Thanks gopher.ny, as I mentioned it was working for about 2 weeks great then stopped working in HomeKit (would basically break the whole HomeKit integration if I included it, but as soon as I excluded all the other devices were fine). I have found a temporary work around by creating a group with a virtual shade then using a virtual dimmer to control the group and the dimmer is available in HomeKit and will control the blinds. Not elegant but at least the WAF is there.
As for what drivers I used I have used the following three different drivers (one just had an update to the battery update period ).
The first one was the one I found by Ryan780 ( Ikea Blinds - #47 by Ryan780)
The second one I used was a4refillpad (https://github.com/a4refillpad/hubitat-IKEA-window-blinds/blob/master/IKEA-window-blind-driver-code)
The third was the same one with the battery reporting time adjusted based on this thread (Tips on reducing battery drain for IKEA Fyrtur Blinds paired with HE? - #11 by cohoman)
This is a line in the original driver coding under the configure routine that sets the IKEA blind device to report data every 10 minutes:
cmds = zigbee.configureReporting(CLUSTER_WINDOW_COVERING, ATTRIBUTE_POSITION_LIFT, DataType.UINT8, 3, 600, 0x01) + zigbee.configureReporting(CLUSTER_BATTERY_LEVEL, 0x0021, DataType.UINT8, 600, 21600, 0x01)
and here is the same line of code that I modified:
cmds = zigbee.configureReporting(CLUSTER_WINDOW_COVERING, ATTRIBUTE_POSITION_LIFT, DataType.UINT8, 90, 86400, 0x01) + zigbee.configureReporting(CLUSTER_BATTERY_LEVEL, 0x0021, DataType.UINT8, 43200, 86400, 0x01)
What my change does is configure the zigbee device (IKEA Blind) to send the level position every 10 secs when the level is changing, and every 24 hours regardless of blind changing or not. The battery percentage is sent every 12 hours if it drops 1%, and every 24 hours regardless of how much the battery level has changed.
86400 secs = 24 hours, 43200 secs = 12 hours
So now, the IKEA blind is not pinging the Hubitat hub every 10 minutes with data and using up battery power. With this change, the battery percentage has dropped only 1% over the last 5 days. I normally open and close these blinds once every day. So, I think this small change has fixed my battery drain issue. Just wanted to post this information for others who may be experiencing the same situation. Thanks to everyone who helped to point me in the right direction for a solution!
