Zigbee & Blinds
Zemismart
Zigbee / Tuya
Specialists in motorised blinds, curtains and shades, plus Tuya Zigbee switches.
Overview
Zemismart is the brand people reach for when they want to automate windows without a professional installation. Its speciality is motorised window coverings - roller blind motors, curtain-track robots, tubular motors for shutters and sliding-door kits - alongside a supporting range of Tuya Zigbee switches. If curtains and blinds are on your automation wish list, Zemismart is one of the most affordable ways to do it.
Most of the range is Zigbee on the Tuya platform, so it runs in the Smart Life app and, importantly for reliability, can be moved onto an open Zigbee hub. That combination - specialist motors at consumer prices, on an open, local-capable protocol - is why Zemismart shows up so often in DIY window-automation projects.
How Zemismart works
Zemismart motors are mostly Zigbee (with some Wi-Fi options), which means they need a Zigbee gateway - a Tuya one for the Smart Life app, or an open hub like Zigbee2MQTT for local control. Once paired, they behave like any other device in your automations: open at a time, a sun position or a scene.
The range covers the main ways a window can move. Roller-blind motors replace or retrofit the mechanism on roller blinds; curtain robots run along an existing or supplied track to draw curtains; tubular motors handle heavier roller shutters; and sliding kits automate doors and panels. Choosing the right type for your window is the main decision.
Because the motors are Zigbee-standard, running them on an open hub gives smooth, instant, offline control and lets them join automations with lights, sensors and heating from other brands. That is the SmartBee approach: cheap specialist hardware, unified and controlled locally.

Zemismart in a real home
The headline use is waking and winding down with the sun. Bedroom curtains that open gently at sunrise and close at dusk change the feel of a home, and are far cheaper to achieve with a Zemismart curtain robot on the existing track than with a fully motorised replacement rail.
Comfort and energy come next. Blinds that close automatically on a hot, sunny afternoon keep a room cooler and cut cooling costs, then open again in the evening - a simple automation tied to time or a light sensor that pays back in comfort every summer.
For larger openings, tubular motors and sliding kits bring the same convenience to roller shutters and patio doors, so security shutters can close at night on schedule and open in the morning without anyone touching them. Grouped together, a whole home's windows can move as one on a single routine.
What to know before you buy
The most important step is measuring and matching. Window coverings vary enormously, so confirm the motor type, size and mounting suit your specific blind, curtain track or shutter before buying - a roller motor and a curtain robot are not interchangeable. Zemismart lists compatibility, and a careful measure avoids the occasional ill-fitting purchase.
Also decide on power and protocol up front. Some motors are battery or rechargeable for easy retrofit, others are wired for permanent installs; and while the Zigbee models run locally on an open hub, that is worth planning from the start if offline reliability matters. Getting these two choices right makes the install straightforward.
Works with
These are the hubs, apps and ecosystems the range connects with. Zigbee models in particular can run on an open hub for fully local control, which is the approach we recommend for a reliable SmartBee build.
Getting started
Measure your window
Pick a roller motor, curtain track or tubular motor to fit.
Install & pair
Fit the motor and pair it via a Zigbee gateway.
Automate by time or sun
Open and close on schedule, sunrise or presence.
Frequently asked questions
Can Zemismart fit my existing curtains?
In many cases yes. Curtain robots and motorised tracks are designed to retrofit existing curtain setups, though you should check that your rail type and size are compatible before buying.
Are Zemismart motors Zigbee?
Most are Zigbee on the Tuya platform, with some Wi-Fi options. The Zigbee models can run locally on an open hub such as Zigbee2MQTT, which gives smooth, offline control.
Do the motors need wiring?
It varies. Some Zemismart motors are battery or rechargeable for easy retrofit, while others - especially heavier shutter and tubular motors - are wired for a permanent install.
What can I automate with Zemismart?
Roller blinds, curtains, roller shutters and sliding doors, on schedules, sun position or scenes. A common setup opens bedroom curtains at sunrise and closes blinds on hot afternoons to keep rooms cool.
Do I need a hub for Zemismart?
The Zigbee motors need a Zigbee gateway - a Tuya one for the Smart Life app, or an open hub for local control. Any Wi-Fi models connect directly to the router instead.
