Xiaomi has launched the MIJIA Curtain Companion which can be hung and used without installation under crowdfunding. The product supports U-shaped, I-shaped, and Roman pole multi-track operations thus ensuring that you won’t need to change your curtain rails to use it. The product carries a retail price of 349 yuan (~$55) while it is on offer for 299 yuan (~$47) during the crowdfunding period. There is a Roman pole version with a crowdfunding price of 349 yuan (~$55).
As stated earlier, the Mijia Curtain Companion does not require a specific type of curtain rail as it can be hung and used immediately, automatically transforming an ordinary curtain setup into smart curtains in seconds. Also, it is compatible with mainstream tracks such as U-shaped, I-shaped, and Roman poles. The Mijia Curtain Companion comes with an automatic gripping fetaure whereby the algorithm intelligently adjusts the fit. 
In terms of control, the gadget supports XiaoAi’s voice assistant control. With this, you can initiate the opening of the curtain with just voice command. With the Mijia app, you can check the curtain status and control the curtain opening and closing ratio.
The curtain companion can also be connected to a Bluetooth mesh gateway which will allow the opening and closing to be timed, among other remote functions. If you need to open and close the curtains in both directions, you can set up group control in the Mijia app but will need two Mijia Curtain Companions to be synced to function together.
Furthermore, the Mijia Curtain Companion has a built-in 6400mAh battery, which can be used for 4 months in normal mode and 6 months in long-range mode, and can pull up to 12kg of curtains.
