Aqara roller shade driver E1 with Google Assistant (Google Home)

Questions & Help
1

Hi,
I have two Aqara roller shade driver E1 conencted to my Homey working perfect in Homey app.
However, when I try to command them by voice with Google Assistant (Google Home) they cannot answer to the commands.
More, I can see them in Google Home (even on Google Nest displays) but the commands (manually) are not working either.
Any idea?

Hello,
I have 4 of those E1 and i got them working with Google Assistent.
What i did was the following

  1. Make flows in Homey that does what you want (open/close/percentage)
  2. Add these flows to the favarites (very important, than the will be available in Google)
  3. In the Google Assistent create a voice command (Automation). There you enter the voice command and then choose your action. There you should find the flows you created in Homey)

Thats it.

Thank you Henk, definitely I’ll give a try.

It’s kinda “tweak”… I was expecting to work like all the other devices (direct command).
And the strangest thing for me was to not be able to execute the commands on Google Hub screen… even if the E1 is seen as BLINDS (with open and close commands).

Cheers.
