Curtains up to 15 kg on a rod or rail are what Curtain 3 is built for in the UK. It runs on a rechargeable battery and answers to the SwitchBot app over Bluetooth. A SwitchBot Hub adds voice control, and a Hub 2 bridges it to Matter for Apple Home; Home Assistant needs no hub.

Ecosystem compatibility
| Platform | Works? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | Not Matter-certified itself. SwitchBot lists it under Matter over Bridge, which needs a Matter-enabled SwitchBot hub (Hub Mini Matter Enabled, Hub 2, Hub 3 or AI Hub). No CSA listing names the curtain.[3] |
| Apple Home | Via SwitchBot Hub 2 | The UK page says that with a Hub 2 (sold separately) it supports Matter and works with Apple HomeKit. SwitchBot's Matter guide names Hub 2 as the Apple Home bridge and says a HomePod or Apple TV is needed as the Matter controller.[1],[4] |
| Google Home | Via SwitchBot Hub | The UK page says Google Home voice control needs a SwitchBot Hub (sold separately) without naming a model. SwitchBot's Matter guide also names Hub 2 as a Matter bridge to Google Home.[1],[4] |
| Amazon Alexa | Via SwitchBot Hub | The UK page says Alexa voice commands need a SwitchBot Hub (sold separately); it does not name a model.[1] |
| SmartThings | Via SwitchBot Hub | The UK page lists SmartThings with a SwitchBot Hub (sold separately). SwitchBot's Matter guide names Hub Mini Matter Enabled, Hub 2, Hub 3 and AI Hub as Matter bridges for SmartThings.[1],[4] |
| Home Assistant | Yes | The official SwitchBot Bluetooth integration lists Curtain 3 as a Works with Home Assistant certified device and adds a cover entity. It needs Bluetooth on the Home Assistant host, no SwitchBot hub.[5] |
“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
