    1. Please fully close your curtain and then detach the end curtain hook from the track.
      Installation - Step 5

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.

  1. 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.

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.
