As seen on:
Do you struggle waking up in the morning?
Do you have a south-facing window and want to save money on cooling?
Do you know someone who is disabled and has difficulty moving around?
Do you ever want instant privacy in your home?
Do you hate when people look into your home at night?
Do you wish people couldn't tell when you were on vacation?
The MorningRod will help with all of that. It is a smart curtain rod that automatically opens and closes your curtains for you.
The design is very modern, attractive, looks great in any home and uses off-the-shelf curtains with grommets that can be purchased for $18 on Amazon.
It will open all your home curtains every morning, letting light into your home and waking you up.
Use Alexa, and it will close your curtains in 5 seconds whenever you need instant privacy.
It figures out the exact sunrise and sunset time of each day and keeps your curtains closed when it gets dark, no matter what time it is.
It will change your life.
Built-in Scheduler
The easiest way to use the MorningRod is to set OPEN and CLOSE times in the app. Set the MorningRod to open at sunrise each weekday morning but then at 8am on the weekends! You do not need to mess with any other integrations to make it work.
MQTT + Home Assistant
The MorningRod has built-in support for Home Assistant using MQTT. To set it up, simply fill in the fields in the app
IFTTT
Want even more control? Use IFTTT to trigger the MorningRod to open and close with any other device including Alexa and Google Home.
What size do I need?
Every window is unique!
However, the maximum curtain opening is 88". If your window is wider than that, the curtains will overlap your window opening by several inches. This is usually not a problem.
When you purchase the MorningRod, the brushed aluminum is cut to fit your window. We will follow up with you after you place your order to get your window size.
If your window will not work for some reason, we will refund you right away.
If you have a unique window or want some feedback on your window, just email us at daniel@valarsystems.com and I'll be happy to help.
What curtains does it require?
You need to use curtains with back tabs. Once you place your order, we will let you know the best size curtains to purchase. They are very affordable, starting at $18 online.
To find the size you need, do the following:
1) Measure your window size
2) Divide this size in 2
3) Add 10 inches to the number you just divided
4) Now you have the minimum size per panel! Make sure you buy 2 of these panels
Tip: try to buy the closest size you can to this, but not smaller.
For example, if you window is 50", you divide this by 2, which is 25", then we add 10" to 25", which is 35". However, maybe you only see 34" and 44" panels online. Be sure to go up and buy 44".
