Rollerhouse sent me a video showing how to replace the piece at the motor end. Looks like it has to be broken to remove it.

Here https://youtu.be/vXaiBOm-YtU?si=y0q0A7rHLLYTJ4Lp is the video showing how to replace the plastic pieces that determine the size tube.
Now that is solved the next step is to see if Hubitat recognizes the Zigbee module.
i was not sure whether to see if it paired or fit the tube.
Here is a zoomed view of the removal of the other plastic pieces that determine.

Thanks for all the legwork on this. I have a few ikea blinds and one is dead at the moment, excited to see if this works out.
I was able to change the pieces but the drive end is a very tight fit. It started shaving the plastic. I had a time getting it out of the tube even though it was partially inside the tube.
I suspect a little sandpaper on the drive will make it slide it better. Waiting on a reply from Rollerhouse..
Now for the pairing. It paired as a Tuya 4 in 1 multi sensor so I added the ZemiSmart Zigbee Blind 3.3.0 blind driver from Package Manager.
_TZE200_zuz7f94z
It doesnât respond to any command
Here are the pertinent bits of the log:

I was able to pair it with my Tuya ecosystem so that does work. I would like to have HE control all the blinds and not have two. Since these IKEA blinds are failing with no replacement available, and since I have 12 of these (actually 10 FYRTUR and two of the crappy center pull cellular blinds)

Rollerhouse said those are 3D printed and it is ok to shave them down a tad.
my Spidey Sense tells me these were custom made for me.
I also have the Tuya ecosystem, and this paired easily. Worst case if HE doesnât support it, I use the Tuya scheduler.
update: Code makes my head spin but I did see [configure device] in the log. I thought I did that several times, so blame it on old age. HE is happy now. The motor is not installed yet since I have to sand down the drive end but it goes up and down fine using the ZemiSmart driver even though it has a Tuya ID. 
So this looks promising. Once I sand down the drive, assemble, mount it, and set the open and close it should be good to go.
Supposedly this motor is faster than the IKEA. The label states 25rpm
Second update. I used some fine grit sandpaper and sanded down the little pips on the drive. It went in snugly so I used a bit of silicone spray and it is together and paired with Hubitat.
The only thing I used from the FYRTUR blind is the tube and fabric assembly.
Photos and videos at a later date.

I apologize for the sporadic updates. The big C gets to me at times.
The motor is paired with HE and goes up and down with the app. I need to mount the brackets, pop it in, and set the limits.
So, it looks promising this is an inexpensive alternative to the discontinued IKEA blinds.
The main problem is the company doesnât make this for IKEA (yet)

The next time youâre in the mood to experiment with full sun exposure on those windows.
Get a good IR blocking material and:
-cover one of your windows ON THE OUTSIDE.
-cover a similar window facing in the same direction, but cover it ON THE INSIDE.
Now check the temperature on the inside right at each of the windows, not off the glass per se but the air space just off the glass.
We intuitively know that shade on windows matters, but we donât always realize how much and where it is most effective in reducing the heat load on the interior. I think folks were more in tune with the simple design approaches to address this in the old days w/ large overhangs, etc.
More good news! This is an email from Rollerhouse

Still no energy to install it.
I did ask if they are making a complete unit that doesnât require modification. From their email, it appears they are sending a complete unit that requires no swapping of parts, and another set of 3D printed pieces.
Edit: will Rollerhouse be able to read this thread without having an account?

This is a very old version of the community driver, seems there is a problem with the HPM , will look at it when I have a chance.
For now, please update the driver manually :
Yes, this topic should not be restricted, so they should be able to read without one.

The brackets are too wide for my windows. I can only affix the bracket with one screw. Granted, the assembly isnât that heavy but only one screw isnât right. I canât mount it on the wall because the curtain valance would hit it.
My thought is to cut the bracket and bend it at a 90 degree angle so one screw will be going vertical and the other will be going horizontal.
Or drill another hole in the bracket about 3//4â from the rear mounting hole.
Again, no company can cover the variety of mounting possibilities.
Rollerhouses support is great. They tried to find a bracket that will fit my window.
That is not their problem, but they gave it a good try.
I was trying to mount the blind inside the window with the screws vertical.
There isnât much room, so I decided to move the mounts so the brackets are perpendicular to the wall. The valance rod needed to be replaced to make room for the brackets.
The drive motor is paired with HE and responds to commands.
I emailed support late Friday asking if they received a bunch of orders for a drive motor that replaces the IKEA, would they have to 3D print the pieces and replace them before the motor is shipped.
I am waiting on a reply.
In the meantime I managed to screw up my back by sleeping under a ceiling fan so there might not be an update for a while. All that needs to be done is mount the brackets and install the shade/tube/motor assembly.
