtains together and turn them into a single-sided curtain. Please note: Using just 1 SwitchBot Curtain to control a double-sided curtain may affect user experience.

3. Calibration
   After you have added and installed your SwitchBot Curtain, you will need to calibrate it to set its route on your curtain track. Please follow the instructions in our app to make sure that the actual movement of your curtain is the same as the animation in the app. You can choose to recalibrate the Curtain or change its opening direction whenever you want by going to Curtain > Settings > Calibration. Please note: You can group two SwitchBot Curtains via our app should you plan to open your curtains from the middle. Before you calibrate, please make sure the positions of your SwitchBot Curtains are the same as shown in our app.

Usage Methods

App Control
Open or close your curtain with just the tap of a button. We offer intuitive app control for iOS and Android users, with weekly/bi-weekly updates. OTAfirmware updates are also available to give you a better user experience.

Touch & Go
When SwitchBot Curtain senses you drawing your curtain for more than 5 cm, it will automatically start and do the work for you. For a double-sided curtain, you only need to pull one side of it to activate your Curtain. Please note: You can turn off this feature on the Advanced Settings page of the Curtain at any time.
*5 cm lowers the possibility of false triggers by foreign objects, pets, children, etc.

You can link multiple third-party services to your SwitchBot account to control your SwitchBot Curtain or trigger Scenes using voice commands.
How to realize voice control and home automation:

• Connect your smartphone or tablet to the Internet.
