Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 – Random position changes without physical movement

Questions & Help
1

I’m experiencing an issue with one of my Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 devices connected to Homey Pro (2023).

Problem:
The reported position randomly changes from 100% (fully open) to 0% (fully closed), while the blind itself does not physically move.

This happens repeatedly, sometimes within minutes, at completely random intervals.

What I’ve checked and tried:

  • Other Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 devices connected to the same Homey Pro work correctly.
  • A test Flow confirms that Homey registers these position changes.
  • The regular automation Flows do not appear to trigger these events.
  • Disabling Reverse Direction initially seemed to solve the problem, but the issue returned after a few days.
  • Restarting the Homey Aqara app only provided temporary relief.
  • Motor speed is set to High, identical to the other devices.
  • No physical movement occurs when the incorrect position is reported.

Question:
Is this a known issue with the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 or the Homey Aqara app? Could it be caused by incorrect Zigbee position reports or how the app processes them?

I can provide an app diagnostics report if needed.
