Xiaomi Unveils Smart Curtains That Wake You Up with Sunrise-Style Automation

Xiaomi is expanding its smart home lineup in China with the Mijia Smart Curtain 3 Pro, a new flagship curtain automation gadget that’s now available through crowdfunding. It follows the earlier Smart Curtain 2, which arrived in the Chinese market in 2024, and focuses on quieter performance, more flexible control, and a gentler way to start your day.

Built for convenient everyday use, the Mijia Smart Curtain 3 Pro lets you open and close curtains remotely in several ways. Using HyperOS Connect, you can control it through Xiaomi’s app, speak voice commands, set automated schedules, or use a remote. Prefer a hands-on approach? You can also give the curtain a light tug to trigger motion manually, which makes it feel more natural than a strictly “app-only” smart device.

One of its standout features is a smart wake-up mode designed for morning routines. Instead of snapping the curtains open at once, the system can gradually open them in stages around your selected wake time, helping bring in daylight more gently. Inside the Xiaomi app, users can fine-tune how far the curtains open and close by setting specific start and stop points for each side. There’s also stepless speed control with adjustable movement from 10% to 100%, which is useful if you want a slow, quiet glide at night or faster opening during the day.

Under the hood, Xiaomi says the Smart Curtain 3 Pro uses dual brushless DC motors designed to run quietly while handling heavier fabrics. The system supports curtains up to 60 kg (about 132 lbs), making it suitable for thick blackout curtains as well as wider installations. Another practical touch is independent control for the left and right curtains, giving you more options for balancing natural light and privacy—open one side to reduce glare, for example, while keeping the other side closed.

The track system adds to the premium positioning. Xiaomi describes a two-layer track paired with rubber-coated wheels to help reduce vibrations, which should translate to smoother movement and less noise. The included Wi‑Fi component is also compact—about 59 x 93 x 111 mm (roughly 2.32 x 3.66 x 4.37 inches)—and sized to be easier to hide for a cleaner setup.

Pricing is set to become more mainstream after the campaign. In China, the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Curtain 3 Pro is expected to sell for CNY 999 (around $146) once crowdfunding ends. For now, there’s no confirmed word on an international release, though Xiaomi already sells various smart home accessories in markets like Europe, so a wider rollout remains a possibility.
