Find the best matching Hook Wheel
One set of Hook Wheels has already been installed on the Hook Pair upon delivery. In the box, there are also several different-sized sets of Hook Wheels for you to replace with. Please follow the steps below to find the best matching set of Hook Wheels for your curtain track.

1. Insert the separate Hook from the bottom gap of your curtain track and rotate it by 90° to fit the Hook Wheels on the track. Slide it left and right to see if it goes smoothly, then tilt it back and forth to check if it matchs the track.
   
   • If the Hook cannot be inserted onto your curtain track, or cannot be rotated after being inserted, replace with a smaller set of Hook Wheels.
   • 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 set of Hook Wheels.

If the Hook slides smoothly. You can continue the installation steps. If you have tried with every set of Hook Wheels provided and none of them worked as expected, please contact our customer support at support@wondertechlabs.com.

2. Replacing the Hook Wheels

   2. Select one set of Hook Wheels with the appropriate size. Flick the two plastic wheels to both sides to expose the metal bar in the middle. Attach the set of Hook Wheels to the Hook as shown in the picture. You should hear a click once it is firmly attached.

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.

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 and close your curtains with just the tap of a button. We offer intuitive app control for iOS and Android users, with weekly/bi-weekly updates. OTA firmware 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.

*5cm lowers the possibility of false triggers by foreign objects, pets, children, etc.

Voice Control and Home Automation

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:
