Purchase options and add-ons
- ✽[NOTES] As all Aqara products require Zigbee Aqara HUB to work, with this set there is no need to buy a hub separately. The Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 and Aqara Smart Hub E1 use Zigbee 3.0, which has better stability, compatibility and more features. Please update the firmware to the latest firmware version to use. Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT are supported. Note: Aqara Hub E1 is placed in the box of the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1.
- [Easy Installation] Just screw the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 to the wall, attach the adapter and insert the beaded cord of your roller shade. Please note that it can be only used for roller blinds with plastic/metal bead thickness between 3-6mm. (2 Screws, 2 Expansion Tubes and 1 Double-faced Adhesive Tape are included) Note: Recommended maximum roller blind weight: 3kg * Although the motor can support higher loads, they may result in decreased battery life or unstable operation.
- [Long Battery Life] No need to worry about charging every week. The Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 has a 2-Month battery life, which is more than twice that of other similar products. The most versatile Type-C port is used for charging the device.(USB-C to USB-A Cable is included)
- [Pre-set Schedule & Position] Set a schedule, according to your needs, and your roller shades will open or close automatically to a specific position at a specific time. For example, you can freely set the time when you wake up, leave home, arrive home, and sleep.
- [Aqara Hub E1 & Home Automation] Aqara Hub E1 can connect up to 128 Aqara devices (*use of a repeater such as the Aqara Smart Wall Switch(With Neutral) is required) and make Aqara child devices connected to it compatible with most popular ecosystems and voice assistants such as HomeKit, Alexa, Google, and IFTTT. With Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1, Aqara Hub E1 and other Aqara smart home devices, you can enjoy a fully automated smart home without manual operation.

They provide an extra long charging cable which means I don't even have to remove the unit to charge them up which is great.
Down side is they are fairly noisy but I programme them to operate when I'm not in the room so it doesn't bother me too much.
Only improvement would be to make the battery easier to replace when it eventlually stops holding charge. I assume when this happens the whole unit will need replacing which given the high cost is not ideal.
The E1 Hub is small and unobtrusive, running off a USB port in a twin socket in our living room. Once you work out what adapter you need for your particular blind cord, the install and setup process are rally easy. I chose to use the adhesive method of install, meaning I didn't need to get any additional tools out the garage. Adding both the E1 Hub and Roller shade driver to the Aqara app were really easy, and then its a simple case of following the instructions to get it set up with the open and closed settings.
Using the buttons on the driver itself is simple, and you can press once to open in that direction, which will fully open or close the blind to its furthest point you set up earlier, or you can press it a second time to stop it in a position that suits you. If you integrate to be used with Alexa, she only has the capabilities to fully open or close the blind, so it would be a really good update if you were able to ask her to stop opening/closing the blind at some point, the same way you can with the driver remote itself. Another upgrade within the Aqara app itself would be an addition of more locations, as the nearest location setting to me is roughly 15-20 miles away, so when it comes to setting particular routines within the Aqara app, like wanting the blinds close when the temperature reaches a certain point in the day, its currently going off the temperature or an area a fare distance away from myself. This could obviously be worked around by using additional smart home products on a more advanced system to work better, but I'm not quite at that point yet.
I also purchased a small window solar panel, which has meant I have not had to charge the device at all, and so as I write this review, it is still at 100% battery (the app tells me every few days that the battery is low, but it is not. Again, this could be an issue with the firmware and may change in future).
Overall, I am extremely pleased with this system and plan on adding more around the house in future to control all our blinds. If you are interested in the solar panel I purchased as well, this is the link:

I have twice raised a ticket with Agara's support, following the Amazon link to the manufacturer. Both requests have been ignored.
Great build quality, excellent battery life, and smooth operation.
The hub and rollers have had a few firmware updates, which is interesting if a bit odd considering what this does.
But it's a great product and I can open my blinds even if I'm in Timbuktu!
The app is a little over designed and convoluted but it works.
