Designed for U-shaped or I-shaped tracks, it supports a maximum load of 12 kg and moves at 12 cm/s with three adjustable speed levels for gradual opening in the morning or quick closing in the evening. The integrated 6000 mAh lithium-ion battery provides up to one year of battery life, and the USB-C port allows recharging via power bank or standard power supply: this is what the Aqara E1 smart curtain motor concretely offers. An Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub is required. The Aqara E1 motor is designed to work with Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hubs. Partial compatibility may exist with some third-party Zigbee platforms like Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT, but not all functionalities are guaranteed.
Onboard light sensor and automations based on weather, time, and your other devices
The integrated light sensor automatically triggers the curtains to close as soon as the outdoor light intensity exceeds the threshold configured in the app, without manual intervention. The E1 motor goes further by combining weather conditions, programmed schedules, and other Aqara devices: curtains that open when you wake up, close at sunset, or adjust according to ambient temperature. Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT are supported to integrate these scenarios into your existing ecosystem.
Aqara E1 Smart Curtain Motor: two units per window and synchronized grouping
For windows with curtains opening from both sides, two units can be installed and grouped to open and close simultaneously from a single control. The three-level speed adjustment allows for quiet operation at night and gentle opening in the morning for a more natural wake-up. Weighing 461 grams with dimensions of 140.5 × 96 × 44 mm, the Aqara E1 smart curtain motor integrates discreetly onto the track without altering the visual appearance of the window or requiring additional drilling.
