I’ve been using an Ikea Fyrtur roller blind in conjunction with the Conbee II for approximately a year now, and up until recently, everything was working fine. However, I’ve encountered a peculiar issue that I’d like some assistance with.
For the past year, the roller blind was recognized as a light in the system, and while it was a bit odd, I was able to control it using the dimmer controls – raising and lowering it accordingly. But about a week ago, this functionality suddenly stopped working. I tried re-establishing the connection between the roller blind and the Conbee II, but unfortunately, this didn’t resolve the problem.
To troubleshoot further, I decided to start fresh. I obtained a new SD image and performed a clean installation of the latest stable version (2.22.2). However, even with this fresh installation, the roller blind remains unresponsive and unmanageable.
I’m quite puzzled by this sudden change in behavior. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with their Fyrtur roller blinds or any other devices? I’d greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, or insights on how to get the roller blind back to its normal functionality.
Here are a few details about my setup:
Ikea Fyrtur roller blind
RPi 3B
Conbee II Zigbee USB gateway
Previous functionality: Recognized as a light, controlled as a dimmer (from Phoscon and also Openhab3)
Current issue: Roller blind not responding to controls after a year of proper functioning
Attempted solutions: Reconnecting, new SD image, clean installation of Stable 2.22.2
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. If you need any additional information about my setup or the steps I’ve taken, please let me know. I’m eager to get this sorted out and have my roller blind working as it should again.
did you tried to re-pair it and also taking out the battery, waiting for few minutes and putting it back resolves many issues with my ikea roller shade.
Reconnecting I´ve tried. Few minutes ago I charged the battery and inserted it again. But it still don´t works in the app.
If I go to Devices → Blinds I can use the blind.
But I want to make it work with Openhab as a third party app. I added the blind from the UI in Things and linked it to a new automatically build item. That´s what is happening, when I try to lift the blind:
Sending command DOWN to channel deconz:windowcovering:xxx:xxx:position failed: 400 - [{"error":{"address":"/lights/10/state","description":"parameter, on, not available","type":6}}]
Basically you’re right. I found out this issue has already been fixed in Openhab4 ([deconz] Fix roller shutter status by dza1 · Pull Request #14827 · openhab/openhab-addons · GitHub). I’m not sure if there will be any changes for Openhab3 anymore. So the next project will be migrating to the latest version of Openhab, but since there are some breaking changes, I don’t like to rush into any more problems. A quick fix for the meantime would be nice.
