Home > Learning Zone > Home automation : Hacking the Autoglide 5100

Hacking the Autoglide 5100

The Autoglide 5100 electric curtain track is a robust and reliable piece of kit. It will open and close your curtains quickly and quietly, regardless of how heavy they are. You know it's serious about doing its job well when it comes with a 5 year warranty as standard. If you want to get an automatic curtain opener, the 5100 is the one to get.

The available controls are great for the majority of users.. wireless wall buttons, remotes and timers, but sometimes, if you're a home automation enthusiast, you want more.

You might have wired up your whole house to have the lights come on when you enter a room, or automatically turn on the ultrasonic misters in your gourmet mushroom growing shed every few hours.

Some people go to the next level and get into the nitty-gritty of wiring up their own relays to allow them to control much more through their home automation system.

If this is you, it's likely you know what you're doing when it comes to home automation.

While we can't give you a step by step guide here on how to go about wiring an Autoglide 5100 into your own system, there are plenty of discussions about it on the internet.

Take a look at https://www.avforums.com/threads/silentgliss-curtain-rail-automation.2079245/

People have found wiring diagrams and connected their electric curtain tracks up to Arduinos and all sorts of controllers.

Once you understand the control signals, the curtain track world is your oyster.
