RYSE SmartCurtain lets you effortlessly open and close your curtains via a seamless smartphone app. Schedule automation, swipe to adjust, or use voice control for hands-free operation—adding unmatched convenience to your daily routine. Its minimalist design blends into modern home aesthetics, and a quiet motor ensures smooth, unobtrusive movement. Whether you're managing light, privacy, or elevating your living space, SmartCurtain redefines home automation.
Many people—especially seniors and those with disabilities—struggle with manually adjusting heavy or hard-to-reach curtains, limiting their control over light, privacy, and energy use. SmartCurtain solves this by automating curtain control. With app-based scheduling or voice commands, users enjoy effortless access without physical strain, improving independence and comfort while boosting energy efficiency.
Inspired by other RYSE products, SmartCurtain features a clean, monolithic design with soft curves, a matte finish, and a tactile button that enhances its minimal aesthetic. Integrated carabiner hooks offer ease of use, and it can be discreetly installed behind the curtain—making it a seamless part of any modern home.
Installation is quick and hassle-free. The device hooks and locks into place, while a robust motor wheel with a custom rubber grip ensures traction on a wide variety of rod surfaces. A spring suspension mechanism adapts to different rod sizes, making it truly retrofit. The arms, crafted from conductive plastic, transmit signals for precise positional control. Powered by 2x18650 batteries, it delivers up to 8 months of operation on a single charge.
SmartCurtain offers broad compatibility with various rod styles, enhancing its versatility. Designed with the user in mind, it eliminates top-mounted wheels that could catch pocket curtains and incorporates an innovative suspension system that prevents it from getting stuck on rod lips—ensuring smooth, reliable performance. Longer battery life means less downtime, and strong customer support ensures a dependable experience across North America.
RYSE’s design philosophy emphasizes sustainability and convenience. By automating existing curtains, users avoid costly replacements while conserving resources. Its durable motor, modular components, and easy servicing reduce waste and extend product life. We also offer refurbishment options, not just replacements, supporting eco-conscious homes and promoting long-term energy savings.
