## Description

Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1, Requires Aqara HUB, Smart Blind Motor with Schedule and Voice Control, Rechargeable with Long Battery Life, Compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT : desertcart.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

Review: Does the job - works with Home Assistant too. - I bought one of these to automate the existing roller blind in a bedroom. The unit feels sturdy and build quality is good. Really easy to fix to the wall and connect up the bead cord. It was straighforward to set the top and bottom positions (hold the up and down buttons together to put in "learning mode"; then move the blinds to the correct position and quick press the up five times to store the top, press the down button five times to store the bottom position). I don't have an Aquara hub but I was able to pair the device with my Home Assistant hub (Sonoff/Tasmota) first time. After that I raise and close the blinds with Alexa, Google, Home Assistant or manually. Alexa raises the blinds automatically in the morning while playing "Here Comes the Sun". Cheesey and fantastic. I bought two more to automate blinds in my home office. The fact that they are battery operated and can be rechaged with a USB charger is a real plus - no unsightly wires being run to the window. Only downside is the price and lack of availability from the Aquara desertcart store. However Aquara were quick to respond to my queries about when stock would be available again.
Review: Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 - Home Assistant via Zibbee2MQTT - Installed 2 of these last week and so far really impressed. Product was well boxed and feels good quality. Installation was easy, first I fully charged the batteries then it took around 5 minutes to fit each one into place. Setting-up: move the blind into a half open position 1. Press and hold both the 'up' and 'down' buttons for 3 seconds to reset position parameters 2. Press the 'up' button until blind is in the preferred fully open position then press the 'up' button again to stop movement 3. Quick press the 'up' button 5 times to set fully open position 4. Press the 'down' button to move the blind into the fully closed position 5. Quick press the 'down' button 5 time to set fully closed position Integration into Home Assistant was a breeze... 1. Press and hold the reset button, located on the bottom of the unit, for 5 seconds 2. Enable 'permit join' in Zigbee2Mqtt The only issue I have found is that current position of the blind is not passed to Home Assistant, but this was easily resolved by publishing MQTT get commands. A week later and so far both blinds have worked perfectly, batteries are still on 99% and I have ordered more.

## Features

- Please note: the Zigbee Aqara hub is required for operation. The Aqara roller shutter motor E1 uses Zigbee 3.0, which provides better stability, compatibility and more functions. Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT are supported. Note: Recommended maximum roller blind weight: 3kg * Although the motor can support higher loads, this may lead to shortened battery life or unstable operation.
- Easy installation: simply screw the Aqara roller shutter motor E1 to the wall, attach the adapter and insert the bead cord of your blind. Please note that it can only be used for roller blinds with a plastic/metal bead thickness between 3-6 mm. (2 screws, 2 expansion tubes and 1 double-sided tape are included)
- [Long battery life] You don't have to worry about charging every week. The Aqara roller shutter motor E1 has a battery life of 2 months, which is more than twice as long as other similar products. The most versatile Type-C port is used to charge the device (USB-C to USB-A cable is included).
- [Preset schedule and position] Set a schedule according to your needs, and your roller shutters automatically open or close in a certain position at a certain time. For example, you can freely set when you wake up, leave the house, come home and sleep. Zigbee2MQTT and similar third-party USB dongles are not officially supported by Aqara The full functionality of the product may likely be limited or unavailable.
- [Home Automation] With Aqara roller shutter motor E1 and other Aqara smart home devices (Aqara smart home central M2 or camera hub G2H required), you can enjoy a fully automated smart home without manual operation. For example, your roller blind will automatically close when you go out when the Aqara motion sensor detects no movement for 10 minutes or the Aqara door and window sensor detects that the door is closed. Zigbee2MQTT and comparable third-party USB dongles are not officially supported by Aqara. Full product functionality may be limited or unavailable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent controller, not too noisy, accuracy could do with improving
*by A***E on 11 January 2026*

Purchased for our bedroom blackout blind. Works well but does seem to lose position ever so slightly as the days go by until you have to recalibrate it again. It would be nice if they had a better way to calibrate the top and bottom more accurately instead of having to try click the right spot as a lucky guess. It’s not too noisy but I’d imagine could be improved with better parts. Battery life seems good as well. Have to charge it up every few months and we use it at least twice a day.
