Choosing the Best Smart Curtain Track Motor. Looking to make your life easier without having to open and shut your curtains day and night to adjust the brightness? With the best smart curtain motor, you get to enjoy more natural light all while getting better solar and thermal protection. You'll create a warm, elegant space for the interior decor of your choice. You are also protecting yourself from prying eyes.
Perfect for shading out the light and privacy at night, you should always choose an opaque design for night time spaces. These curtains have a lining that acts as a barrier in winter against the cold from outside and wards off heat in summer. Heavy curtains like velvet or thick cotton also provide thermal insulation giving your home a cosy, warm style.
Designed mainly for living spaces, voile curtains are perfect for seeing without being seen. Their light fabric is light and either sheer or light filtering to protect you from prying eyes and still let some light in. Plain or patterned, made of simple cotton, polyester, organza, or muslin, there's something for everybody.
To protect your privacy at dusk, the curtains shut on their own and your lights turn on so you can just enjoy the time of night with total peace of mind. Also, as soon as anybody tries to open the curtain manually, the smart curtains motor detects this and takes over, opening it automatically.
Whatever the time of day, your smart curtain opener, adjust and close automatically in silence. This gives you the ideal visual comfort to do your favourite activities. Your smart electric curtain/voile curtain also has the benefit of preserving your furniture and wallpaper from the effects of sunlight.
You can easily control the inside temperature. In summer, if it's too hot, your automatic curtain opener shut to keep your house cool. And in winter, they stay open to let the sun through and increase the temperature a few degrees.
By centralising your smart electric curtain using home automation, you can control them with a single click from the special app on your smartphone. And thanks to its compatibility with voice assistants, you can launch scenarios vocally to really relax in your own home.
The automation of the curtains is done thanks to the motorisation which allows them to slide on a rail.
For electric curtains, you have to choose which way they open: left, right or in the middle. It's pretty straightforward in principle: if you choose an automatic curtain opener that open to the right, the fabric piles up on the right side of the window. The same goes for the left. If you opt for a central opening, then the two sides of the curtains open either side of the window. So make sure you have plenty of space on one side or both sides of your window for plenty of light when the smart electric curtain is open.
If you want to install a smart electric curtain, you need to check first for the weight, design and length. The motor system fits a max weight of 60 kg and a length of 12 metres. Therefore, the weight of the smart electric curtain is a very important factor for consideration. The heavier the fabric, the more high-performance and robust the motor needs to be.
Our motors are designed for straight curtains, wave curtains or curtains with simple folds whatever the type (blackout, insulating, etc.). We offer custom rails to make sure that your electric curtain fits your window perfectly. You are also recommended to get a professional to assist you in choosing and hanging them for you.
The motor has a removable battery, 6-month battery life, which recharges directly via a USB charger. It operates silently and the battery is concealed in the motor. Thanks to its streamlined design, the absence of external wires and the white colourway, it blends in with your interior perfectly.

Once the sunlight levels are too high, the curtains close automatically to keep the interior cool. Perfect for just the right temperature to stay comfortable and for reducing your energy use.
