I got two of the above for rod curtains. I could get both to show in the switchbot integration and each show five entities and accurate battery info. Only one will move.

I got the switchbot app and they both worked. They are not great, I have calibrated them manually three times after five failed attempts at smart calibration where they just kept driving against the fully open position.

Could any one advise on thos product? I just want to operate them remotely. Without cloud or addotional apps.

I dont have any magnet, they seem to calibrate based on distance set and then rpeat that distance in either direction to open or close.

The curtains are short and light, they are cheap and grommet style. Not any fancy fabric weight. Think kids room cartoon animal curtains.

Tbh I am giving up on them they are clunky and not a great addition. I can't be sure they will either open or close. And they are louder than I thought
