IKEA blinds have stopped updating (March 2025)

[jonicunha (João Cunha)]

Hi,

My IKEA blinds stopped updating after actions (at least I haven’t detected any other devices with problems).

For example, if I open the blind, I have to go to the device and manually refresh it so that the current status or position can be updated.

Tried with two different zigbee window treatment drivers (smartthings (version 24/02/2025) and mariano (version 23/02/2025)) but without success.

I have also restarted the router and ST hub but with no success.

V3_HUB
firmware: 000.055.00005

You could write an auto refresh rule in the Rules API and set it up to automatically refresh every X minutes. See the following link.

Honeywell Thermostat status incorrect

The API Rules are accessed though the Advanced Web App and do not require any additional equipment. In the Advanced Web App go to rules, then add a rule, then type in the following. Your device ID goes where the red line is. [1000017152] In test form but the indentation is messed up. { “every”: { “interval”: { “value”: { “integer”: 1 }, “unit”: “Minute” }, “actions”: [ { “command”: { “devices”: [ “DEVICE ID” ], “commands”: [ { “component”: “main”, “capability”: “refresh”, “command”: “refresh” } ] } } ] } }

Hi @Paul_Oliver

Thanks for your suggestion, I’ll save it in case I need it in the future.

In any case the situation was resolved after removing the battery, wait a couple of hours and replacing it.

Thank you!

I have found this occasionally after hub reboots or Zigbee mesh updates. Putting the blind into discovery mode (long press both buttons on the blind) and then add device/scan nearby in ST brings them back with no loss of routines ect ect.

Is effectively the same thing…
