I’m completely lost here. Can someone provide step by step instructions on connecting a smartwings blind to Home Assistant? Please assume that I know very little about Home Assistant and getting this to work with blinds.
I have five of these and they are plug and play. Did you get the Z-Wave version?
I got the zigbee version.
I didn’t even realize they made Zigbee versions of this. I would assume it’s just like Z-Wave, a button on the motor pairs it to the dongle. I had to have mine VERY close to the dongle to pair them.
I have 5 Zigbee shades paired directly with ZHA.
The trick to pairing is getting them into pairing mode in the first place. The easiest way is to select the blind using the remote, then open the back of the remote, press the program button, wait, press up button, wait, press program button again and then in HA add new Zigbee device.
If you think the Zigbee signal is weak, you can access the antenna in the blind and point it into the room over the top of the blind.
