Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out a solution for a curtain that needs to cover a wall longer than 10 meters in my home. The only railing I've found that exceeds this length is from Home Depot, but it's not motorized. I was considering using something like a SwitchBot or Aqara Curtain Driver E1, but I read that their range is limited to about 3 meters. Does anyone know of any options for a curtain that's either 10 meters or even up to 30 meters long that can be motorized, or a good pre-made solution? Thanks for your help!

I actually made my own curtain rod using metal electrical conduit. It's sturdy and works for me! Just a thought if you're up for some DIY.
I did some searching and found a site that offers automatic curtain systems up to 36 feet! Check out this link: [automaticcurtain.com](https://automaticcurtain.com/?product=cl-920c4-single-track-systems). Might be what you're looking for!
That sounds great! I’d love to know if it’s possible to have the curtain stop every half meter to help with lighting control. Anyone tried that?
I went with a 30-foot triple track from IKEA for my curtain, and it works like a charm! It wasn't too pricey and has been running smoothly, though it's manual. If you’re set on going motorized, it might be worth looking into adapting something similar.
Have you ever thought about adding a motor to it? I found that stationary motors with pulleys have a limitation of about 8 meters, so I'm curious if you’ve tried any workarounds.
What’s the name of that 30-foot rail? I’d love to check it out!
Awesome find! Thanks for sharing.
