While it’s not the first curtain robot we’ve heard of, Aqara’s E1 curtain pilot hopes to tie this unique service into its extensive line of smart home products and its Zigbee smart home protocol. 3.0. The Curtain Driver E1 is a handy little palm-sized unit that hangs on your curtain rod, between the folds or rings of your curtain. Equipped with powerful motors that allow it to raise or lower the curtain rod/track, the Curtain Driver E1 can open or close curtains to any degree. As well as being an awesome feature, the Curtain Driver E1 is also extremely convenient to help reduce energy costs and increase your overall efficiency. Not sure what I mean? Well, let me paint a picture for you.
You close the curtains at night, for obvious reasons, but every morning at 8:30 am the curtains open very gradually, filling your room with sunbathing. Unlike the alarm that kicks you out of bed, this gradual exposure to the sun allows you to wake up naturally feeling well-rested and refreshed. You are ready to get to work. You turn on the air conditioning during the day because we are in the middle of a heat wave. Curtain drivers sense strong sunlight entering your room and half close the shades for you. Your room is lit, but not warm, and your air conditioner doesn’t have to compensate for the extra heat. You have finished work in the evenings and you would like to watch TV. The sun is still out, but you tell your smart speaker or voice assistant that it’s House Of Dragons time. Your smart home automatically responds by turning on the TV, dimming the lights and closing the curtains. Maybe he also turns on the smart microwave and starts popping that bag of popcorn you put in there half an hour back. It doesn’t get any easier than that, does it?
Aqara’s E1 Curtain Driver was designed to handle all of these scenarios quite comfortably. Its various accessories allow it to adapt to a wide variety of rods or tracks, and the internal motor can support up to 12 kilograms, supporting even thicker and heavier curtains. Wide compatibility means the E1 curtain driver works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, Aqara Home and a host of other platforms, integrating into your smart home ecosystem in a snap and allowing you to operate it via voice commands, IoT hardware switches, Aqara app or even IFTTT routines/recipes. Matter support is also expected to be available via an OTA update after the Matter specs are officially released.
Each Curtain Driver E1 is equipped with its own 6000 mAh battery (larger than those found on most smartphones) which allows it to last up to an entire year without recharging. A conveniently located USB-C port on the base lets you power up your curtain drivers, and the Aqara Home app lets you keep an eye on all the curtain drivers around your home and even open or close them. close them remotely. I’d say it would work great for any upcoming Halloween pranks you might have in mind too!
