I have a couple of Ikea Fyrtur blinds connected to Ikea GW, and the GW is connected to Homey. That way I can still use the remote that came with the blinds. In Homey I have made a virtual device that consist of both blinds. The “problem” is that if I use the Ikea remote to control the blinds, the virtual device/blind is out of sync. Can anyone show me how to make a calculation (guess better logic) so that the virtual blind is the average of the real blinds? Have searched and read several posts, but still confused. ---

Have you tried the Homey app group? ---

You can use [an AVD](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198). With these settings, all added curtains will have the same open/close percentage, even if it’s not the same when commanding them: > ![1000044525](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/7/17f015cb662d1106a0a41bdbb1d2aed7557c17d4.jpeg) ---

Thanks for the reply. But It`s kinda late, as I moved from the house with these blinds a couple years ago 😛 But will mark your post as a solution as I know this will work 👍 ---
