It s a perfect addition if you already have a HomeKit hub (e.g. Apple Home Pod) and wish to extend it with zigbee devices and integrate them in the Apple home app. Bought it to integrate with Aqara curtain opener and works flawlessly and shows up in my Apple home. Just a plug it, set it up in just a matter of minutes and forget about it. What more to ask? Oh and the lovely this about it is that you can turn off any signal lights for a good night sleep. Review: Awesome - They work really well and awesome to have. First world problem, not having the time to manually open the curtains. LOL I was leaving for work before sunrise and did not want to open the curtains at that time. This product saved the day, now they open on a schedule and close on a schedule…woohoo! ## Features - [Notes]An Aqara Hub is required and sold separately.(NOTE:Hubs from alternative brands are not compatible.) Requires a secured 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi network connection for Hub M2/ M1S/ E1/M1S Gen2 and Camera Hub G2H Pro/ G2H, and 2.4/ 5 GHz Wi-Fi for Camera Hub G3.(Wired connection via Ethernet RJ45 for Hub M2 is also supported.) Please make sure the firmware for the Aqara Hub and the Aqara Home App have been updated to the latest version. - [Compatiblility] The Aqara Curtain Motor E1 Rod Version supports most popular rods with uniform thickness and does not support rods with different thicknesses at the ends, such as telescopic or extendable rods. The package includes a "grommet kit". The supported diameter range for rod is 0.99 - 1.25 inches.) Please consult the images and A+ content for comprehensive installation instructions. - [Automate Your Existing Curtain and Proximity]Effortlessly install the Curtain Motor E1 onto your current curtain track or rod without requiring extra tools. It seamlessly integrates behind the curtain without altering your decor. Besides, for a sturdy connection, ensure that the Aqara Curtain Motor E1 is within 400 inches of the Aqara Zigbee hub, and the hub is within the same range from the Wi-Fi router. Additionally, make sure the hub and the router are on the same local area network (LAN). - 【Smart Home Automations】The Curtain Motor E1 offers automated control of your current curtains, allowing adjustments based on weather, time, lighting conditions, or other triggered Aqara devices. Customize a sleep-wake routine to align with your personal schedule using the timer feature.

(The calculated battery life refers to opening and closing a curtain on a 5 ft track (i.e., 2 curtain drivers per window) once a day, and it also depends on friction, curtain weight and type.)

Check side alignment: the motor should be perpendicular to the rail with drive wheels clear of the U-track slot. Gently shake - if stable, it's properly installed **Q: What if the curtains do not open or close completely after the curtain driver is hung on the track and clasped tightly?** A: After the curtain driver is hung on the track and clasped tightly, it is necessary to set the route via the Aqara Home app or the curtain driver button **Q: Can I still set the ambient light linkage function after creating a curtain driver?** A: There is no option to directly set the ambient light linkage in the settings page of the curtain driver, but you can still set the ambient light linkage separately in the settings page of a single plug-in ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value *by J***J on December 14, 2025* Great value!

First world problem, not having the time to manually open the curtains. LOL I was leaving for work before sunrise and did not want to open the curtains at that time. This product saved the day, now they open on a schedule and close on a schedule…woohoo! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Home Assistant via Z2MQTT ☺️ *by A***J on October 7, 2025* Works with Home Assistant via Z2MQTT. It works as intended and it was discovered on my Zigbee network quickly without the need to download the Aqara app. I have it set up with HA automations and have exposed it to my Alexa via HA, so I can just ask it to open and close from there too. I've had it for about 2 months and the battery life has been pretty good, I only charged it once at initial set up. One thing I did notice is I cannot set up the "hand open" feature on HA, but its not a big deal for me. In regards to sound, I guess it could be quieter, but I have mine set up with a U rail so it could be the wheels contributing to the noise. ## Frequently Bought Together - [Upgraded Version] Aqara Smart Curtain Motor E1 (Rod Version, 1 Pack), Requires AQARA Zigbee 3.0 HUB, Not Support Hubs from Other Brands, Support HomeKit, Alexa and IFTTT - Aqara Smart Hub M3 for Home Automation, Matter Controller, Thread Border Router, Features Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, PoE, IR, Supports Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, IFTTT --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/620779942-upgraded-version-aqara-smart-curtain-motor-e1-rod-version-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/620779942-upgraded-version-aqara-smart-curtain-motor-e1-rod-version-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
