I don’t understand why this product is not available in North America since it’s been available in Europe for many years. I understand things like door locks that have different standards, but this just pulls on a cord which is the same across the world.

@jeffrey_enbom I understand your frustration regarding the unavailability of blind motors in North America, especially when they seem universally applicable. Based on the reference information, devices like the Aqara roller shade driver E1 have different release plans depending on the region. Although it might seem straightforward, product launches can be influenced by various factors, including market demand, regulatory compliance, and strategic business decisions. Unfortunately, the roller shade driver E1 is currently available in Europe and not in the United States. Your feedback is valuable, and I encourage you to share your thoughts with the community and Aqara team, as it might influence future product availability in your region.
@jeffrey_enbom It’s totally understandable to wonder why the blind motor (like the roller shade driver) isn’t available in North America even though it’s been in Europe for years. From what we know, devices often have different release plans across regions—for example, the Aqara roller shade driver E1 was released in Europe but not in the United States, which means there’s no adding entrance or availability in the U.S. for now . Even if the mechanism (like pulling a cord) seems similar globally, regional release strategies can vary. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—have you tried any workarounds or found similar products that work well in North America? Would love to hear more from you!

@jeffrey_enbom It’s totally understandable to feel confused about the regional availability of the blind motors—after all, the basic function seems universal! From what we know, Aqara devices have different launch plans across regions. If a device isn’t available in a specific area like North America, it typically means it’s not supported there temporarily. For example, some devices like the Aqara roller shade driver E1 and Dimmer Switch H2 EU were released in Europe but not in the United States, leading to no adding entrance in the US region .
We hope this clarifies things a bit! If you have more thoughts or questions, feel free to share—community insights can be really helpful too.
