If for some reason, you have any problems with anything, please open an issue request or update this Wiki.

The Ropener is a smart curtain opener that currently runs on ESPHome only.

Tools required

1. Phillips screwdriver #1 size
2. Hex driver (allen wrench) 2 mm
3. Hex driver (allen wrench) 1.5 mm

Optional

If you have grommet curtains, I highly recommend purchasing curtain glide tape. Without it, the Ropener will struggle and may not work correctly. If you have any issues with curtains not sliding well, be sure to use glide tape.
