Overview

What it is and where it fits

This is a small relay module that sits behind an existing curtain or roller shutter motor and gives it app control. It is not a wall switch. There is no faceplate and no gang count. The module measures 52 x 47 x 18mm and hides inside the junction box at the motor, or behind the existing curtain rocker, so the wall keeps the look it already has. Wiring is six screw terminals: live and neutral for the AC 90-250V supply, then S1/L1 and S2/L2 for the motor's two directions. It joins your 2.4GHz WiFi directly, so no Tuya or Zigbee gateway is needed, and control runs through the Smart Life or Tuya app, with Alexa and Google Home voice on top. It suits Dubai apartments and villas that already have motorised curtains or shutters running off a plain wall rocker, which is a common developer handover fit: the motor works, it just has no app. You buy nothing else for connectivity. The motor has to be a 220-240V AC curtain or tubular type with four wires. DC motors and RF-only motors are not supported. A neutral must be present where the module is spliced in, so a true no-neutral spot rules it out. MOES is a value brand, not a premium one. Rated 500W and 2A, it is the cheap, sensible way to add app control next to Aqara or Sonoff, and the app polish and the thin UAE review history match the price.

  • Hides inside the motor junction box, so nothing changes on the wall
  • No hub or gateway to buy, it joins the home WiFi on its own
  • Alexa and Google voice, plus timers and schedules in Smart Life
  • The cheapest honest way to app-control a curtain motor you already own

What to check before you order

Fitment does not apply here in the usual sense. This is a hidden module, not a wall plate, so the BS1363 Type-G and UK back-box pattern questions we answer for MOES wall switches have no bearing on this SKU. What matters is space and wiring at the splice point. The 52 x 47 x 18mm body needs somewhere to sit, normally the motor's junction box, the pelmet void, or a deep back box behind the existing curtain rocker. It needs live, neutral and the motor's two direction wires at that point. Older Dubai apartments wired switch-live only, with no neutral at the wall, cannot take it there, though the neutral is almost always present at the motor itself, which is where we prefer to fit it anyway. Our electricians do the wiring, isolate at the board, set the direction and test the end limits. The 220-240V supply here is correct for the module. Please do not open a live pelmet yourself.

MOES in the UAE. A value brand in the Tuya and Zigbee ecosystem, sold in the UAE mainly through its own Amazon.ae store with genuine local stock and review history. Best known among smart-home enthusiasts for retrofit modules, no-neutral switches and scene controllers rather than as a household name. Most devices run on the Smart Life or Tuya app, and the Zigbee ones need a MOES or Tuya gateway. Note that MOES rarely states the wall-box pattern on its switch listings, so we confirm back-box fit before fitting one.

Answers

Questions about the MOES WiFi Curtain Switch Module

What is the MOES WiFi Curtain Switch Module?
Chevron down icon
It is a concealed relay, 52 x 47 x 18mm, that wires into an existing curtain or roller shutter motor and puts it on your phone. No faceplate, no gang count, nothing visible on the wall. The motor does the work. This module only switches its open and close directions on command.

Will it fit my wall box or my switch plate?
Chevron down icon
That question does not apply to this product. It has no faceplate, so there is no BS1363 or UK back-box pattern to match. It only needs a cavity to sit in, normally the motor's junction box, the pelmet void, or a deep back box behind the existing curtain rocker.

Does it plug into a UAE socket?
Chevron down icon
No. There is no plug and no cable on it. It is hard-wired to live and neutral at AC 90-250V, which covers the UAE's 220-240V supply. Nothing about Type-G pins or three-pin plugs comes into it at all. An electrician makes the connections inside a junction box.

Does it need a neutral wire?
Chevron down icon
Yes, and this one is not negotiable. MOES's own wiring diagram shows six screw terminals: L and N for the mains supply, plus S1/L1 and S2/L2 for the motor. Without a neutral at the point where you splice it in, the module will not power up. A no-neutral install is not possible.

My older Dubai apartment has no neutral at the switch. Can I still use it?
Chevron down icon
Often yes, because we do not have to fit it at the switch. Curtain and shutter motors are fed with live and neutral at the motor itself, so the module usually goes up in the pelmet or in the shutter box instead. We confirm that point on site before you order anything.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I need a hub or gateway for this?
Chevron down icon
No. It is standalone 2.4GHz WiFi and joins your router directly. No MOES or Tuya Zigbee gateway, no bridge, no extra box to buy. That is the main reason people pick it over the Zigbee versions, and it is stated on both the Amazon.ae listing and MOES's own product page.

Which app controls it?
Chevron down icon
Smart Life or Tuya, either one, both free. You add the device once, name the curtain, then you get open, close, stop, timers, countdown and family sharing. The app is functional rather than pretty, which is the normal trade with Tuya-based kit at this price point.
Contact us
Contact us
Does it work with Alexa and Google?
Chevron down icon
Yes, both. Link the Smart Life or Tuya account to Alexa or Google Home and you can say open the living room curtains. The voice link runs through the cloud, so it needs working internet at your end and at the service end to respond.

Does it work with Apple Home?
Chevron down icon
Not natively. There is no HomeKit and no Matter support on this module, so it will not show up in the Apple Home app. If everyone in the house is on iPhone and you want Siri and Home app control, the Aqara route is the honest recommendation instead.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I install it myself?
Chevron down icon
We would rather you did not. It sits on mains 220-240V and connects to a motor that has direction wires, so getting it wrong can burn out a motor or trip the board. Isolating the circuit, wiring it, setting the direction and testing takes our electrician about half an hour.
Contact us
Contact us
Will it work with my existing curtain motor?
Chevron down icon
If the motor is a 220-240V AC curtain or tubular motor with four wires, yes. The Amazon.ae listing specifically rules out DC motors and RF-only motors, and we hold to that. Send us a photo of the motor label and we will confirm compatibility before anything is bought.
Contact us
Contact us
What if my motor is DC or remote-only?
Chevron down icon
Then this is the wrong part and we will tell you so. Low voltage DC tubular motors and RF remote motors are controlled in a different way, and wiring this module to one will not work. For those, a matching RF panel or a motor swap is the correct fix.

How much load can it handle?
Chevron down icon
MOES's spec sheet gives 500W and 2A, and the Amazon.ae spec table separately lists a 10 Amp relay contact rating. Household curtain and roller shutter motors sit well below 500W, so one motor per module is comfortable. Do not push it past what it is rated for.

Can one module run two curtains?
Chevron down icon
Plan on one module per motor. The two output pairs are the open and close directions of a single motor, not two separate curtains. A living room with a blackout curtain and a sheer on separate motors needs two modules, and they show up as two devices in the app.
Contact us
Contact us
Will it work in an older building in Deira or Bur Dubai?
Chevron down icon
Usually yes, because it takes its power at the motor rather than at the wall switch. The two things that stop it are a DC or RF-only motor and a router broadcasting only 5GHz. Check that your WiFi has the 2.4GHz band switched on before we visit.

How does it compare to Aqara, which you also sell?
Chevron down icon
Aqara costs more and gives more: Zigbee that holds up better than WiFi in a crowded tower, Apple Home and Matter through a hub, and a far better app. This MOES module gives you app and voice control for AED 100 and nothing else. Decide on whether Apple Home matters to you.

How does it compare to Sonoff?
Chevron down icon
Sonoff's curtain modules sit in the same budget bracket and are close on features, with a bigger community and a longer firmware history behind them. MOES is the easier buy here because this exact SKU is in stock on Amazon.ae at AED 100. We fit either one.

What happens if the internet drops?
Chevron down icon
Voice control and remote access stop, because both go through the cloud. Control from your phone on the same home WiFi normally keeps working. There is no hub to fail here, because there is no hub, so a router reboot is usually the whole recovery.
Contact us
Contact us
Does it work on 5GHz WiFi?
Chevron down icon
No. It is a 2.4GHz device, which is normal for this class of product. If your router publishes one merged network name for both bands, pairing can fail. Splitting the 2.4GHz band onto its own name for a few minutes during setup is the usual fix, and we do that on site.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I keep using the existing wall switch?
Chevron down icon
Be careful here. MOES documents six terminals: supply live and neutral, plus two motor direction outputs. No separate pair is published for an existing rocker on this SKU. Assume the app replaces the switch unless our electrician confirms otherwise on site. Tell us in advance if manual control matters to you.
Contact us
Contact us
Is it safe in a hot pelmet or a villa shutter box?
Chevron down icon
Heat is the real enemy of cheap relays in Dubai. We keep the module out of direct sun, out of sealed roof voids, and away from anything that traps heat. A ventilated pelmet or a shutter box inside the cooled room is fine. Dust stops mattering once the box is closed up.

What is the warranty and support like in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
Bought from Amazon.ae you get Amazon's returns window plus whatever the seller offers, which on this listing is SATYAMEV. There is no MOES service centre in the UAE. If we supply and fit it, our workmanship is covered by us, and a failed module is cheap and quick to swap out.
Contact us
Contact us
What does it cost and how do I buy it through you?
Chevron down icon
The module is AED 100 on Amazon.ae, ASIN B08P8JS6Q8, in stock and sold by SATYAMEV. You can buy it yourself and we fit it, or we supply and fit. Send us photos of the motor label and the junction box and we will quote the labour.

The rating is only 3.6 from nine reviews. Should that worry me?
Chevron down icon
Read it as thin data rather than a verdict. Nine global ratings is almost nothing, and the written reviews showing are from Egypt, not the UAE, so there is no local track record behind it. Judge it as a AED 100 relay from a value brand and set expectations there.
Contact us
Contact us
Who should not buy this?
Chevron down icon
Anyone on Apple Home, anyone with a DC or RF-only motor, anyone with no neutral anywhere near the motor, and anyone who wants a labelled switch on the wall for guests and maids. Skip it too if the curtain has no motor, because this controls a motor, it does not move fabric.
Contact us
Contact us
Do you supply the curtain motor as well?
Chevron down icon
Yes, separately. This module is control only and the motor is not included. If you have no motor yet, we normally recommend buying track, motor and control as one package rather than retrofitting a module later, because the wiring and the travel limits then get set once and properly.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I control the curtains while I am abroad?
Chevron down icon
Yes. The Smart Life app works over the internet, so you can open and close from anywhere and run a holiday schedule that makes the villa look occupied. It depends on your home WiFi and power staying up, which is the usual condition for any cloud-controlled device.
