I travel for extended periods of time so it's great to have my blinds open and close to give my home the lived in look, as well as light for my plants. I have them set to open an hour after sunrise and just after sunset. They are controlled by an app. I have three windows with these blinds and they weren't all that expensive. Got them from Budget Blinds and I have a contact if you're interested.

    Well, I apparently screwed up half of my Aqara items. I had a G3 hub and since the signal was a little weak in my office I added an E1 hub. I needed your Roller Shade E1 from the UK and was able to install them (2) and bind them to the G3 and the other to E1. I also bought 5 wireless mini switches and bound them to the G3 and the E1. I didn't realize that when you migrated those hubs to the M3 that it only migrated one or the other. So the end results was that I wiped everything off the G3 when I migrated the E1. I had a T1 light, 3 of the mini switches, one of the roller shades bound to G3 which were removed when migrating the E1 hub . As I had migrated the G3 first. Obviously, I now realize that I should have left everything alone. I was able to bind the G3 hub to the main Home dashboard. I thought maybe if I created another home (2) with the G3 hub that I would be able to bind the "deleted" items to the Home2 G3 hub. However, I have been unable to bind the T1, or the 3 mini switches nor the Roller Shade E1. In the "manual" binding, you no longer see the Roller shade E1 icon nor the mini switches icons. Sorry for the length of this post. Any ideas?

    • @AutomateYourLife
      @AutomateYourLife 4 дня назад

      I'm actually just confused and don't think that I can help. It's only supposed to migrate the one Hub that you are requesting it. Do that unless you do a whole separate migration process for your second Hub. When I did mine I had three hubs in the home and only migrated one and then decided to migrate a second one later. So it should not have done this to you. And unfortunately, if you're not seeing your devices connected to the other G3, then I think it has done something wrong and you're just going to have to pair things to your Hub again and set it all back up... Which is incredibly annoying

    • @myutube6422
      @myutube6422 4 дня назад

      @@AutomateYourLife The issue is that none of the old G3 "child" will bind with the G3. I even made a new HOME and bound the G3 to it thinking that it would be isolated, but while the T1 shows up in the manual binding part it will not bind. I've tried it a number of times. The mini switches don't show up in the Manual options either. I also noticed that when the M3 migrated 2 of the mini switches it only brought over 1 option (one press, where I had all 3 options set up before. It puzzles me that they wouldn't sell all of there products here, but I had to go to the UK to get a Roller Shade product, and originally, there was a picture of it for installation, but now that is missing. I sent an email to Aqara support, I hope there is actual customer service there. I was wondering if you deleted the entire app and started over, if that might work. You would expect that if you have a large house that could use more hubs that they could talk to each other and share the accessories. Thanks for your time thinking about this. I was really sold on Aqara's products, hopefully, it can be solved.
