Curtain Controller
A curtain controller motorizes existing curtains, blinds, or shades. It opens and closes window coverings on schedule, by sunlight, or by presence, with no rewiring of the home.
A curtain controller adds a motor to window coverings you already own. Track and rod versions drive curtains; roller versions handle shades. Each reports position back to Home Assistant, so automations can set any opening level, not just fully open or closed.
How Selora AI uses curtain controllers
- Daylight automation that opens coverings at sunrise and closes them at sunset.
- Thermal control that closes shades on hot afternoons to cut cooling load, or opens them for passive solar heat.
- Privacy and presence recipes that close everything when the home is set to away or at a fixed evening hour.
Quiet, battery or wired
Battery-driven models install in minutes and recharge every few months; wired models never need charging. Both keep working locally over Zigbee even when the internet is down.
