Nope. I use Sonoff buttons. About the same footprint but thicker.

Such is life.
Wife went looking for the button today, after having explained no more button yesterday. She seemed annoyed, either at me or the lack of the button.
I'll have to give this a tinker when wife isn't watching or upset at me which is pretty much all the time lately. I bought the blinds she got upset at me for spending money. Then she liked the blinds and I took away her button then she got upset at me. Then I set up automated opening and closing rules and she got upset at me because she walked into the room without any clothes on and was worried neighbors might get a peek from 5 acres away.
I'm thinking of just powering down HE for a day, playing dumb, and see if she becomes appreciative of everyone's efforts. Might be worth an experiment... or not. As it is, if Alexa doesn't work I get yelled at and I'm like, "not my fault, It's Jeff Bezos.
The above is interesting. I had paired them in the past and there were zero events reaching the hub when pressed. This was some time ago. Maybe something has changed in the zigbee stack or the buttons have different firmware that has made them more compatible since! Anyway, worth following that thread to see if they figure it all out.
edit: answered my own question, was able to get it to work with Maker API, does not work great in sharptools, but I got an idea to make a Vswitch that will run it
odd question.. i cant seem to find it.. my blinds seem to get out of wack from time to time. a hard open fixes it.
is there a way to make a dash command, or perhaps a MAKER API command to do a hard open?
i created the hard open for this very purpose. Just create a rule to run this occasionally in either rule machine or something like webcore. I have mine hard open on sunrise everyday, then when there's motion in the room adjust to my preferred setting. Not had any alignment issues since putting in this regime.
Does it damage the blinds? Saw a comment saying the motor made a weird noise when it does it. I don’t have smart blinds, but I see myself using them fully open most of the time anyway, so I could just run this always when I want them opened?
Sorry if I’m being a little dumb, coming over from HomeKit, which although I was pushing it well past what it was meant to do, is still nothing compared to hubitat.
I've had Ikea blinds for about 6 months. The hard open doesn't seem to hurt bt I don't do it every day. Pretty sure the blinds have some sort of motor stop limiter in there.
I just checked one of mine and the last battery report was from the 17th. So yeah. Maybe it only reports when the level changes, not sure. But not often in any case.
Got it thanks. Last question, how can I set my ‘closed level’? It was available in SmartThings but I only see ‘max open’ setting in the hubitat version. Maybe I missed it. Thanks!
