    SwitchBot Hub 2 review - • You won’t BELIEVE What...
    Welcome back to Stu’s Reviews! Today I take a look at the SwitchBot curtain robot 3 (rod type), testing it against the switchbot curtain 2 to find out if the new improvements have actually made it better. These have always been a great way to add smart home automation to any pair of not-smart curtains, but is the SwitchBot Curtain Rod 3 worth the upgrade?

    Thanks for the review sir, just to check if all i want to do is have them on a timer, so open at 7 close at 10, is all that is required is the device itself and the app?

    So you need a sb hub to have scheduled opening/closing ? And the robot itself only supports bluetooth not wifi?

    I'm confused w it being able to move 15kg? So it rolls a curtain unlimited distance as long as the curtains don't exceed the weight of 15kg? Its ability to roll is not limited by the curtan's length but the curtain's weight?

    I'm strongly considering purchasing these. The main thing holding us back are concerns around long-term mechanical reliability/function.
    Are you still using these? If so, how are they doing 6 months later? Is the sound still what you described in this video?
    If there's a follow up vid, I (personally) would be very interested.

    Does it work through the wifi? As I doubt it will find a hub in our house

    Can it go over extendable rods that have dips in them? I've heard the last one can't?

    • @StusReviewsUK

      According to their website it can - although we dont have any rods like that to test unfortunately

      Just bought one. It goes over the extendable rods with an adapter piece. It's ugly, but it works.

    Hmm you’re looking at around 240 quid to have this handle one set of curtains. Plus the hub is needed to use it with Alexa, that’s not a cheap solution.

    Am i right in assuming this is £180 for one set of curtains as you need 2x motors (1 for each curtain side), if so thats a bit pricey??? are you all rich in Wales

    I’m super annoyed I bought a pair of curtains 2 due to camelx3 notification of discounted price. The quieter moving curtain would amazing to have and matter support as well would be great.

      Even better, if you’re insistent on carrier pigeon, driving your steam powered car to work and forcing your children to write on a chalk and slate… maybe don’t watch videos about smart home and home automation… but you do you! 👌
