I just went the gateway route and it works great so far ---

Yeah, I do agree: when I was still using Homey, the gateway app worked perfectly. The only thing with the gateway (hardware) itself is that once in a while, it needed to be rebooted. Like once every few weeks. But quite a few other users have chosen to use the gateway because they couldn’t get the IKEA devices working properly with Homey directly. ---

Seems like I spoke too soon!! My homey has lost connection to the gateway today… No idea why… Will have to investigate ---

Like I said: you have to reboot the gateway once in a while 😃 For some reason, it starts to act funny after some time and a reboot fixes it. ---

Sadly a reboot didn’t fix it… It has a static IP (at least it did… Need to double check) so no idea why it’s stopped working ---

Can you still reach it with the IKEA mobile app? ---

If it still has a static IP address, perhaps time to reboot Homey? ---

do you have found a solution for a good routine, that works with an aqara wireless mini switch and the fyrtur blinds? because I have the Problem, that I didn’t found a way that when the blind is closed and the button is pressed, blind go up. if the blind is up, and the button is pressed, then open the the blind. I have just the option, that when position has changed, and “batterie alarm is on” than… ---

okay, thanks first 🙂 Because my Fyrtur Gordijn 🙂 is connected directly through homey, I miss that option, where I can activate the card “is open” is closed… That sucks. ---

I use an aqara switch to open / close the Fyrtur depending on the actual position. This works great. [https://homey.app/f/0gDYe-](https://homey.app/f/0gDYe-) Open pos = 0.99 Middle pos = 0.5 Closed pos = 0.01 Not using the logic variables gave me some problems. Also using 1 and 0 instead of 0.99 and 0.01. The blind sometimes roles the other way… Last card is: set to (variable) closed pos. Don’t know why it’s not displayed correct when sharing the flow. For opening I use it the other way around ---

@Maurice you are my Hero. First thing: I didn’t know that I can active the aqara button as a scene, where I can select, how often I press him —\> great! Than the implementation with the variable from the logic with larger and or smaller than (in my case 0.7) A value… so I just need to press the mutton once, and it is doing exactly what I want. Thank you sir 😉 How can you manage, to stop the blind at let’s say 3/4 position? So that we can reach the window? -[Flow curtain up](https://homey.app/f/owKcf-) ---

I didn’t make a stop funtion. But maybe you can make something like: if scene is activated -\> set position = actual position ? ---

How did you manage to add the Fyrtur to Homey directly? I can add the curtains and the repeater, but only as “Generic device” because Homey can’t find an app (I don’t have a hub and don’t want to) But when they are a generic device in not able to control the curtains. How did you manage that? ---

I did before adding them. Hmm. I’ll boot the Homey and try again. [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/ikea-tradfri-smart-curtains-fyrtur-and-kadrilj/6437.md?page=7) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/ikea-tradfri-smart-curtains-fyrtur-and-kadrilj/6437.md?page=9)
