Especially when you need a nap in the middle of the day and have to get up to draw the curtains, it really ruins your mood. Today's smart electric curtains are perfect for lazy people. With just a click or a call on your phone, you can do it without even getting out of bed. But with so many options on the market, which ones are truly reliable? We compared mainstream products and found that some are indeed much more convenient than manual curtains, offering exceptional user-friendly features from installation to operation. Best of all, you don't have to worry about them gathering dust; those who have used them say they can't live without them. Want to know which products are both practical and worry-free?
Choose electrophoretic silent curtain tracks instead of regular ones.
My living room windows are nearly 4 meters high, and the curtains are quite heavy. I use electrophoretic silent curtain tracks, which are very quiet and smooth, unlike regular tracks that require a lot of effort and make a lot of noise when adjusting heavy curtains.
Choose one that connects to a mobile app, ❌ not one that only uses a remote control.
Now I use my smart assistant to control the curtains every day, eliminating the need to manually pull them. It saves time and effort, and even my teammates regret not installing electric curtains in their bedrooms. If I only chose one that requires a remote, I'd have to worry about searching for the remote every day.
Choose one with sliders, ❌ not one without.
⭐️ With sliders, the curtains can completely cross each other when closed, eliminating the 1-2 cm gap that allows light to leak in. Without sliders, the curtains can easily become loose, allowing light to seep in.
Choose one with a plug-in motor, ❌ not one with a rechargeable motor.
⭐️ Before installing electric curtains, you need to do your homework and have a power source available to use plug-in models. Rechargeable models are not only more expensive and less cost-effective, but also require you to take them down and charge them periodically, which can be quite a hassle.
Benefits of Smart Curtains
Convenience
First and foremost, convenience is paramount. Imagine a cold winter morning when you just don't want to leave your warm bed to draw the curtains. Or on a scorching summer day, you're too lazy to block out the glare of the sun. A simple tap of a remote control or phone could instantly elevate your quality of life by letting the curtains open and close automatically.
Home Automation
If you're interested in smart homes and already own some smart home devices (such as smart speakers and smart light bulbs), smart electric curtains are a great addition. They can integrate with other devices to create a variety of scene modes. For example, setting "Movie Night" mode dims the lights and gently closes the curtains, creating a truly atmospheric atmosphere.
Energy Saving and Environmental Protection
Smart curtains can also help save energy. With a timer function, they can automatically close during direct sunlight to reduce air conditioning load, and open at night to let in natural light and reduce lighting needs. This can save you a lot of money on your electricity bill over time!
Conclusion
In short, smart electric curtains can indeed bring convenience and comfort to everyday life, especially for those who value a sense of technology and a high-quality lifestyle. Ultimately, the decision depends on your needs and financial situation.
