Thanks for the video. Think I’m going to ask Santa for one whilst they are on sale during Black Friday 😉

good morning!
I add it but it does not give me back the status if I open it by hand or position or battery for example. i need to go to Z2MQTT and refresh manually

What zigbee hub are you using to connect it to home assist? i have a Moez zigbee hub, I was thinking that all zigbee devices are cross compatible yet aqara website is saying that for this roller you will need an aqara zigbee hub.
If that is tte case I dont need it . I will not start having a hub for each brand
