The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
The Aqara Smart Curtain Motor E1 (rod version) holds a 4.1-star verified-purchase average, but on a very small base of around 30 ratings, so its consensus is the least settled in this group. It's the natural pick for households already invested in Aqara: reviewers and the listing itself stress that it requires an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub and will not work with hubs from other brands, while supporting HomeKit, Alexa, and IFTTT once that hub is in place. For non-Aqara homes the SwitchBot options are the easier path.
What reviewers liked
- Strong fit for existing Aqara/Zigbee smart-home setups
- Supports HomeKit, Alexa, and IFTTT through the Aqara hub
- Rod-version design reuses your existing curtain rod
Where it falls short
- Requires an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub and rejects other brands' hubs
- Very small review base (≈30) limits confidence in the rating
- No independent expert or lab testing available for this listing

- Notes
- An Aqara Hub is required and sold separately.(NOTE:Hubs from alternative brands are not compatible.) Requires a secured 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi network connection for Hub M2/ M1S/ E1/M1S Gen2 and Camera Hub G2H Pro/ G2H, and 2.4/ 5 GHz Wi-Fi for Camera Hub G3.(Wired connection via Ethernet RJ45 for Hub M2 is also supported.) Please make sure the firmware for the Aqara Hub and the Aqara Home App have been updated to the latest version.
- Compatiblility
- The Aqara Curtain Motor E1 Rod Version supports most popular rods with uniform thickness and does not support rods with different thicknesses at the ends, such as telescopic or extendable rods. The package includes a "grommet kit". The supported diameter range for rod is 0.99 - 1.25 inches.) Please consult the images and A+ content for comprehensive installation instructions.
- Automate Your Existing Curtain and Proximity
- Effortlessly install the Curtain Motor E1 onto your current curtain track or rod without requiring extra tools. It seamlessly integrates behind the curtain without altering your decor. Besides, for a sturdy connection, ensure that the Aqara Curtain Motor E1 is within 400 inches of the Aqara Zigbee hub, and the hub is within the same range from the Wi-Fi router. Additionally, make sure the hub and the router are on the same local area network (LAN).
- 【Smart Home Automations】The Curtain Motor E1 offers automated control of your current curtains, allowing adjustments based on weather, time, lighting conditions, or other triggered Aqara devices. Customize a sleep-wake routine to align with your personal schedule using the timer feature. Automations via HomeKit, Alexa and IFTTT are supported.(Note: Please connect the Aqara Curtain Motor E1 to Aqara hub before connecting to Apple HomeKit or enabling skills in Alexa.
- 【Long Battery Life】Equipped with a substantial 6000 mAh rechargeable battery, offering up to a year of usage without needing a recharge. (The calculated battery life refers to opening and closing a curtain on a 5 ft track (i.e., 2 curtain drivers per window) once a day, and it also depends on friction, curtain weight and type.) Moreover, the device can be charged via the Type-A to Type-C cable using either a powerbank or a power supply (both not included).
