You definately don't need bridge and actually it would never work with the bridge. You can only have one "coordinator" and for us that is the Hubitat hub. Exceptions for Hue, Lutron, Switchbot, maybe others.

I can't help with Google I use Alexa. Did you enable the Google app

Those links seems to suggest you need the Tradfri, which is out of stock.

I bought my blinds and each one canes with tradfri I though they came with the package for everyone

I found an issue, the thing it’s that the first time I pair it with the google app I was using the blinds as switch so my command was “google turn off the lights” I want them to change them as shades but every time I change them google doesn’t sync or something and they keep showing as lights. I’ve already unpair them like 4 times, delete my dashboard any suggestions?

Hubitat's Google Home Integration does not support blinds/shades (according to the documentation.)

I see you created a duplicate thread.

I have responded in [RELEASE] IKEA window roller blinds - #175 by HAL9000

ive been looking on some forums and ive read that google can work with smart blinds or at least some brands

No disagreement from me. :sunglasses:

Google Home may very well be capable of working with blinds/shades. Unfortunately, it appears that Hubitat has not expanded their Google Home integration to include that type of device, yet. :wink:

That’s so sad, I thought they where google home compatible. Tbh I’m making the blinds work with the light command I don’t have a problem right now. Going to try to add new automation so they can work all alone

I know nothing of Google Home. However, in the Alexa world there is a common workaround for when a device type isn't supported in Alexa. I create a virtual switch in Hubitat and expose that to Alexa. In Alexa, I create a routine so that when I say "Alexa, make the room dark", it will turn on that switch. In Hubitat, when that switch is turned on, it does something (like adjust the shade) and then turns the switch back off. Maybe you can do something similar in the Google world.

My IKEA shades are recognized by Hubitat, and are on the list of devices recognized by Google Home.

I save this, and when I load the list of devices again, the shades are not selected.

However, Alexa recognizes the shades and can control them.

If I remember correctly, the shades worked with GH then something changed to where they were no longer supported by GH.

Yea I was messing atriums with Google home and I manage to make the command “turn of the lights” closing the blights and turn on opening them. My only issue is that Google still recognize that button or tile as switch even tho I already change it to shade

19

My Google home it’s working good with the blinds so I’ll hope it sticks like this

20

So if you say “hey Google, open shade x” that shade will open?

21

I put the blinds as switch so my command is “hey Google turn on the lights” I’m going to try saying “Google sync all devices” since I wanna use them as blinds now

22

If you install the Google Home community integration, you can add them as blinds or whatever type you want. It is much more flexible than the built in integration.
