The ZemiSmart Curtain Motor - Retrofit Your Curtains into HomeKit!

ZemiSmart seems to be 2022's Answer to Meross when it comes to turning out HomeKit compatible stuff at such a rapid pace, although many of ZemiSmart's devices already existed a while before. The company's own Zigbee 3.0 hub is the part that is breathing HomeKit life into these products, and with their retrofit solution for opening and closing curtains, this is probably the first device of its type to be officially HomeKit compatible. That said, Aqara is also coming out with its own solution soon, so if you're already deep into Aqara's own ecosystem, it may be better to wait.

One thing to note: Whilst I've been able to test this out with a makeshift curtain setup, I don't have any curtains in the house, so my testing was limited for this device.
