Begin with a simple supported schedule and manual override when the daily opening and closing times are already clear.
A curtain should not move unexpectedly during a call, a nap or a moment when someone wants privacy. If the household follows a regular morning and evening routine, a schedule can provide most of the desired convenience.
For Curtain 3 or Aqara E1, verify the model's supported scheduling and control setup. A physical control makes exceptions easier: choose a supported SwitchBot control for Curtain 3, or consider the Aqara Mini Switch in a compatible Aqara E1 setup. Any cross-platform arrangement needs separate verification; a shared platform does not necessarily expose the motor's complete feature set.
Add sensing only when it solves a specific problem that time cannot. A simple routine everyone understands can be the better first purchase, leaving room to refine rather than turning each passing movement into a curtain action.
Before you order
- Agree ordinary opening and closing times.
