Any idea when this will be integrated in HA? Thought it would be in .99 but not yet…

Just had a look at what’s coming to version 0.100 on the RC site for Home Assistant which is set for release tomorrow.
Very excited that one of the new platform additions is basic support for IKEA Fyrtur blinds.

Its out now 
Yeah this is great!
For some reason it feels like my blind is reversed. 100 is top position (open) and 0 is closed.
The slider does not update when it’s moving but that is maybe how it works. The arrow down is always gray.
How can I get some data that is good to have for analysis?
If you read the other thread : -
You will see that this is the way it HAS to be (0 = closed, 100 = open)
Consider it a valve that let’s in light

I also got the arrow down greyed out on my blinds. Cant runt blinds down with arror, just up. Moving the slider to value other than 100 works to get the blinds down. Am I missing something?
Seems that if the blinds isn’t in top position and a restart of HA is done, then the up arrow appears and work.
Also the slider doesn’t seems update properly.
I have the opposite - the Up arrow is greyed out for me, but I was able to lower the blinds successfully.
This is probably because you had your blinds were fully open when you restarted HA.
You can do a work-around by open the blinds just a bit and then restart HA. You then will have both arrows working.
I miss typed my post before, I meant the up arrow was greyed out, jut like yours.
Please find a temporary solution here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/27461#issuecomment-541314490

This now works perfectly! I can even use the slider to select a percentage opening/closing. Now to sort out some voice triggers and automations, lots of fun.
Does anyone know if this is fixed in : Release 0.100.2 - October 12 ?
Not according to the blog. Think I red somewhere this will be implemented in 0.101. Was hoping for 0.100.3
Ah thanks
Anyone tried these with the built in zha Zigbee support in HA? I am curious as I don’t have any Zigbee devices yet and I hate hubs.

I’m trying to improve how Fyrtur is represented in Home Assistant. In order to do that, there are a few changes that needs to be made in pytradfri, which is the library Home Assistant relies on.
If you have time, please test this branch: https://github.com/ggravlingen/pytradfri/pull/251 by running the example_cover_async script found in the examples folder. Please report any finding in the GIthub issue.
OMG the Ikea app, directions and pairing process is a total dumpster fire painful (my z-wave devices where a breeze in comparison). The blinds hardware seems decent but man this experience is BAD.
Hopefully by the time I get them working in Ikeas own hub the integration will have improved.
Is there any way to monitor the battery status of the blinds? Before the update to 0.101 I had the battery as a sensor state. Now this is gone.
