Tuya Zigbee Curtain Motor?

12

I am feeding back after using for more than month now so people can take an informed decision before buying,

Positives

  1. Very reliable
  2. No loss of Zigbee connection
  3. Battery is fine so far
  4. Has a strong pull
  5. Cheap in price so you can buy 2 of this from Aliexpress for the price of one Switchbot curtain motor
  6. Works perfectly with the iQuix driver
  7. Comes with remote and you can only set it to 20%, 50% and 80% with the remote BUT you can set it to any percentage through smartthings routines
  8. Say 20 to 28mm rod dimension but I have a 16 mm rod and this works perfectly

Negatives

  1. Cannot manually move the curtain as you need to use a remote or Alexa command so I fitted the remote next to the curtains in case any of us want to open or close when are near by. I also purchased a Zigbee button and placed next to my computer table so can control it when I want to.
  2. Assembly is not very straightforward and may take some time to figure out how to moves across the rod so would advise you to buy this with solar panel because you don’t have to worry about taking the motor out for charging and fitting it back.
  3. You need 2 AAA batteries for the remote which you need to purchase separately

Any questions, please ask.
