I have an Aqara E1 curtain controller already installed on my Homey Pro (2019) without issues.

Now when trying to add two more, they won’t pair as Aqara devices but only as generic Zigbee devices. I think I know why and am looking for a solution. While the first unit was bought in Europe, the two latest ones were purchased from China and seem intended for ‘mainland China.’

Can I somehow still get these properly into Homey through some kind of workaround?

Very grateful for help.
