Even though Aqara says the battery is not replaceable, this is just a standard Lithium battery which can be found online. Description Aqara Roller Shade Driver (Duo) Starter Kit – Your gateway to a smarter and more convenient home The motor is labelled as model SZ29Z370, on which I could not find any information online.

Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 – The easiest-to-install and most flexible smart roller shade controller. All-Round Compatibility: Compatible with most popular ecosystems and can be controlled by voice. HomeKit, Alexa, Google, IFTTT, Alice, Marusya are supported.

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. So, first things first, I got the Driver connected to the hub. Again, this was a doddle, and I was connected in no time. The app walks you through it. Aqara recommends charging the battery for 2 and a half hours before you set it up. One-Button Control: Thanks to the Aqara Home app ( iOS/ Android), the full operation of your roller shade can be done by pressing only one button such as the Aqara Mini Switch. Easy Installation: Just screw the device to the wall, attach the adapter, insert the beaded cord of your roller shade, and the device will be ready to be connected.

Built-in Zigbee 3.0 Hub: Connect up to 64 Aqara sensors and controllers and enjoy home automation, remote control, and third-party ecosystem support. The cover of the rolling plate has these plastic teeth that you need to brake off. These are not removed by default because some users might be installing the E1 in a horizontal position, so they would need to remove different two teeth. Setting Curtain Limits Adapters for Different Types of Beaded Cords: The majority of roller shades with beaded cords are supported due to a variety of included adapters. The case is held together by 4 hex screws and once those are removed, we can see the components inside. The battery is connected to the main PCB with a short 3 wire cable. The motor lies in the middle and connects to the PCB with a flat cable.Custom Ringtones and Timelapse: Custom ringtones are finally here! Users’ favourite feature allows the G2H Pro to play uploaded recordings and use them in automation. Apart from that, the camera now supports timelapse clips generation, which allows summarizing the day in one short video.
