This is my second set of curtain bots, I used the same rail and same curtain type but found these bots were sluggish, sticking and not managing to fully open or close the curtains... after polishing the rail with a little WD40, the bots work flawlessly and quietly (just as the first set I purchased did).

So if you are having issues with the bots sticking... try cleaning the rail (especially if it's brand new... as my rail was only a few weeks old).

Additionally they would not update over my wifi at all, not sure why but as soon as I switched my cell to Data, they updated perfectly and fast.

Performance... responsive and reasonably quiet. Worth the money IMO but I would buy 4 more more for the kids rooms if they were maybe half the cost.

Very neat solution, easy to install and works really well. Being able to schedule the closing of our curtains is good for our home security

When I got them going they’re great. Only one issue. Originally didn’t work well and really struggled to close curtains. But I just changed the pole to a thiner curtain pole and works a treat. It’s a big piece of mind knowing my curtains open and close even if I’m not in the house.

This product along with the hub mini, makes automated life so much easier. Curtain opens at dawn and closes at dusk. Need it opened or closed right now? Just use your voice with your favorite automation director. Only thing you need to take care of is an unobstructed rail. Rails that have been slid inside of each other might prove to be too big of an obstacle for the little wheels. It pulling a 4M heavy curtain on a U-rail here. Loving it! Wife is asking for two more.

I installed this on a rod with curtain with back pockets.
Skeptical as most. I installed and downloaded app. And calibrated.
Calibration takes a bit to get it just right, but is very easy to control
Put on the schedule for the day.
Works great.
Motor does make a little noise. But it’s quick.
installed with it 100% charged. After the calibration a few times and adjusting curtains. And a few days of in use. Battery is only down to 97%.

All in all good product

A lot of these reviews are based on the old version, which lacked several important features that are on the new version. I bought 2 of the new version and I am quite happy with the purchase. It is rechargeable, has light level detection, and is pretty well-made. I tried to find other ones on Amazon and this was the most reliable curtain opener.

This product lacks Alexa/Google Home integration, but if you are just having it open and close by time/level of light, then the app is sufficient. If you want voice control, you will need a hub.

Overall, I am happy with the purchase. It works well for me and also the customer service is great.

I bought 2 curtain closers and a hub mini so that I can close/open my curtains from anywhere when I am not at home. Fairly easy to set up and works really well. I have grommet curtains so I had to add the clips with the beads which didn't take very long.
The curtains close and open very smoothly. This is great for security when you are away so that it looks like someone is at home. I also have a Switchbot bot so that I can now turn the lights on and off remotely through the hub too.
Excellent innovative products that just work really well - highly recommended!

This product communicates clearly with my habitat and google home. I haven't had any issues since using it for a few months. It's obviously not an immediate response but it's reliable. Also, the battery life is great, probably a decent six months before having to charge it for a few hours
