Thank you for your help, I had figured it out anyway but much appreciate your help!
Can I leave them in the Aqara app as well as add them to Homey?
Just for the record, blinds 1 & 3 have stopped working at different times, I have them grouped so signal should hit them all around the same second, but first day, blind 1 hadn’t moved to go up, and the next day it was blind 3, any help?
Hello Kai
have them working nicely now, sunrise sunset its beautiful 
Hello, I had same issue, after update the firmware (with aqara stick), I can see the level of battery.
Unfortunately, I suppose it have a battery issue because under 45% of batterie, it’s impossible to operate the roller 
he is like without life, even if I push the reset button or try to reload the battery.
The only way I fount it is to open it, unplug and plug the battery and the roller became to the life

One (of the 6) E1 here acts as if the battery is low: it will only move tiny bits unless helped by hand.
Battery indicates 95% in homey.
Reset, battery disconnect, nothing changed it 
Not sure if the LiPo battery can be measured directly? It has 3 terminals, + - and…?
I happened to have a spare unit, works fine in its place, so i have no hurry to resolve this issue.
Hello
I bought 2 Aqara E1 drivers for roller shades.
I have no issues pairing and using with Homey, that part is working fine, but I have 2 problems with the physical device:
- It’s very difficult, if not impossible for me to find the right tension in the chain. Usually when the shade goes down, the tension in the chain is ok on both sides. When rolling up the cshade, one side of the chain has good tension, the other side is totally loose. I have tried adding more tension manully on the loose side (by readjusting the middle point on the wheel), but very little durable effect. It works as but is not good looking / reassuring.
- once I have set the 100% open and 100% closed and start operating it, it goes down up to 101% then 102%… shifting over time. Naturally it only goes up to 99%, 98%… shitfting the same way overt time. I guess this si due to the logic used by the driver: it counts how many turns of the wheel you need to go to 100%. But if you manually pull the chain you will notice (at least I did for the 2 shades which are from different manufacturers) that the crancked wheel turns without driving the shade immediately (like for 20% of a rotation).
I opened the mechanism and realised it seems to be on purpose (there is a small spring inside, and it does not drive the chain immedialtely). Whilst this does not create any issue in a manual operation, it seems to create a big problem with the Aqara E1 as I cannot really using
I’m think of trying to use a 2 contact sensors to solve the problem, but maybe a bit of an overkill
Anyone has a similar issue, a solution?
I bought several chains / mechanisms from Amazon, all with same result
Thanks
