Ikea Fyrtur and Hubitat?

[eric3]

Do Ikea Fyrtur blinds work natively with Hubitat? I dread adding an Ikea hub to add to my other 5 or 6 other hubs just for blinds.

Thanks

Yes.

Update on Ikea Blinds:

That's a long thread to read to try to figure out what level of support there is for the blinds. Here is a post that I think might sum it up:

Ikea Blinds

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 implie…

and I do say might. Looks like there is no official support for them yet, but a community driver is available and yes it looks like it's talking to a repeater and not the blind directly. So I think the answer is NO, it doesn't work natively.

Based on my logs it looks like HE is talking to the blinds directly. I have 3 and I love them. Here’s how to get them working:

Ikea Blinds

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 Tra…

Whether the message is relayed via a repeater has nothing to do with if the integration is native/local or not. This integration is native/local because the Cloud is not needed and neither is any intermediary like IFTTT etc. The driver originated from a guy called Wayne on the ST forums and was then modded to work on HE by @Ryan780, a very useful contact for you @eric3 if any issues arise.

@Angus_M

native

native to me means built in to HE with no community drivers. However I realize the meaning of that word can mean different things to different people.

[Angus_M]

Sure, no problem. There is nothing much built into Hubitat as such. You even have to load the officially supported apps and drivers too. Anyway, yeah, this is a community driver. But from the various posts it looks pretty robust. Hope it works out OK for you! Cheers.

I've been using a set of IKEA Fyrturs with my Hubitat for a few months now, they work great

This post (from the above linked thread) is where to get the driver from

Ikea Blinds

Try this driver. All I did was add the battery %. I didn't go back through to make make any of the other changes. I did confirm it compiles in Hubitat but since I don't have the blinds, I can't test it. /** * * * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except * in compliance with the License.

The rest of the thread is a lot of noise, but those two posts are what you need

[eric3]

I went ahead and decided to just add the official gateway to my existing army. I guess the good thing is that a firmware update was available.

I was really hoping for a native integration since I’ve not a great deal of success with the community apps. Seems like they start off strong then ghost...

hey thanks for this, it was very helpful, one question though, I had a remote paired with two blinds and after following the process you mentioned they work with hubitat but they don't work with the blinds' remote, do I need to pair with it once again? Can I have both?

[craigspree]

@thitemple

Can I have both?

Not yet. Some folks have been trying though.

Ikea Blinds

I've got blinds working with Hubitat using driver ported from ST. Blinds work well. The only problem that if blinds are paired with Hubitat then included remote will not work. There is a driver for a remote in ST, but I could not port it to Hubutat... Hopefully someone smarter then me will make it work.

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.

This is the step that I can't get to work. Everything else seems to be working fine...

[robin.staple]

I can control the Ikea blind through the device page in hubitat. But, I want level 3 to be fully open, and level 78 to be fully closed. I can't figure out a way to do so....

It looks like MakerAPI shares these blinds to Homekit as 2 combined accessories, one being blinds with levels, and the other a lightbulb (?). Does anyone know which attributes/capabiltiies to filter out of this accessory to just show the blinds accessory?
