Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the maximum bearing capacity for the curtain driver?

The maximum bearing capacity is 12 kg with U-rails and rods, and about 8 kg with I-rails. The actual bearing capacity will be affected by factors such as wear of curtain rings, aging of rails and dirtiness.

How long is the battery life?

In an example where the length of the track/rod is 1.5m, the weight of the curtain is 12kg, and the device is scheduled to open and close the curtain once a day, the curtain driver can run for around 9 – 10 months.
Note that the battery life can be influenced by other factors, such as the friction between the curtain and the track.

Can you tug-to-open or close?

Yes, this feature is supported. Simply do a quick tug of the curtain, and the driver responds by automatically opening or closing the full length of the curtain.

How does this work for centre open curtains?

You will need 2 drivers.

How does this product differ from the Aqara Smart Curtain Control?

This product is mostly meant for retrofit applications – that is, that they are meant to be conveniently installed into existing, non-smart tracks.

The Homesmart Aqara Smart Curtain Control, on the other hand, is a fully integrated motor + track system that is built as a smart motorized control from the ground up. It has several benefits over the Curtain Driver E1:

  • Faster opening and closing speeds
  • Consistent and reliable performance
  • Silent operation
  • Plugged-in power that doesn’t require recharging or risk battery degradation (but requires power socket)
  • Only requires 1 motor + track for centre-open curtains (the Curtain Driver E1 requires two drivers)
  • 50 kg weight limit and 6 metre track length limit. The Curtain Driver E1 has a 12 kg limit and no track limit, although battery life will shorten considerably for longer tracks.

Generally, clients who are installing new curtains and tracks into their new projects will enjoy much better performance by choosing the Aqara Smart Curtain Control. Clients who already have existing curtains will benefit from the Aqara Curtain Driver E1.

    This item didn’t work very well with my Ikea rod curtains because there was some size difference in the rod diameter. But it worked well enough to almost cover most of the window, so I think it was a win overall!
