SwitchBot launches Roller Shade, an adjustable smart roller blind. No more worries about size!

2025/03/11 Checked Switch Taiwan distributor and it has not been introduced yet, so we can only wait patiently~

SwitchBot Recently (2025/03/01) officially launchedThe new adjustable smart roller blind is reportedly the world's first smart roller blind whose size can be adjusted after purchase. This innovative design eliminates the need for consumers to accurately measure window dimensions before purchase. Instead, consumers can adjust the dimensions based on actual needs after purchase, improving installation convenience and applicability. This design greatly reduces the difficulty of traditional customized smart roller blinds, allowing more consumers to easily upgrade their smart home devices.


Flexible size design: Adjustable after purchase to suit a variety of window types

SwitchBot's smart roller blinds come in four adjustable sizes:

  • Size S: Length 580 – 800 mm, price USD $199.99 (approximately TWD $6,400)
  • Size M: Length 800 – 1100 mm, price USD $219.99 (approximately TWD $7,040)
  • Size L: Length 1100 – 1400 mm, price USD $259.99 (approximately TWD $8,320)
  • XL: Length 1400 – 1850 mm, price USD $309.99 (approximately TWD $9,920)

Consumers can choose the style that is closest to the size of their window and install and adjust it precisely by themselves after receiving the product. This design not only reduces the risk of measurement errors, but also avoids the high cost of customized products.

Traditional customized smart roller blinds often require accurate size measurements before purchase. Any errors may result in the blinds being unusable or even requiring returns or re-ordering, a cumbersome and time-consuming process. SwitchBot solves this pain point through its innovative adjustable design, allowing users to adjust the size themselves. Even renters can flexibly adapt to different room types and improve the convenience of installation.


Competitive pricing: cost-effective smart home solution

Compared with other smart roller blinds on the market that cost more than $400 per $, SwitchBot's pricing is quite competitive. For example, IKEA once launched the affordable FYRTUR smart roller blinds, but now it seems that only some regions have stocks left. The starting price of Lutron's recently launched Serena smart roller blinds is still as high as $399 for $. SwitchBot's products provide an entry-level option for smart homes at a more affordable price.

In addition to its low price, the SwitchBot smart roller blind’s diverse control functions also make it an attractive choice on the market. Compared to many traditional smart roller blinds that rely on expensive brand-specific control modules, SwitchBot integrates Bluetooth and the Matter standard, reducing dependence on a specific ecosystem and allowing smart home products from different brands to better communicate with each other.


DIY installation: easy with special tools

SwitchBot adopts DIY installation method and provides adjustable head rail and special cutting tools. The user only needs to adjust the head rail to the appropriate size and use the cutting tool to trim the roller blind fabric to complete the installation. According to the official installation video, the whole process is relatively simple, but it may take some time. This design provides great convenience for people who are not familiar with installation.

DIY installation not only reduces the cost of hiring additional technicians, but also allows users to reinstall themselves if they need to relocate or adjust the decoration in the future, increasing flexibility. SwitchBot also officially provides detailed installation instruction videos to ensure that users can complete the setup smoothly.

SwitchBot smart roller blinds support Bluetooth connection and can achieve Matter protocol compatibility through the SwitchBot Hub 2 hub, and can be integrated with smart home ecosystems such as Home Assistant, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, etc. Users can set roller blinds to open or close automatically according to time, temperature and light conditions, improving home comfort and energy efficiency.

In addition, the roller blind also supports manual control mode. When the user does not want to rely entirely on smart control, it can be operated through the built-in button or remote control. This provides additional convenience for families with elderly people or children.

Can manually matchSmart Home "Ease of Use" Principle, you no longer have to worry about your family members or relatives and friends not being able to use it.


Long-lasting battery with optional solar charging

The roller blind has a built-in battery that can last for eight months on a single charge and can be charged via USB-C. In addition, consumers can also purchase a solar panel worth $$30 to use solar energy to charge the roller blinds, achieving more environmentally friendly energy use.

The solar charging option is particularly suitable for sunny environments, such as office buildings, villas or south-facing rooms, which can effectively reduce dependence on traditional electricity, extend usage time and reduce charging frequency. This not only helps protect the environment, but also makes the operation of smart roller blinds more automated.

Neil strongly recommends solar charging, the user experience is much better than charging! No need to worry about running out of power👍


Quiet operation: no interruption to daily life

SwitchBot particularly emphasizes the silent design of its smart roller blind, with the lowest noise level during operation being only 25 decibels. This means that even if the roller blinds are operated early in the morning or late at night, it will not cause disturbance to family members or neighbors, ensuring the user's quality of life.

This is a big advantage for families who need a quiet environment. For example, if the smart roller blind is installed in a baby room, study or bedroom, the silent operation feature can prevent the motor noise of traditional electric roller blinds from affecting sleep or concentration.


New Solution for Smart Home Curtains

The adjustable smart roller blinds launched by SwitchBot this time provide consumers with a cost-effective smart home solution with its innovative size adjustment design, affordable price, diverse smart functions and easy DIY installation method. Whether you are a smart home novice or an experienced player, this product is worth paying attention to and trying.

This product not only lowers the entry threshold of smart roller blinds, but also provides a more environmentally friendly, quiet and flexible user experience. With the popularization of the Matter standard, the compatibility of SwitchBot smart roller blinds will be further improved, making it an important competitor in the future smart home market.

  • Jerry 2025/04/14Thank you very much Neil for your selfless sharing. The websites you provided are of great help to me. I will save it first and digest it slowly^^ I also look forward to Neil's industry news and teaching articles in the futureHome Assistant Floor plan A new experience in smart home control with visual floor plan! – Home Assistant step-by-step tutorial EP 6
  • Neil 2025/04/13Hi Jerry, I usually get information about HA from these places: Website: – Home Assistant official Release notes – Automata – Home Automation Community – Weijia Home Intelligence FB Group: – Taiwan Home Assistant enthusiasts exchange – Home Assistant YouTube channel: – Smart Home Solver – Everything Smart Home – Home Assistant Programming language: Strictly speaking, YAML is not really a programming language (let me make this clear in case some people mind 🤣), but if we include these data formats or style languages that “look like” programming languages, and sort them by depth of use in HA (the deeper the bottom, the deeper the bottom): – YAML (data format): a language for configuration files used in many places in the HA environment. – CSS (style language): used to adjust the interface style (font size, color, image, position, etc.). – JSON (data format): If you use Node-RED, you will probably come across it. – Jinja2 (Python template syntax): You may encounter it when you explore automation or Dashboard in depth. ※ But in fact, even if HA does not know the above, it can still make a smart home complete. You don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself, but if you are interested, it is also good to know more. It is actually difficult to generalize about the support of devices. Now, even if the home appliances themselves do not support it, there are still many different ways to connect traditional home appliances to HA. In addition, cases like Haier do require in-depth research. What I usually do is to crawl a lot of information on the Internet, and usually find attempts made by others. It just so happens that when I was looking up other information recently, I saw someone sharing how Haier water heaters were connected to HA. But it is indeed like what you said, if you get involved for a while, you will understand these details more and more. 🤣Home Assistant Floor plan A new experience in smart home control with visual floor plan! – Home Assistant step-by-step tutorial EP 6
  • Jerry 2025/04/10Hello Neil: After observing for 1 or 2 days, everything seems to be normal. Maybe it’s because the system was not stable during the initial setup period!? The more I play, the deeper I feel. I also find that I still have many shortcomings. I wonder if Neil can share and teach everyone how to fish? For example, recommend good websites, forums, FB groups, youtube videos, or give some guidance. In addition to the YAML language, would it be helpful to know some CSS syntax? Do I need to know other languages? I can even start a new teaching direction. When I see non-big-name products that claim to support APP (such as products from mainland China), I can teach everyone how to identify whether they can be connected to HA and how to ask customer service? Where can I see supported articles or platforms? This kind of experience sharing, I think, will be very helpful to everyone. I am currently looking to buy a heat pump water heater from Haier. Haier is a big manufacturer in the world and has its own APP. I have also found Haier's kit from HACS, but it does not seem to support heat pump water heaters. Does that mean it cannot be connected to HA? Or is there any channel to check it? There are also many flat panel lights and fan function lamps on the other side of the strait, which also claim to support APP connection, but they are all small manufacturers and it is difficult to tell whether they can be connected to HA. These are the problems I am facing now. If the home appliances I buy are different from what Neil shared, I don’t know where to start. Maybe I'm still too inexperienced. If I play for a few more months, maybe the above problems won't be a problem anymore, haha^^Home Assistant Floor plan A new experience in smart home control with visual floor plan! – Home Assistant step-by-step tutorial EP 6
  • Neil 2025/04/09Hi Jerry, I tested it myself and it was fine, but please note that because it is controlled through the cloud, there is an extra layer of brand mediation, so it is not suitable for fast switching. I tested it myself and it took about 1 second to complete the synchronization after clicking. Remember to put the entity in entities, otherwise the status display may have problemsHome Assistant Floor plan A new experience in smart home control with visual floor plan! – Home Assistant step-by-step tutorial EP 6
  • Jerry 2025/04/07Thanks Neil for clarifying this. I tested it later and found that when using the "button panel" to control the switch of the Electrolux air conditioner (the same model as Neil), the device will respond to turning on or off in about 1 second, but the "status icon" for turning on is much slower, and it takes about 30 seconds. The "status icon" for turning off is normal, and the "status icons" of other negative ion switches and the "status icons" of the monitoring light switch are also normal, which made me think there was a problem with the synchronization. I'll test it again, maybe it's caused by the wrong setting.Home Assistant Floor plan A new experience in smart home control with visual floor plan! – Home Assistant step-by-step tutorial EP 6
  • Neil 2025/04/07Hi Jerry, 1. This method is through cloud integration, which is actually using HA to call Xiaomi/Electrolux to control the device. 2. It is not normal. If this happens, you may need to check whether the entity you display on the floor plan can truly represent the status of the device. If not, you may need to try other entities of the same device.Home Assistant Floor plan A new experience in smart home control with visual floor plan! – Home Assistant step-by-step tutorial EP 6
  • Jerry 2025/04/07The problem is solved. Thanks again to Neil for his help^^ I have two more questions about concepts. Neil, do I have any misunderstandings? 1. I connected Xiaomi and Electrolux devices to HA through HACS. Is it still connected through WiFi? Before connecting, you need to obtain API key and Access Token from the official. This means that the communication between HA and the device still needs to go through the official. It’s just that the official APP can be replaced and all integrated into the HA APP for control? 2. After testing, when controlling the device through physical operation or the original official APP, the HA app cannot know the status of the device synchronously, but it can know the opposite. Is this normal? For example, the Xiaomi electric fan at home was turned on by someone physically before going out, but when the person is outside, he cannot know through the HA app that the device was forgotten to be turned off. He has to connect to the Xiaomi app to know!?Home Assistant Floor plan A new experience in smart home control with visual floor plan! – Home Assistant step-by-step tutorial EP 6
  • Ghost 2025/04/07Xiaomi Home currently does not support Taiwan. For now, you can only use Xiaomi Miot Auto. As for Xiaomi Cloud Map Extractor, I currently have a 2FA problem.
