HONG KONG, Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, SwitchBot launched its latest product, SwitchBot Curtain, a small wireless device that motorizes any curtains. After just 30 seconds of installation, users can enjoy the convenience of smart curtains that save energy, improve their sleep cycles, and deter burglars. It is now available on Kickstarter for $69.
SwitchBot Curtain is a small wireless device that makes any curtains motorized after 30 seconds of installation. After mounting to their curtain rod or rail, users can then control and schedule their curtains to open and close with a simple app on their phone or with voice controls using Google/Alexa/Siri or via IFTTT with the SwitchBot Hub. The SwitchBot Curtain also has a built-in light sensor so it can automatically open the curtains when the sun rises once set.
The device supports a wide variety of track types, including U-rail and I-rail, and any rod types with different diameters. The device can be controlled via the SwitchBot app; with voice controls when paired with a smart speaker like Google Home, Apple HomePod or Amazon Alexa; or with the SwitchBot Curtain wireless remote button, which can be mounted on a wall or left free to carry from room to room.
"The ability to automatically wake up to daylight while still going to bed in the true dark can do wonders for sleep and now it's easy to achieve," said SwitchBot CEO Connery Lee. "SwitchBot Curtain also allows you to automatically block out unwanted mid-afternoon sun or make it look as if someone's home when you go away--it's a simple solution to a variety of everyday issues."
Coupled with the company's app, users are able to set schedules for their curtains to open or close. Alternatively, they can use the built-in light sensor to have SwitchBot automatically react based on the time of day and amount of sunlight. Users can also check the app to see if their curtains are open or closed and adjust them remotely.
"Curtains themselves can be a big investment and it would be a waste to have to get rid of them if you do want to enjoy motorized curtains," said Lee. "At SwitchBot, we are big believers in 'retrofitting' homes to make them smart instead of simply replacing everything. That was a big part of our inspiration for SwitchBot Curtain--achieving that 'smart' lifestyle with minimal excess products."
SwitchBot Curtain is a completely wireless solution powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts 8 months depending on the usage. Users can also eliminate the need to charge at all with the solar panel add-on.
SwitchBot is currently available for a Kickstarter special price of $69 with a delivery date of April 2020. Media wishing to interview SwitchBot personnel should contact PR agent, Borjana Slipicevic at [email protected]
