Aqara Curtain Driver E1 (Track version)

The Aqara Curtain Driver E1 (Track Version) is an innovative retrofit solution designed to effortlessly motorize your existing window curtains, instantly transforming a traditional home fixture into a smart, automated centerpiece. As a cost-efficient model specifically engineered for curtain rails, this device is compatible with popular U-Rails and I-Rails. Installation is simple and tool-free; the driver quickly and easily mounts onto your current track, hidden discreetly behind the curtain fabric.

With a robust motor capable of handling even heavy drapery, it delivers convenient, hands-free curtain control for a contemporary lifestyle.

Functionalities

The Curtain Driver E1 offers a wealth of features for enhanced home control and automation:

• Universal Smart Home Integration: Achieve broad compatibility with major smart home platforms, including Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant, enabling convenient voice control and seamless coordination with other smart devices. The device is also expected to support the upcoming Matter standard.

• Multiple Control Methods: Beyond voice commands, manage your curtains via the Aqara Home app for remote operation, set customized schedules, or integrate with other Aqara devices like the Mini Switch or Cube T1 Pro for physical control. You can even open or close the curtain partially by a slight manual pull.

• Intelligent Automation: Leverage a built-in light sensor to automatically adjust curtains based on ambient brightness, saving energy and maximizing comfort. Create custom "scenes" and automations based on time, weather, or triggers from other sensors for personalized routines like a simulated gradual sunrise to gently wake you up.

• Device Grouping and Dual Motor Support: For double-sided curtains, install two drivers and group them in the app to open and close both sides simultaneously, ensuring a perfectly synchronized look.

• Long-Lasting Battery Life: Equipped with an enormous 6000 mAh rechargeable battery, the driver uses advanced energy-saving technology to provide up to a year of operation on a single charge (actual time varies based on curtain weight and track friction). It charges conveniently via a USB-C port, which can also be used for constant power supply if preferred.

• Adjustable Speed and Limit Settings: Fine-tune the motor speed for quiet operation, perfect for use during the night or early morning. Easily set the precise opening and closing limits within the Aqara Home app.
