Event Timeline and Notifications**: With the G2H Pro, when your Aqara sensors are triggered by an event such as opening the door, it will be marked on the video timeline, and you will be able to see video notifications. HomeKit News is not in any way afflilated or endorsed by Apple Inc. or any subsidiary companies related to Apple. invert_cover: Inverts the cover position, false: open=100,close=0, true: open=0,close=100 (default false). The value must be trueor false Alexa is my weapon of choice for creating triggers to control the blind, and again, integration is super simple. Just discover the devices and enable the Aqara skill. Once that's done, you can create routines like you would any other. For example, you can use voice, time of day, sunrise and sunset to control the blinds while using other smart devices to trigger a routine. You can also control the percentage you want the blind to open. What I like:

It should be noted – and has been in online forums – that the E1’s design is actually in use with other existing products by a few different manufacturers, so if you think it looks familiar, you’ve probably seen it before. Still, none of the other versions of this product uses Zigbee, with some electing for Bluetooth, whilst others, WiFi. Not only that, but none are HomeKit compatible, at least not officially, so that’s another thing to take into account.Subscription-Free Alerts and Built-in Siren: The G2H Pro Camera Hub will notify you via smartphone and built-in siren and record a short clip in case an abnormal sound or motion is detected. A short clip will be sent to the cloud immediately (can be disabled in settings) while the full footage will be recorded locally. You get everything you need in the box, including the Roller Shade Driver itself, USB-C charging cable, mounting hardware, various cogs for different sized beaded cables, and an instruction manual. What I like is that the ZigBee communications module is connected to an antenna on the side of the case, improving its signal. This is good practice to ensure stable ZigBee connectivity.

It's a fantastic product and is everything I hoped for when I imagined smart blinds. Here's what I like most: One-Button Control: Thanks to the Aqara Home app, the full operation of your roller shade can be done by pressing only one button such as the Aqara Mini Switch. If your coordinator firmware version is older, some entities are not completely functional in ZHA (eg. the cover entity does not know the exact position of the roller blind) The Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 is a retrofit roller shade controller that does not require a complicated installation and can work with your existing Roller Shade by operating the beaded cord. It does not require dedicated wiring and can run both wirelessly from the built-in battery or being plugged into a power supply via the provided USB Type-C cable.

The motor is labelled as model SZ29Z370, on which I could not find any information online. Appears to be a small geared motor, which is properly lubricated and produces minimal sound. You could barely hear it in a standard home atmosphere. The Motion Sensor located at the top of your bed will detect when you are going to bed and will trigger the Roller Shade Driver E1 to close your roller blinds to make your sleep more comfortable.

As for the downside, I puzzled my brain and can only think of one tiny hiccup. During the configuration of scenarios, I was confused by ‘Time’ and ‘Acting Time’ for part of the conditions to be met. For some reason, when I set a ‘Time’, I could not save the scenario successfully. Apart from that, the shade driver E1 is a perfect solution to add smart control for the roller shades. I have other devices using Z2M that are working without any issues so the problem seems to be isolated only to this device. Also to note, after a while, the device works again as intended regardless of the errors still showing up in the Z2M logs. Has anyone experienced anything similar in Z2M?
