A retrofit installation for existing curtains
Curtain Track 4 is designed for compatible U-rail tracks and can be installed in as little as 30 seconds. SwitchBot says users do not need to replace their curtains, modify the home, or install positioning magnets.
The robot has a slimmer design that reduces the required wall clearance to 20 mm and dual-track spacing to 40 mm. It can move curtains weighing up to 12 kg, according to the company, allowing the system to support a range of existing curtain setups.
Battery+ and Solar versions reduce maintenance
The Battery+ version combines a built-in battery with a detachable battery module, providing 6,400 mAh of total capacity and up to 12 months of use. Users can remove the module for charging while leaving the motor installed on the curtain track.
SwitchBot says actual battery life varies with curtain weight, travel distance, usage frequency, and operating conditions. The Solar version pairs Curtain Track 4 with a solar panel to reduce manual recharging when sufficient sunlight is available, although solar charging depends on sunlight.
Scheduling, quiet movement and smart home control
Users can schedule curtains to open in the morning or close in the evening. SwitchBot's QuietDrift feature moves curtains at 0.5 cm per second, while self-lubricating rollers are designed to reduce friction and vibration.
A gentle pull activates the motor through Touch&Go. Users can also control the curtains through the SwitchBot app or an optional SwitchBot Remote. With a compatible SwitchBot Hub, Curtain Track 4 supports Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri Shortcuts and SmartThings, along with Matter integration.
Curtains across multiple windows can be included in one routine. SwitchBot says users can create Morning, Sunset or Leave Home scenes without controlling each room separately. The Hub, Remote and other accessories are sold separately unless included in the selected package.
Availability and price
SwitchBot Curtain Track 4 is available from November 11, 2026, through SwitchBot and Amazon. Pricing starts at USD 109.99, CAD 139.99, GBP 99.99 or EUR 99.99.
The product gives owners of compatible U-rail curtains a way to add automated scheduling and smart home control while keeping their existing curtains and track. Its detachable battery module and optional solar configuration also address the upkeep involved in powering a retrofit curtain robot.
