IKEA FYRTUR Problems (after battery charging)

i have two blinds, one at a door, one at a window.
i switched to HA+ZHA from a self coded python-solution when an update by ikea made it unusable.
i am using now the silvercrest gateway from lidl (with “jailbreak”)

the windows one gets used more, as it is behind me opposite the tv (reflections…)
when the power cells gets recharged, this is each time a hassle!
usually it was this:
recharge battery, put back in, delete item in HA, re-pair by factory reset (long press both buttons)
(short press both buttons for repair does not help at all)
but since yesterday it is not moving anymore at all:

i charged the battery and factory resetted+re-paired, and HA “sees” it (battery at 100%, timestamp last seen,…)
but:

  • the buttons on the blind don’t work for up/down
  • everything HA related for this blind does not work also

i have one range extender in use, but i am not sure if they are still “used” by zigbee, i did not re-pair with it after switching from the ikea gateway to HA+ZHA
any ideas ?

the solution was:
complain on the internet after it didn’t work after countless tries
try again the next day
then it works
