I’ve been unable to pair my IKEA Tredansen Smart Blinds with the Smart Things app. I’m not sure where I’m going wrong and it seems these blinds are very new so I can’t find any information on someone who has done it successfully.
Here’s what I’ve tried and my set up:
Aeotec Smart Home Hub (gen 3)
5 IKEA Tredansen Smart Blinds
1 Tradfri repeater/extender
I am able to sync the 5 ikea smart blinds to 1 ikea tradfri remote and the repeater/extender without issues. In the SmartThings app, I can sync and add the repeater/extender, but once I try to sync any of the 5 blinds, they are never found by app/hub and I cannot enter them manually as Tredansen isn’t an option on the app. I was able to reset the blinds and re=pair them with the tradfri remote, but again still unable to pair with the smartthings hub.
The reddit post kind of worked for me. The device handler without the battery works, but not with the battery. Also, the status indicator is reversed. It says it is opened when it is closed, and closed when it is opened.
So this post helped me resolve my issue, here’s exactly what I did below
Go to Groovy IDE and create a new device handler using the linked post above
In the SmartThings app, go to add a new device and choose Scan for Devices
Sync the Repeater/Extender first by placing a pin in the hole and pressing the reset button for 5 seconds
Once SmartThings app connects the repeater, reset the Tredansen blinds by holding both buttons on the blind for a few seconds until the blind moves slightly and the lights start flashing
On the SmartThings app, scan for new devices
Insert a pin into the repeater/extender again and press the reset button for 1 second
Blinds should show up and automatically be added
Repeat steps 4-7 for additional blinds
These exact steps are what I did to solve and get everything connected
