Quoya QL600 Smart Electric Curtain Track, Motorized motor, Adjustable track length, compatible with Alexa, google, Siri, Apple Watch (QL600, up to 5 metres)

I was genuinely impressed by the build quality and design of the smart curtain rail. I bought the 3.2m version with the 90 degree bend additional parts so I could install in my bay (see photos). I was worried that adding the extra dimension would complicate the installation so much that it would be beyond my meagre DIY ability and lead to calamity, but I managed surprisingly well. And if I can do it, anyone can!The good - very high quality build, parts fitted and were well designed. As mentioned in other reviews, the written instructions are useless but the videos are excellent - follow them carefully and you can’t go wrong.Some tips - merging the instructions for assembling the 90 degree bend and the standard took a little intuition, but wasn’t too challenging.One piece of constructive criticism - despite the inclusion of a number of smaller track sections to help construct tracks of any size, there was no way to make a track that would fit my space. I suspect that’s quite common. And while they sell additional track, it’s just one of the 1m sections which is no use - I needed more smaller sections. I’d recommend more shorter pieces in the pack in place of one of the 1m sections. Luckily the solution wasn’t too onerous - out came the trusty Dremel and I cut a long piece down to size. It was pretty ragged (have I mentioned I’m crap at DIY?) but didn’t matter in the end, the pulley thing still makes it through that section.One thing to bear in mind - you’re assembling the track face up but you’ll install face down, so the motor will be on the opposite side. Think carefully about which side you want to plug it in and make sure you put the motor on the opposite side as you’re looking at it. I was concerned about the trailing ugly wire and bulky motor. As you can see from the photos, the motor is tucked away in the side of the bay where it won’t be too visible and will hopefully be largely hidden by the curtains. And I installed some trunking to hide the wire. While the wire is fairly long, I did need an extension cable to reach my nearest socket.And a big tip - when installing the drive belt, make sure the two pieces are rolled out into the slots at the top and bottom of the track, not the middle space. I did that by mistake and had to partly disassemble my track to put it right.My biggest worry was in sticking the whole thing to the ceiling, given my chronic lack of skill with such things. One straight track wouldn’t be too bad, but with the curves I was dubious the whole think would snap into the brackets quite as easily as in the video! It did prove the hardest part, and caused some degree of swearing and bickering between myself and my wife. I’d carefully cut the track to a length that fit snuggly into the bay which helped - I could install the brackets pretty much along the very edge of the ceiling so didn’t need to measure distance from the edge. The brackets themselves are flexible as once screwed in place they can slide and rotate somewhat, which is good in case you haven’t quite got them in the right place. Drilling and screwing upwards is a pain, and this caused my biggest problem: because my screws didn’t go in at exactly 90 degrees to the ceiling, when fully screwed in the brackets weren’t completely flush with the ceiling which stopped the track snapping in. I solved it by unscrewing the screws a couple of threads so provide some give. Hopefully that won’t make it fall off the ceiling!The final snap in place was very much a two-persons-shouting-at-each-other job, given the bendy nature of my track and took some effort and several tries. I’d recommend testing each bracket and pair of brackets by snapping in and removing unused track as you go along to make sure they are aligned properly. And putting two or three screws in the bracket nearest the motor, which is very heavy.The final track feels sturdy and secure - haven’t actually got curtains for it yet though, so time will tell!I’ve set it up with my Google home automation system and all is well, the pairing was straightforward.In conclusion - a good system for a good price, straightforward to install. The videos and advertising could perhaps be more forthcoming about the size of the motor and the trailing wire. And it would be better if there were more smaller pieces of track in the pack.

Arrived on schedule. Easy to assemble and install. Very quiet in operation. Works well using either the Android app or the remote control. It can also be operated by giving the curtains a slight tug to start either the opening or closing operation.Very pleased with the price, except for the wall brackets which cost an extra £20 for 5.

I purchased the AT5810 as it was £20 cheaper than the QL600. Both products look the same except for the brackets. Neither come with wall brackets but are available as extras. The AT5810 brackets are visible when fitted unless you have a pelmet. The QL600 brackets are more discreet. Having said that the track was easy to assemble following the videos step by step. Check twice before you cut the belt and a nail file will just take off any edges where the track joins. There is a video that covers that problem. As I don't have a pelmet I contacted customer services who supplied the QL600 ceiling brackets so the overall look for me is nicer. The remote control is good looking and works well. I have never used the Tuya app before but was easy to set up and link to Alexa with the curtains opening/closing at preset times. Overall very pleased with the track and will be buying again.

Its great this models design has been improved from previous generations. On opening the box the first thing I noticed was the white track. Fits in much better with our decoration. Also the chunky connection modules have gone which is no great loss. These have been replaced by internal connection plates that are totally hidden. This all adds up to a much more sleek looking install and one i much prefer. The installation instructions, well videos are much more comprehensive and the content has been expanded to topics such as wrapping the curtain around the track ends for example. Tuya and Alexa integration are good and very easy to configure with everything finding itself extremely easily first time. The 3 meter power cord on the motor is a great improvement from the stubby lead on my previous generation motor.In an attempt to go super slimline the ceiling brackets are a right pain in the arse however. Pretty much impossible to put into position before hand while presenting the track to the ceiling, with no quick release mechanism either. So you are left with fitting the brackets on the track separately and then presenting the whole lot to the ceiling to mark all you drill points. Then doing the same again to screw the whole assembly up in one go, oh and dont move them brackets at all. Certainly a two man job, possibly 3 for longer lengths and infinitely more cumbersome than if they had a quick release type bracket. Thats why i have marked ease of install down, shame as everything else in the install work really well.

Bought this product for the angle bay in the lounge after putting a straight track up in the dining room. The house was built in1907 and I made the mistake of thinking all angle bays are the same. The angle kit has an angle clearly stated as 135degs, my window has the angles at 130degs. This would not be a problem if it was being ceiling fitted as it can be moved to fit . However , my wife wanted full length curtains without the curtains rubbing on the window sill . This was when we moved in years ago and so I constructed a matching sill at the top of the window to match the angle on the original sill and hug the standard curtain rail from the edge which moved the curtains away from the sill . . The difference in angle scuppered my plans to ceiling mount the track under the upper sill and I had to have several tries to get the track to fit in the "least worse" place . It works nicely but the looks I`ve had from my wife were at the best "knowing" and the old adage" measure twice and buy once" has had several airings.

The curtains are very easy to install and have a smooth function, the remote looks good. I haven’t got it to work with Alexa yet but that will come.
