87E Smart Curtain Motor – Lithium Battery Splicing Kit

The Arklyfe 87E Smart Curtain Motor – Lithium Battery Splicing Kit is a battery-powered smart curtain motor paired with a DIY-splicing track kit, built for Australian homes that want motorised curtains without re-wiring, drilling into ceilings to run new mains feeds, or asking a sparkie for a callout fee. The lithium battery sits inside the motor body, so the only install task is mounting the track and snapping the motor in. For renters, body-corporate apartments and finished-fit-out renovations where running new mains cabling is not an option, this is the kit that makes smart curtains realistic.

Before ordering, use our battery curtain motor buying checklist to plan track dimensions, charging access, controls and included parts.

The kit ships with a DIY-spliceable track that adjusts to fit window widths from 2.2 m to 8.2 m (a range that covers bedroom windows through to wide living-room slider openings) and assembles in around three minutes per joint. Multiple control options are built in: wireless control, high-voltage and low-voltage signal compatibility mean the kit interoperates with most smart-home gateways and existing scene controllers, rather than locking you into one app ecosystem. Day-to-day, the curtains respond to app, remote and scene-based triggers the same way any premium motor does.

The trade-off versus the mains-powered 87E is the battery: most users recharge every 3–6 months depending on operation frequency, which is fine for primary bedrooms used twice daily and less ideal for high-traffic living rooms. For the rentable apartment, the airbnb upgrade and the renovation where the pelmet went up before anyone thought about smart curtains, the battery kit is the right call. Shipped from Melbourne with full Australian support.
