As a Home assistant noob, after a few weeks I have been strutting with a swagger around the house with Z2m and 52 connected devices set up, and thinking I'm the main man. 🙄
That all came to a crash and burn this evening when I talked the wife into getting the aqara E1 blind motor for her very expensive velvet Roman bedroom blind. 'Just go downstairs and make a brew, I'll be 5 minutes' I said.
5 minutes later with all the blind ripped down, all the strings snapped, me stood there shitting myself.....
Could I stop the bastard as it was going up, could I balls, no idea why, all I know is its cost me at least 400 quid, as she now wants it replaced and not me dismantling it to try to repair.
A frosty evening ensued.
