I wouldn't put any stock in that weak attempt I made to port the code, which was just taking the SmartThings code and changing a few things I saw mentioned in this thread:
I was never able to get the up/down button to actually go into pairing mode for the Hubitat hub to see so other than getting the driver to install without errors is as far as I got
As far as I can tell the up/down button uses group messaging. I even upgraded the firmware on the button to the latest but it still uses group messaging. However, using the original firmware it seemed that the button would not touchlink to the outlet (the up/down button I have came with the outlet) while on the Hubutat's network but after I updated the firmware I was able to touch link it. So it can be useful if direct control is OK for your usecase. I have a Conbee II joined to my network so I can add a group to any Zigbee device and use the button directly even with devices that don't support touchlink.
Hey everyone.
So I am pulling out what little hair I have left trying to get my Ikea blind to work.
I followed all the steps post above by @craigspree - entered the driver code supplied by @Ryan780 but no luck.
The repeater is found. I name it. I do need to change the device type in its setting to Ikea repeater.
I then am able to have the blind be discovered but that is the extend of it. No controls only what you see in the attached image. I feel like I am missing a step that was implied in the directions - but I am unaware of.
See the drop down "Type" where it says "Device" in the lower right corner of your screenshot? You need to select your driver there. The "Ikea Blinds" will likely be at the WAY bottom of that list under user-created drivers.
Hi there,
Sorry if it is a dumb question but I am a new user and i am not too sure were to add code or rules to set the level to level - 100.
Any help would be welcomed.
Best,
Laurent
Not exactly sure what the question is, but as long as the blinds are paired and you have the device type set to "IKEA Blinds", you'll have the options to Raise, Lower and Set Position for somewhere in between. Position 0 is fully open and Position 100 is fully closed.
So in a rule, this is opening them just 15%
And here is an example wired to an on/off switch. I don't want the blinds to run all the way to the top and get binded up, so instead of using the "Raise" command to open, I instead set the position to 15 for on/open/raised:
If you install the Amazon Skill app in Hubitat, you can also expose the blinds to Alexa. She'll see the blinds as a dimmer switch that you can control through a routine. I'm sure some similar process exists for Google Home as well
Thanks Stephen,
My question was referring to a previous post talking about how to make sure that Google home would open the blinds when instructed to do so. The problem is that Google sees the blinds as a dimmer where 100% is closed and 0% is open.
So I am looking for a way to invert the level on the hubitat side to account for this non-sense.
Thanks!
Sorry for responding late, but my solution was just to reverse the endpoints.
So I have each blind as a dimmer (Blind 1, Blind 2, etc.) and then a group of all of them called "All Blinds".
I'm comfortable with 100 being closed, so if I want them a quarter closed I can say "Google, set All Blinds to 25" and all of the blinds go down a quarter.
The only trick was to set the command "Close Blinds" that is triggered by the blinds turning "off", which sets them to 100, and, of course, vice versa.
Is that clear enough?
Brainstorming Ideas -
If you were building a room with a series of multiple small windows way up high (where these Ikea blinds were perfectly fit-for-purpose)....how might you run/provide power AC or DC in a nice clean install?
Thus alieviating some of the ladder access due to the batteries.
DC to them all w/o battery?
Wall wart large enough to power multiple blinds?
Other ideas from folks that have multiple sets of them installed.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the answer. I did group my blinds all together too but I guess what I am looking for is a tutorial about how to use the local and global variables in hubitat. This way I could see how to invert the blinds level and avoid having to add ifttt hooks.
I would like to figure out whether this will fit in my window frame, but I can't seems to find the dimension of the product.
For example with the 60cm version - is 60cm the total width including the top housing? Or is it the width of the blind fabric only? If this is the case, what is the width of the total product?
Also, what is the depth of the top rail/housing?
All the specs are on their site mate,
Ahhh sorry I did miss the 'Width of fabric Width of roller'. But no mention of the depth tho
Thank you very much!
That looks like 2.4 somethings...

I've run into an issue with my blinds (i have 2). One of them has drained it's battery down to nothing twice now and I have yet to even charge the other one.
I've charged it up and it's back to working, but i am not sure what people are doing to get the battery level to show up with the driver. I've had no luck with that
Hit the "Ping" button and that will bring up the battery level, if it doesn't then you might have an earlier version of the driver.
Thanks, that worked. I must have missed that step in the see of posts on this thread
