Can zigbee2mqtt run only for the blinds and keep the rest as they are? ---

So I bought the blinds. I can confirm that they work perfectly with the Ikea Tradfri gateway and the app with the same name. Position works, works after homey restart and also battery reporting is working. Have tested them with Sun events app and it’s working ok. Till the official integration will work after restart this is a good alternative. ---

Are U talking about directly 2 IKEA blind…or via Ikea HUB or Via Homey HUB ? ---

No, i’m talking about 2 Fyrtur remotes for 1 blind… Or maybe 1 Fyrtur remote + Homey. So the concrete question is whether it’s possible to pair a Fyrtur blind with more than 1 remote for getting multiple access. ---

Hi All, I’m new to Homey Pro and trying set up my new home architecture. IKEA home products play a key role in my home, but I dumped the Tradfri hub years ago and went with DIRIGERA. So I was heartened to hear near the end of this thread a user said the Fyrtur blinds work well with Homey’s Tradfri app. But can I use it by itself, or do I need a physical Tradfri hub to make it work? Thanks for the clarification. - _Dave_ ---

You can search the homey.app store ![1000033145](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/e/8e63373241dd704754e5b122c69c8031cffff5ec.jpeg) You’ll find it supported by the Ikea Tradfri app, which uses Homey’s zigbee instead of a 3rd party hub. ![1000033147](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/d/ddfecf8f5f9adec329a3646fb7847d9a44c67748.jpeg) ---

Excellent! I’ll give it a try. It’s my next integration, then I’ll only have Aqara left to deal with. Thanks! - _Dave_ ---

No go. It likely requires a physical Tradfri hub, which is no longer sold, made, or supported. The new hubs are called Dirigera which is what I bought after Tradfri was discontinued. I guess there’s no way for direct integration with Homey Pro. 😕 ---

Perhaps you should explain what “no go” means. The Fyrtur’s are _directly_ supported by the “official” app, no additional hubs required. ---

Homey zigbee is not ‘perfect’ and can take some effort, sweat, curses and sometimes your marriage. It can be a pain to pair certain (Ikea) devices. Just keep on trying until it succeeds. To see if it _really_ works OK, please pair the device while having it just a few cm’s next to Homey. If that works okay, the distance and/or interference might be the issue. Distance issues can be solved by adding more zigbee router devices (almost all mains powered zigbee devices) along the way. Interference wifi 2.4GHz vs zigbee: ![Screenshot_20210413-165254_Chrome~01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/29f6698638a638a6c12d8e2167f46b2960c6e466.jpeg) ---

Yep, figured it out. I’m still getting confused by Homey’s use of “apps” for what I would call an “integration,” or an “interface.” Even a “plug-in” would be better than “app,” which has a very specific and different meaning than Homey’s usage. So when you wrote “use the official IKEA app” to someone who’s new to Homey, I was trying to figure out whether you meant the IKEA store app or the IKEA Home Smart app on my iPhone. I finally decided to check Homey’s “app” store again, and finally realized that there’s a second one with the title “official”, so then it finally clicked. Thanks again for your help. Sorry it took me so long to grok it. Oh, and the blinds are integrated now. 😁 -_Dave_ ---

_To app or not to app_ 🤪 I think you’d post your findings and improvement ideas here: > **[Ideas & Suggestions](https://community.homey.app/c/ideas-suggestions/9)** > > We love new ideas! Share your ideas and suggestions here to discuss with fellow community members. Or write to support: homey.app/support \_ In general, on this _Homey_ forum, when we talk about an app, we talk about a _Homey_ app. If not, it’s a good idea we refer to it as _phone app_, _TV app_, _watch app_ (no pun intended), _car app_, _bike app_ or such. And, when I write an app name, in general you can just copy paste it in the app store search bar, and then you’d seen it right away: ![Screenshot from 2024-08-18 23-41-36](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/e/beea23493bc23bf30ef3ab908564ea1633702ba5.png) ---
