What the product is designed to do
The automatic curtain opener is designed to automate heavy curtains in large or high-ceiling spaces. It covers theater stages, auditoriums, home cinemas, luxury homes, and connected smart-home environments.
Also, the motor and reinforced track support heavy blackout drapes and velvet theater curtains. The system can move curtains from a bright-room setting into a fully dark Movie Night environment.
Timed automation supports sunrise and sunset schedules based on local time. In addition, custom schedules let the curtains open or close at selected times.
Touch motion adds another control method. Pulling the fabric 10cm triggers the motor to take over automatically.
