Functionalities: Advanced Control and Custom Automations

The Curtain Driver E1 offers a comprehensive set of features to automate and personalize your window treatments.

• Broad Smart Ecosystem Compatibility: Utilizing the Zigbee 3.0 protocol, the driver requires an Aqara Hub to connect and integrates effortlessly with the world's most popular smart home platforms, including Apple HomeKit (Siri), Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT. Future-proofing is ensured with support for the Matter standard.

• Easy, Tool-Free Retrofit Installation: Designed for existing curtain systems, the Rod Version installs in minutes without the need for drilling or complex wiring. Simply mount the driver onto your curtain rod, and use the Aqara Home app to set the open and close limits.

• Intelligent Automation with Built-in Sensor: A key feature is the integrated light sensor, which enables smart, energy-saving automations. You can configure the curtains to automatically close when the ambient light is too bright (to reduce heat and glare) and open when the sun is setting or rising, based on conditions detected by the device itself or linked Aqara sensors.

• Flexible Control and Wake-Up Scenes: Control your curtains via voice commands, the Aqara Home app, or physical triggers using other Aqara accessories like a Wireless Mini Switch or Cube Controller. An adjustable opening speed allows for a quiet mode and the creation of custom "sunrise" scenarios, where the curtains open gradually over a set period to gently wake you with natural light.

• Double Curtain Synchronization: For split curtains, you can install two Curtain Drivers and easily group them in the app. This allows them to open or close simultaneously with a single command, ensuring a synchronized and elegant look.

• Manual Control Assistance: The motor features a gentle tug detection that triggers the motor to take over and complete the opening or closing action, offering a convenient way to start the movement without reaching for your phone.
