I got 3 blinds all mounted and set up due to the great info in this thread.
In the package:
1 shade
2 mounting brackets
1 battery pack
1 USB A > Micro USB cable
1 Tradfri repeater - Zigbee
1 Remote Button - Zigbee
There are no screws in the package for the mounting brackets. You need 4 screws for each set of shades as there are 2 brackets each.
Step 1 - charge the battery pack. It’s 2,600 MAh and reports I’ve read state it should ‘last several months on a charge’.
Step 2 - Pair the Tradfri repeater in an outlet relatively close to the shade. To pair: Plug in the repeater into the USB plug and then into your outlet. The light will come on steady. To get it in pairing mode, with the repeater plugged in, use a safety-pin/sewing needle and insert it into the small hole next to the USB socket, you will feel the reset button and hold that down with the pin for 10-15 seconds. Remove the pin/needle and the white LED should start to blink. Then set your Hub to Zigbee discovery.
Step 3 - Mount/install the shade hardware - pretty basic and quick
Step 4 - Insert the battery pack into the blinds. There are two small buttons to the left of the battery door that manually operate the shade up and down.
Step 5 - Install the User Driver from @Ryan780 (thank you @Ryan780 ! ) which can be copied from this post (updated to version with battery reporting): Ikea Blinds - #120 by Ryan780
Step 6 - Pair the shade by following @Kev ‘s post quoted here. Remember to use the driver from step 5. After the LED on the blind turns on, set your Hub to Zigbee Pairing mode.
Step 7 - Set the Max Open and close states for the shade. Get the shade where you want it to be ‘most Open’ either via the manual buttons next to the battery or by using Hubitat device page/dashboard. Then double-tap the down button on the shade to the left of the battery pack. The shade will move up and down 1 CM if it was set properly. This now is equal to ‘100’ open for the shade.
So far I’m really pleased and these have boosted the WAF in our home!
