Tuya Smart Curtain Robots (Hey Google, OPEN CURTAINS)

A short review of the Tuya smart curtain robots that can be used with the Tuya Smart app or Google Assistant and Alexa. NOTE: There are several versions now available. A Smart Gateway is required if using the Bluetooth version and it is sold seperately. The WiFi version is more reliable and does not require a Gateway to be purchased as a dongle gateway is supplied.

    What type of Gateway are you using? Generally you just open up the gateway in the app and add the Curtain Robots to the gateway. Once added they can then be controlled using Alexa or Google, hope that helps

    Sorry I don't really understand your question. Is it the Gateway that you are trying to add to the Smart Life app? What gateway are you using and what curtain robots are you using?

    Yes, but for the smoothest operation its better to join the rods together in the middle if possible, thats what i did and it was worth the effort. You might be able to see what i mean in my smart home tour video here kzread.info/dash/bejne/rGyEpJSGmbnUqJc.htmlsi=oEzxSFSmQPpRlkjo

    If you have to you can but once installed there not designed to be moved manually so be very slow and gentle or you will damage the gearboxes in the robots. Not recommended

    Hi. May I ask, I bought 1 pair wifi version. it only have 1 gateway in this set. But I can't control this robot seperately. They paired together and on my apps only 1 device appeared and only 1 control button which operate both robots together. Is there any way I can control this seperately?

    You need to buy another dongle if you want to separate them because the dongle is what is used to communicate with 1 pair so no way to separate that communication link for 2 separate robots. I think the dongle is very cheap though 🤔

    @beehomestay no, you only need 1 gateway however I would recommend staying with the wifi version because they are alot more reliable then the Bluetooth version from my experience. I personally only use the wifi version now and it was the best decision I ever made

    Do you really have to charge it every month?

    At the time of this video these bluetooth curtain robots were a new design and yes I had to charge them about every 4-6 weeks. Eventually I ended up throwing these away in the end as they became so unreliable and later I upgraded to the WiFi version which I haven't charged in about 4 months and they have been very reliable. I don't recommend buying this old model bluetooth version. I need to update this video with a newer one for the WiFi curtain robots unless the newer bluetooth version is better, they have released a few updated versions since this video but I have not tested any of them so cannot comment on that but the WiFi version I have and I highly recommend.

    If you dont use a gateway you will find it very frustrating and very unreliable. The wifi version is way more reliable then the Bluetooth version and the wifi version comes with the gateway in the box. I highly recommend always using a gateway

    @joelevi9823 even if your just using the phone app you will still need the gateway. If you don't use a gateway you will have many connection problems between your phone and the robot. Yes it can work without the gateway but you will experience lots of connection problems. Buy and use the gateway or you will be very disappointed Without the gateway the curtain robot is not worth buying and a waste of money

Click the link and buy the wifi version, it comes with everything you need and will be more reliable then the Bluetooth version. a.aliexpress.com/_mL60ebY
