Curtain 3 from SwitchBot fits the rod or U Rail already hanging in your window, handles up to 3 m of track and runs on a USB-C rechargeable battery rated at up to 8 months. The app works over Bluetooth. A SwitchBot hub, sold separately, adds Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Apple Home, which gets Matter through a Hub 2. Home Assistant talks to it directly over Bluetooth.

| Platform | Works? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | The motor isn't itself Matter-certified as far as we found. SwitchBot lists Curtain 3 under Matter over Bridge, so Matter comes through a SwitchBot hub.[5] |
| Apple Home | Via SwitchBot Hub 2 | SwitchBot says Curtain 3 supports HomeKit via Matter with a Hub 2. Its Matter list also names Hub Mini Matter Enabled, Hub 3 and AI Hub as bridges.[1],[2],[5] About the SwitchBot Hub 2 (US) |
| Google Home | Via SwitchBot hub | SwitchBot's spec sheet lists Google Assistant with a SwitchBot hub required; its setup guide names Hub Mini, Hub 2, Hub Mini Matter Enabled and Hub 3.[1],[4] |
| Amazon Alexa | Via SwitchBot hub | SwitchBot's spec sheet lists Amazon Alexa with a SwitchBot hub required; its setup guide names Hub Mini and Hub 2.[1],[3] |
| SmartThings | Via SwitchBot hub | SwitchBot lists SmartThings under voice control, with a SwitchBot hub required.[1],[2] |
| Home Assistant | Yes | Home Assistant's SwitchBot Bluetooth integration lists Curtain 3 as a cover and connects locally, without SwitchBot Cloud. The Home Assistant host needs Bluetooth.[6],[7] |
“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.
Specs that matter for setup
- Radio: Bluetooth 5.0 with long-range transmission, per SwitchBot's spec sheet; no range figure is given.
- Hub: SwitchBot describes app control of opening, closing and position, and says a hub (sold separately) is needed for voice control, Matter and Apple Home. Its page also marks app control from another room as needing a hub.
- Local control: Through Home Assistant's Bluetooth integration, which doesn't use SwitchBot Cloud. SwitchBot's own pages don't describe local control.
- Moves: Sold in Rod and U Rail versions; one motor runs on up to 3 m of track.
- Fits your existing curtain or blind: A motor that fits the curtains and rod or track you already have.
- Power: 3,350 mAh lithium-ion battery, rated at up to 8 months (one open and close a day, 8 kg curtain, 3 m track). Solar Panel 3 is sold separately.
