Aqara Curtain Driver E1 (Rod)

Zigbee2MQTT / ZHALocal control

Zigbee

Verified July 2026

Hangs off a standard curtain rod and drags the fabric along — a proper SwitchBot Curtain rival that runs on Zigbee instead of Bluetooth, which many HA users find more reliable at range. No Aqara hub needed if you run Zigbee2MQTT; a track version (£89.99) covers rail-mounted curtains.
