I recently came across the Zemismart ZM02 Matter-over-Wi-Fi electric curtain track and decided to give it a try with my Homey Pro setup. While the Zemismart app primarily lists Zigbee devices, I was curious if the Matter-over-Wi-Fi version would work seamlessly without needing the app. I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has successfully integrated this device.
First, I ensured that my Homey Pro was up to date, as Matter integration requires the latest firmware. I then followed the standard Matter pairing process, which involved placing the ZM02 in pairing mode and adding it through the Homey app. The setup went smoothly, and the device appeared in my Homey ecosystem without any issues.
One feature I was particularly excited about was the ability to control the curtains using voice commands through Alexa. I created a simple rule in Homey to open the curtains at a specific time in the morning and close them in the evening. This integration worked perfectly, adding a nice touch to my daily routine.
However, I did encounter a minor hiccup when trying to automate the curtains based on sunrise and sunset times. Initially, the automation didn’t trigger as expected. After some troubleshooting, I realized that adjusting the latitude and longitude settings in Homey’s location settings resolved the issue. Now, the curtains open and close precisely with the sun, which is a huge plus.
For anyone considering this device, I recommend ensuring that your Homey firmware is current and that you have a stable Wi-Fi connection. The Zemismart ZM02 is a solid choice for those looking to add smart curtain control without the need for additional hubs or complicated setups.
If anyone has tips or tricks for optimizing this integration, I’d love to hear them! Happy automating!
