I have three HEs and Homey Pro, and have started, just, using Node Red, they all have their merits.
Want to play with Zigbee MQTT as well.
The Homey is great for some energy management devices , Victron, BMS, Zappi etc but also does the E1 blind controllers really well.
As the blinds are linked mainly to my devices on Hue Hubs, lux sensors or linked to activities linked to TV don’t really need HE and Homey to work together.
All the zwave is on the HEs, another HE does odd stuff and zigbee and the third is being built to run as oversight/security. I am only just starting that.
Open/Close often not working, unable to consistently query the status, constantly showing as not present etc.
The workaround some of you are using with virtual switches, setting to position 97 works inconsistently for me.
Is there any progress in a more reliable driver? Sadly, I'm not skilled enough to write one, but happy to do some testing if people can point out what I need to do.
I just wanted to say, that my Aqara E1 is still working perfectly for me with Hubitat using the driver I mentioned in the beginning of the thread. I have the EU version so not sure is that makes a difference.
@mo.hesham can you please copy and paste as a text your Aqara E1 device Data section (found at the bottom of the device web page in HE) ? The model should be "lumi.curtain.acn002"
@jason12 are you sure that the device details that you posted here are for Roller Shade Driver E1 ? This seems to be an old model..
I think you are talking about at least 3 different Aqara device models here.
Hi @kkossev - yes, those device details pulled from my Hubitat devices are defintely new E1's ( I have 3) - that's how they show when I'm using the driver posted in this thread which is the only one that even works a little bit! The driver is the B1 Aqara smart curtain motor that Mo said he had working, which is perhaps why it looks odd? The only way I was able to get any functionality at all was to use the old driver, with some hacks as per Mo's post.
Happy to do something else, and pull some details if it helps.
There is a discrepancy between the information available on Github and these details..
Is your device this one ?
You can try to obtain the correct data again - manually change the driver to the HE inbuilt one named 'Device', then click on the 'Get Info' button and observe the live logs, the fingerprint should be there. If no, you may need to wake up the device by pressing a button on it at the same time when you click on the web page Info button.
Copy and paste the fingerprint, then change manually the driver to the one that you are using now.
Hi @kkossev - yes, it still works (partially) the same. I'll DM the code over - it would be great if you did have chance to have a look, but I appreciate time is precious! Thank you.
Hello,
Is the driver still working? I just got the device and I cannot pair it using the driver in the link , maybe it has some update since then.
Can you please share the actual driver code that you use .
You need version v1.0.2.1123x which can be found in post number 16 above. Works well enough for me. See my notes in post 36 for details of how I got mine working.
