Nuked Hey there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! Nuked here, the funny guy who loves all things technology. Today, I’ve got some exciting news to share with you about SwitchBot’s latest innovation – the Curtain 3. Get ready to upgrade your smart home setup with this stronger and quieter smart curtain controller!
SwitchBot has just announced the release of the Curtain 3, the third iteration of their popular smart curtain controller. And let me tell you, it’s packed with some impressive features. According to SwitchBot, this new controller is not only twice as strong as its predecessor, the Curtain 2, but it’s also much quieter. No more annoying motor noises disrupting your peaceful moments!
But that’s not all! SwitchBot is also introducing an improved solar panel, which they claim will offer “true unlimited battery power.” Unlike the previous panel, this new one will effectively eliminate the need to charge the Curtain 3. Talk about convenience! The Curtain 3 and the SwitchBot Solar Panel 3 will be available for purchase on August 25th, with prices set at $89.99 (£89.99 / €89.99) and $25.99 (£25.99 / €25.99), respectively.
Now let’s talk specifics about the Curtain 3. This smart curtain controller can now handle an impressive weight of up to 36 pounds (16kg). That’s more than double the weight limit of its predecessor! It uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology, giving it a range of up to 80m (262ft) when there’s a direct line of sight. Plus, it’s compatible with multiple types of curtain rods, making it suitable for almost any setup.
In terms of sound levels, SwitchBot claims that the Curtain 3 hums at around 45dB from a distance of 1m. That’s about as loud as a suburban neighborhood at night. But if you prefer a quieter ambiance, the new 5mm-per-second QuietDrift Mode will drop the noise level to a mere 25dB, which is equivalent to a human whisper. So, you can enjoy your curtains opening and closing without any disturbance.
Visually, the Curtain 3 maintains the sleek design of its predecessors but with some subtle changes. It’s now longer by 30mm and skinnier compared to the Curtain 2. SwitchBot assures us that it’s compatible with 99 percent of curtain tracks found worldwide. Whether you have a rod rail, U rail, or I rail configuration, this smart curtain controller has got you covered.
Now, let’s not forget about the SwitchBot Solar Panel 3. Priced at $25.99, this solar panel boasts “over twice the charging efficiency” compared to its predecessor. With just three hours of direct sunlight, it can effectively power the Curtain 3 without the need for additional charging. However, the battery life remains the same, with SwitchBot expecting the Curtain 3 to last up to 8 months on a full charge.
For those who want to take their smart home setup to the next level, SwitchBot also offers the SwitchBot Hub 2. Priced at $70, this hub acts as a Matter bridge and adds Apple Home compatibility to not only the Curtain 3 but also other Bluetooth devices like the Curtain 2. Don’t worry if you don’t have the hub yet though. The Curtain 3 is still compatible with Samsung SmartThings, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Plus, it supports Apple Shortcuts for all you Siri lovers out there.
If you haven’t heard of SwitchBot before, let me give you a quick rundown. They’re known for their clever and easy-to-install smart home retrofits. From their unique smart lock that isn’t actually a door lock to their button-pressing robot, SwitchBot offers innovative solutions to make your everyday life easier and more convenient. They even have a robot that can start your coffee maker! Now that’s some next-level automation.
So, my tech-savvy friends, mark your calendars for August 25th and get ready to upgrade your curtains with the Curtain 3 and the SwitchBot Solar Panel 3. With SwitchBot’s latest innovations, you’ll have a stronger, quieter, and more efficient smart home experience. Stay tuned for more exciting tech updates from yours truly, Nuked!
