Curtains

Kits for self-assembly of smart homes have appeared quite a long time ago by the standards of the development of modern technologies. But they offer little really useful - the inclusion of light on cotton or movement, video surveillance and much more does not require such costs and efforts. However, there are correct movements in this direction: Aqara has created a unique ecosystem in which more and more advanced devices appear to solve real problems, and not pampering. For example, motors for automating curtains, colloquially referred to as "smart curtains": with their help you can not only simplify your life, but also improve your own well-being. In the assortment of the Russian branch of Aqara, 2 options for automating curtains are available: one is designed to control roller blinds (conventional, Roman, "day-night"), the second - classic sliding ones. Today we will deal with the second, the most interesting and technically difficult. The set of "smart curtains" consists of a special cornice with a set for mounting on a wall or ceiling and a motor Aqara Curtain Controller for Curtains  control, in which the "brains" are hidden. The principle of operation is surprisingly simple: a V-belt "runs" inside the cornice, eerily similar to the timing belt. It is attached to the carriage, which opens the curtains. The stepper motor is responsible for the movement, the belt scrolling back and forth is realized with the help of gears (more precisely, the one into which it will be connected), hidden in the end part. The belt "runs" perfectly. Moreover, the de-energized cornice also works, you can close it manually. And if it works, but you want to draw the curtains yourself - too. And nothing will break. Aqara engineers did their best for us: the buyer does not need to think about how the hardware works. You buy, put it and it works. Out of the box, with virtually no settings. Like an ordinary curtain for curtains. Everything is thought out so that the curtains completely cover the windows - it turns out better than with ordinary curtain rods. And when the smart control system gets down to business ... The motor looks completely different from how you imagine a device for controlling such a familiar thing as curtains. This is an electric motor in an all-metal protection with a wire for connection to the junction box. One and a half kilograms, which are not afraid of cold, humidity and dust (afraid of water, you cannot wash and expose to rain) https://jiji.ug/wakiso/decor-accessories/curtains-bwWd6NgqvQhZKWGySi6nv8ca.html
