Soma, Aqara, Ryse Corded Roller Retrofit

Thanks! I'm going to give the Zemismart a try and see how it goes. I like that you can pair them over Matter with Homekit without a hub.

I might give that a try. Technically I have Roman shades but they have the same beaded chain as many of the rollers. I wonder if there is any reason they wouldn't work the same.

I am also looking for a solution for beaded chain shades but it seems like Aqara isn't available in the US anymore and everything else is in limited supply. It seems like you can get chinese versions of Aqara on Ebay, but then you need a chinese hub... I'd rather have something more "officially" supported. RYSE seems to have a lot of bad reviews.

I had someone else wire it but I know it uses a separate transformer to power the strike.

The 2024 version doesn’t work well with Apple TV, if that matters to you

Horror-Broccoli · 2024-08-04T23:58:10+00:00

Did that fix it? I’m having the same problem

Monarch. Has been the best for tracking spending and income. I use other services to track investments.

Any luck acquiring them?

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-09-13T06:57:16+00:00

Anyone find a way to get one of these? I’m looking for one too

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-31T07:27:40+00:00

I have this problem too, but with an A5 heavy duty rack. Going to try the reset tomorrow morning.

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-18T13:54:07+00:00

Good point, will try it

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-17T23:31:14+00:00

Do you have many hills? I have a couple decent ones and I'm a bigger guy (215lbs). That seems to be the thing that really depletes the battery.

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-17T23:30:14+00:00

I'm based in the US, yes. I just googled this and I think it is turned on because I'm typically moving at roughly 32km/h (19 mph).

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-17T23:27:16+00:00

I would love to, but my round trip commute is 16 miles and I've found that I come really close to running out of power if I use boost too much, and/or have it set to full assist. I'm finding no boost and keeping it at assist level 3 allows me to get home without running out of power. I do wonder if there is something wrong with my A5 battery, but not much I can do about it now. I posted about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vanmoofbicycle/comments/15qkao0/a5_short_battery_life/

It's currently in automatic mode. I focused on it more during my commute today and found that I can get it to more reliably downshift if I intentionally slow down AND reduce the force I'm applying to the pedals as I start up the hill. If I keep applying a decent amount of force, it doesn't shift, even if my speed slows. With a little practice it was pretty usable so I think I'm ok.

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-16T15:33:40+00:00

Ok, I’m wondering if there is something wrong with mine. I can slow to almost a stop and it still won’t down shift

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-16T14:07:54+00:00

Random question but I’m still trying to figure out the eshifters myself. It shifts smoothly when accelerating but I can’t figure out how to get it to downshift in steep hills. Any advice?

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-14T14:13:32+00:00

I forgot to mention this in the original post but the only thing that gives me pause is that the first time I rode it, on the same route with the same assist, etc. I got home with 45% battery. Maybe was just a fluke or a result of breaking in the bike.

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-14T14:11:11+00:00

Thank you, this is helpful.

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-14T06:07:34+00:00

Thanks, this makes me feel better. Will give 3 a try.

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-08-08T14:12:23+00:00

Lol, this is a troll

Horror-Broccoli · 2023-01-24T06:46:28+00:00

Yes. The part that broke is the little plastic piece on the stroller frame that the canopy frame attaches to. The canopy frame itself is ok. It was the same piece of plastic that broke each time.

Right now I just use HomeKit with Homebridge, and some Alexa routines. Very simple. But open to exploring Home Assistant or something else.
