Quoya QL500 Smart Curtains System, Electric Curtain Track with Automated Rail【Motorized and Adjustable Tracks/Rod/Pole 【Motor compatible with Alexa, Google, Siri】(up to 196 inches / 5 metres)

Love it! Has made my life a bit easier. Works great. Integrated with my Alexa so I open and close with voice commands. Scheduler is great and closed blinds for me every evening without me having to ask. One of my favorite home automation products at home! Not too difficult to install. Installation videos were easy to follow. First one took about an hour. Others took 30 minutes-ish. Rod isn't ugly, but isn't super attractive, so I built a few valence boxes to hide it. Turned out great.

This system is quiet, reliable and solidly built. I bought the 16 foot size, for a fairly heavy curtain, and was concerned it might not handle the weight, and I am very pleased. It is made of thick aluminum, with strong connectors between track segments. The motor, track bands, hangers are well made and strong. The assembly was not intuitive, but they provided a number of video instruction links which were clear. All hardware was provided however because my curtains are 16 feet long, it was short some hangers which were not available for this model thru Amazon. I emailed the company and they sent me more hangers free. The price is great compared to the alternatives. Delivery time was short (I had to wait anyway until my wife was out of town to put it up). I assembled and mounted the whole thing myself, but I recommend having an assistant to make it easier. Overall, a fun project, and great result at an excellent price!

This is my second motorized curtain rod. Quoya is a different brand from my first rod, but otherwise it is identical (even developed with the same software), so I ordered from Quoya simply because it was $40 less expensive than the other brand. I made a video to show you the curtains, how they work, and what I like/dislike. I also summarized it here. I love being able to set the curtains (in the app) to automatically open and close every day. And the cool factor. These motorized curtain rods are Just.Plain.Cool. I had a huge advantage with assembly because I was already familiar with the installation. Quoya provides links In the instruction manual and on the Amazon product page, to VERY HELPFUL videos on assembly and installation. I never read any written instructions—based on other reviews, I knew the videos would be the most helpful. I am a “senior” female, but fairly handy—I assembled and hug the rod by myself. It is VERY IMPORTANT to watch the assembly videos. I watched before I began, and watched again during assembly, pausing regularly to follow the instructions and then resumed the video. The downside of a video, is that it goes too fast to follow on a step by step basis; all that pausing and restarting was a bit of a pain, but still the video was hugely helpful. With my first rod assembly, I made a minor mistake which was to insert both the two wheeled pulleys into the rod the wrong way. I had to partially disassemble the rod to correct that and put it back together again. But it was not difficult or time-consuming to do that. I knew to pay more attention to the video with the Quoya rod, and it was very smooth and quick to assemble. I hung this rod on the wall and not the ceiling. The seller provides 5 wall brackets, 10 screws, and 10 plastic drywall anchors (each bracket takes 2 screws). The drywall anchors are a little flimsy, so be careful when you push them into the wall to not compress, squish, or bend them. A complaint is that they do not give you any sort of cover to hide the screws which are exposed on each bracket. Those exposed screws make the bracket look a little unfinished. Also, I hung the curtains using pinch-pleat drapery clips high enough so that when the curtain is closed, the top edge of the curtain hides the motorized curtain rod. However, when the curtain is open, you can see the rod. The rod is not pretty like a lot of decorative rods are—so I might need to have another project to build (or buy) a cornice to hide this rod. I wish they would make the rods a little more decorative looking. I had no trouble attaching the motor and using the remote control. Very smooth operation. Works very well. To operate the motorized rod with your phone, you can use either the TuyaSmart app or the Smart Life app. They seem identical in all respects. I prefer the Smart Life app because I already had other smart devices on that app. Either one is easy to operate. The app includes a timer feature which is very handy. You can set seemingly unlimited times of day (for whatever days of the week) to adjust the curtains to close at any % you want. Oddly, to set the timer to automatically *open* the curtains, the setting in the app is that the curtains need to be set to 0%. The only way that makes sense to me is to think of the % as representing the amount that the curtains are *closed*. So 0% means they are closed 0% (which means they are open all the way). They can be set to open/close at any % from 0 to 100. I can also use the app when I am away from home to adjust the curtain. I followed the instructions to set up the integration with Alexa. It was not hard, but I am *disappointed* in everything to do with integration with Alexa—it all needs developmental improvement. First, Alexa operation is verbal only (cannot operate with the Alexa app). That means you can use Alexa only when you are home within voice range. In order for Alexa to understand the verbal instruction, I have to say something very awkward: “Alexa, tell TuyaSmart to TURN ON the bedroom curtains” It is just not natural or logical to “turn on” curtains. And then to close the curtains, I have to say: “Alexa, tell TuyaSmart to TURN OFF the bedroom curtains.” You CANNOT ask Alexa to open the bedroom curtains 50% or half way or any other partial opening. The only way to do that is to use the TuyaSmart app (or the Smart Life app) or the remote control. Overall, I love this motorized curtain rod. I love having the curtains open and close automatically at a designated time of day. If I want to see the stars at night, I can ask Alexa to ....tell TuyaSmart to turn on the curtains (which is just weirdly worded but still convenient to have her do it). It operates /well and is reliable so far. The instructions videos are a great help. Take your time. I liked these rods so much that I bought a second one. I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you!

Amazing product - purchased in 2022 - I'm not really a "reviewer" of products, but I have to say that I'm super thankful for this. Works like a charm everytime. Not intuitive to setup. I kept it together in the move from one apartment to another so that I didn't have to set it up again. My W.Elm curtain rod is real pain compared to this contraption. This curtain rod motor thingy is a simple creature comfort that brightens your day with a push of a button - I highly recommend :)

VERY VERY POOR QUALITY!! BUYER BEWARE!!! THIS PRODUCT IS A SCAM AND THIS WORKED FOR ALL OF 10 SECONDS. I WAITED TO FINISH MY LIVING AREA TO ASSEMBLE IT. I HAD A DEW MONTHS LEFT ON THE WARRANTY AND WHEN IT DIDNT WORK I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SELLER. THEY REQUESTED PURCHASE DATES AND AFTER I TOLD THEM; THEY IGNORED ME UNTIL IT PASSED. I HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM SINCE. THE TRACK DOESNT WOEK PROPERLY. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED WHEN I PRESSED THE CLOSE BUTTON AND IT WOULDNT MOVE. THAT WAS CHRISTMAS LAST YEAR AND ITS STILL STUCK IN THAT POSITION. WE ARE PLANNING TO DISMANLTE IT, SEAL THE FRAME WHOLES AND TOSS THE PIECE OF CRAP IN THE TRASH.

When assembled, they work great and reliably. They are quiet and smooth, and awesome. They can be opened by manually pulling the curtains a little until the motor kicks in, by the included remote control, by the app, or by Alexa. Some of the reviews here mentioned that they cut the belt short due to confusing instructions. I think the instructions have been redone since earlier models because they are now quite different to what was described in reviews, and mostly just direct you to the Youtube videos. The Youtube videos are very easy to follow and are 100% correct for both single track and dual opening setups. Also, if in doubt, you can always leave the belt a little longer when you first cut and measure how much more you need to cut. The only issue I had with installation was that the included drywall anchors were a little flimsy and one of them started to come out from the wall, so I ended up replacing them with some stronger anchors. A note on Alexa commands. To open and close the curtains you need to say awkwardly "Alexa, turn on the curtains" or "Alexa, turn off the curtains." However, this is easily remedied by creating a routine that opens/closes the curtains when you say "Alexa, open/close the curtains"

One of the best Home Improvement products I’ve ever used. Operates well, is quiet and simple to use. The instructions are a bit vague, but the videos are good and essential. One quarter of the price I was quoted by curtain shop.

Il montaggio è pratico; dentro la confezione oltre a 2 pezzi lunghi un metro, ci sono altri pezzi di binario di diverse dimensioni… 50cm, 20cm, 10cm… così da adattarlo a varie lunghezze… altrimenti frullino. Funzionamento silenzioso. Si utilizza con telecomando, a mano (basta una pressione alla tenda ed il motore si attiva) con Alexa e tramite App (Smart Life). Apprendimento automatico dei fine corsa e riduzione della velocità prima di arrivare a "battuta". Il motore si può montare in entrambi i versi (alto o basso) ed è possibile inverire l'impostazione predefinita di chiusura ed apertura. Si monta sia a binario singolo che a doppio binario. In dotazione tutti gli accessori (escluso le paperelle). Consigliato Per glu amanti della domotizzazione un vero incanto.

I was very impressed with the quality of the product and the ease of installation and set-up. There are some very useful videos to help with the installation process. It's working flawlessly, automatically closing the curtains at dusk and opening them at 08:30 in the morning. The only (small) criticism is that it is a bit chunky, but at less than half the price of some of the better-known brands I'm prepared to live with that.

The setup was easy and the instructions were fine. I didn't find the instructions vague or confusing, but the videos online show the steps in crystal clarity if you are ever unsure. The scariest part of the setup process was cutting the belt to fit your preferred setup, but they provide the measuring tools and a guarantee of sending you a new one if you do make a mistake. I used the full length of mine, but I think you can omit one of the rods to make it shorter if necessary (although I don't know the exact dimensions). It works wonderfully and isn't loud at all, just a quiet whispering noise. It's not unexpected, but I did have to buy hooks for my curtains, as they do not come with this kit. The belt just has rings on it to hook into, not actual hooks. I've seen other reviews say these do not work with grommets but I was able to hang grommets on it using larger S hooks. It's probably not 'proper' but as long as they hang it works just fine! As others have mentioned, the buttons work in reverse by default. It's possible I put something together backwards, but I think that's just the way it is to start. There are instructions for how to reverse this, but I fiddled with it a bit and only ended up un-pairing the remote (it was easy to pair again), so we just push close to open the curtains now. If I were more determined I think I could get them to reverse properly. One caveat with the motorized curtains is that you lose the ability to open only one side of them. You can use the remote to stop them for a partial open, though, and you can set them to manual, but because they're attached to a belt both sides will move together now. Altogether, I am happy I don't have to climb over the couch to open or close the curtain anymore!

Très bon produit, tutoriels de montage parfaits. Je recommande vivement.
