I was doing some research on motorized curtains. I’d like to get a kit that includes the motor and track. I’m only seeing 2 options here that have both. Zemismart and Aquara. Are either of these natively compatible with HE and do they connect directly or require an additional hub.
Thanks in advance.

SmartWings just added a some Curtain options, see:
I use a track with a clip on motor. The motor is a Dooya model (DT52S I think). Track and motor will be available on Aliexpress. I connected the motors (230v) to Qubino Z Wave shade modules. Ive also got switches connected to those modules so that everything works even if the hub was down. I’ve had my curtains automated with that setup for 5 years without issue.
The smart wings looks pretty good. About 40 percent more than Aquara. But if compatible then worth the extra.
I've had good luck with the ZemiSmart curtain openers and the community driver.
Battery life has been good, they stay connected and never fail to open/close.
Edit: I combined them into one device with an app/driver combo, based on the community driver, if you end up going ZemiSmart. It is very handy to have them act like one shade device for automations.
I have several of their various blinds/shades - Both Matter and Zwave.
I have no direct experience with the Curtains, but I am considering them.
Bottom line, their fairly new, so YMMV
Appreciate the information. Is it a direct connect to Hubitat or a Tuya hub required?
Thanks.

They are zigbee devices that can pair to the hub and work with a community driver.
