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

I was skeptical at the beginning, but it was simple to install and the 3m adhesive works like a charm no need for drilling in concrete (in my case) The tricky part was to manually set up the close and open position but it turned out to be simple, just follow the instructions in the manual guide. As an advice, if you have Samsung smartThings setup you can download a community driver to control and automate the curtain open and close without the need to buy an Aqara Hub.

Read the description to understand this product requires a Zigbee hub like Aqara Hub. I used it with conbee 2 for homebridge. Took 5 minutes to setup and must be drilled on the wall. Made my dumb blinds smart with such a low cost and no requirement to replace the custom blinds. Extremely satisfied and this is my third reliable Aqara device

I was excited to try the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 for my larger-sized blinds (220 by 290), but unfortunately, it has been a disappointing experience. It seems that the motor struggles significantly with the weight of my blinds. Contrary to the silent operation touted in many YouTube reviews, the motor on my unit is noticeably loud, which is quite frustrating. Additionally, the design appears to have some flaws. The cap over the roller motor consistently comes off whenever the link that joins the roller chain passes by, which seems like a significant oversight in design robustness. This issue makes the whole setup feel unreliable and poorly constructed. To make matters worse, the accompanying app has been a letdown. It frequently crashes on my iOS device, making it difficult and frustrating to control the shades effectively. The lack of responsiveness in the app adds another layer of annoyance to an already troubling experience. Overall, the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 has not lived up to expectations. It struggles with larger blinds, has a noisy operation, suffers from design flaws, and is backed by an unstable app. I regret this purchase and cannot recommend it, especially for those with larger window setups.

This product is one of the best smart home products that I had purchased in my house. This was my interaction to know Aqara and the quality of the product is excellent as well as the reliability. I would definitely buy more Aqara products in the future.

I bought this to automate our lounge roller blind, which I’ve been looking to do for a while, but couldn’t decide which product to go for. All my smart home stuff needs to work with HomeKit and this ticked all the boxes on paper. In reality, it exceeded my expectations. Installation was a breeze, taking only about 15 minutes. It integrates seamlessly with HomeKit and it actually makes the blind look much more impressive and expensive, as it’s now so smooth in its operation. Our roller blind is the day and night variety, so it’s important that the positioning is accurate in order that the two layers align. No issues at all with getting them aligned every time, by simply setting what you want the highest and lowest positions to be, and then finding the exact percentage for the positions you want. Another nice feature, is the ability to choose the speed at which the motor moves. The handles of our windows stick out enough that they brush the bottom bar of the blind when it moves past them. If you lower the blind too quickly, it can catch itself on them and land on top of the handles rather than passing by them. I used the medium speed setting and this ensures it passes them every time. This has been my first Aqara product (along with the E1 Hub, which I bought along with it), and based on my experience with it, it certainly won’t be my last. Great value for money.

This is a neat and easy way of automating any roller blind shade. You don't need to pay a fortune to buy the motorized roller blinds that are too bulky and limited in size. I have it on two blinds. The motor is strong enough to even operate the long and wide (180x210cm) blind.

These Blind controllers have worked very well. The batteries lasted 8 to 9 months. But the curtains would be opened and closed about once or twice a week. They aren't very noisy, but you can hear them functioning. The opening speed is fine too. All in all I'm very pleased with them. They work on beads and normal cords with no beads. They do rely on the M3 hub to work as I have described, with no issues. They connected to SmartThings too if you want, through matter. The setup is easy. Once the Hub is installed on your network and the curtains too you just need to select the option on the hub third party matter ecosystem. Read the provided QR code and that is it.
