Curtain Automation (with video)

I wanted to share this project with you. It was a real challenge, but the end result gave me great satisfaction. The main difficulties I encountered were:

  1. The total length of my windows exceeded the maximum recommended length.

  2. Installing the system over such a length presented numerous problems.

  3. It wasn’t certain that the system would work with a single Aqara motor. Two motors would have been too expensive.

  4. I don’t know if this is clearer now, but at the beginning of this project, it was difficult to find a motor compatible with a European server. I had to contact technical support directly, who recommended a motor, but without much guarantee.

Today, my curtain works perfectly, and I can control all its functions via Siri.

Isn’t that the “Aqara Smarter Curtain Motor E1 (Rail Version)”?
