Treat a centre-opening curtain as a complete window assembly, not a single motor listing.
An attractive motor price can look less attractive when the window has two panels that open away from the centre. Each moving section needs a compatible arrangement. Photograph the whole window, including the centre overlap, instead of sending only a close-up of the rod.
Curtain 3 and the rod-version Aqara E1 are candidates for different supported hardware conditions. Check each selected variant, curtain weight, travel and charging access. The Aqara option needs its compatible hub; the SwitchBot option has separate requirements for remote and bridged functions.
Ask for the total window scope: motor quantities, any necessary hub, accessories and setup work. Then compare the result with the inconvenience you actually want to remove. A complete two-panel plan is easier to budget and maintain than discovering an unfinished half-window after the first delivery.
Before you order
- Count independently moving curtain sections.
- Measure rod and travel conditions.
- Include charging access for both sides.
A useful next step
Request a complete-window parts list with motor quantity shown explicitly.
