Aqara E1 Smart Curtain Driver (Rod Version) Zigbee

With the Aqara E1 Smart Curtain Driver in the Rod version, you can automate your curtains in an elegant and intelligent way. This clever device simply clips onto a classic curtain rod (round rod) and instantly transforms your curtains into a smart system. Control is convenient via app, voice, or automatically through schedules and sensors. Through Zigbee 3.0, the curtain driver can be seamlessly integrated into your smart home and works perfectly with Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT. This way, you can automatically open your curtains at sunrise or close them for shading in high heat. The integrated battery provides wireless and flexible installation and can be charged via USB-C if needed. The quiet yet powerful motor reliably moves your curtains – whether light or heavy. Manual pulling is also possible; the motor detects the movement and takes over automatically. The compact design looks modern and unobtrusive in any room. Whether in the bedroom, living room, or office – the Aqara E1 ensures more comfort and energy efficiency in your daily life. Installation is easy and requires no tools, making it ideal for rental apartments as no structural changes are necessary. The Aqara E1 Smart Curtain Driver (Rod Version) is fully compatible with Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT and can be flexibly integrated into automations.
