Do I need an electrician to install my Smart blinds?

With remote control
No. If you follow the instructions, you can install them on your own.

Used singularly, the blind is ready to be used out of the box. If you want to group several together, you need to pair them.

When you use a singular and already paired blind, plug in the repeater, insert the battery into the remote control and then mount the blind.

We recommend performing the pairing before mounting the blinds to the wall or ceiling. It’s ideal to place the blinds on a table when pairing.

The blind comes with 1 BRAUNIT rechargeable battery. The battery pack is pre-charged and ready to use, but always make sure that the battery is fully charged before you start.
 
With IKEA Home smart app

If you want to steer multiple blinds at the same time, we recommend performing the setting/pairing before mounting the blinds to the wall or ceiling. It’s ideal to place the blinds on a table when pairing.

The blind comes with 1 BRAUNIT rechargeable battery. The battery pack is pre-charged and ready to use, but always make sure that the battery is fully charged before you start.

Control and steering

With remote control

1 single remote control (once paired to multiple blinds) can steer up to 10 blinds.

How should I control the Smart blinds with the remote?

With 1 short press on the remote – the blinds will go up or down continuously.

Press once again to stop. Do not to double-click or click the remote repeatedly, as this can send multiple signals/commands to the blinds.

From what distance can I control the Smart blinds?

A remote can control the blinds from a distance of 10 meters.

Can I attach the remote control to my wall?

Yes, you can attach it using the sticky pads on the remote control’s holder. Alternatively, you can attach the holder with screws.

How do I set the maximum drop on the Smart blinds?

Move each blind to the desired position using the remote control or buttons on the blind. When the blind is in the desired position, you can double-press the up or down button on the blind to save this position as the new maximum level of extension.

Pairing

With remote control

Do I need to pair the Smart blinds with the included remote control?
Each individual blind is already paired.  To steer 1 single blind with the remote control, you don’t need to pair.

Can I pair the same remote control to several Smart blinds with the remote control?

Yes, follow these steps to pair additional blinds:
  1. Open the back cover of the open/close remote and find the pairing button.
  2. Briefly press both buttons on the blind. The device is now awake and ready to pair for 2 minutes.
  3. Hold the open/close remote very close to the wireless roller blind that you want to add (no more than 5cm away from the blinds' battery lid).
  4. Press and hold the pairing button for at least 20 seconds on the wireless open/close remote.
  5. A red light will shine steadily on the open/close remote. On your wireless roller blind, a white light will begin to dim and flash until the devices are paired. The blind will roll slightly down and up again when pairing is complete. You can now use your remote to control the blind.
You can pair up to 10 blinds. Please note that if you have more than one blind, they might go up and down at slightly different speeds, but this is normal. 

Where do I find the pairing button on my remote control?

Inside the battery compartment of the remote control.

With IKEA Home smart app

Can I control the Smart blinds via voice control?
Yes, follow the link to the product information page for more information.

Can the Smart blinds be controlled with a timer?

Batteries and recharge

How long does it take to recharge the battery pack?

The blind comes with the recharged battery pack. After usage, it takes around 4-5 hours to recharge the battery pack with the IKEA charger.

How long can I use the Smart blinds before I need to recharge the battery pack?

With an average usage of up and down once per day, a fully charged battery should last 4 to 6 months before needing to be recharged.

As with any battery, the ability to retain charging power will gradually reduce over time.

How long does the remote battery last?


With an average usage of up and down once per day, the remote battery should last 2 years.

As with any battery, the ability to retain charging power will gradually reduce over time.

If the battery pack runs out of charging power, can I pull down/push up the Smart blinds manually?

You can gently pull KADRILJ or FYRTUR down by hand. If you want to make the blind go up, you'll need to recharge the battery pack for a minimum time in order to steer the blind.

If you want to pull PRAKTLYSING or TREDANSEN down, or if you want to make the blind go up, you'll need to recharge the battery pack for a minimum time in order to steer the blind. 

We recommend avoiding draining the battery pack or the remote control so as not to lose the connection.

How do I know in advance when to recharge the battery pack before it completely runs out of charging power?

The white LED light will start flashing on the blinds when controlling them.

Factory reset

How do I factory reset the Smart blinds?

On the blind, press both buttons together for more than 5 seconds.

How do I reset the remote control to the factory reset?

About the repeater

What is the repeater?

With remote control
The signal repeater is a necessary part to help control the blind (it will not work otherwise). It helps the blinds and remote control to communicate.
 
With IKEA Home smart app
It is also needed if you want to control your Smart blind via an app. In this case you need to add the TRÅDFRI gateway (sold separately) and download the IKEA Home smart app on your phone (available on iOS or Android).

Troubleshooting for Smart blinds

The Smart blinds are not working, what should I do?

After plugging in the signal repeater for the first time, it might take a few minutes before it starts to communicate with the remote control and blind. This can also happen after a power cut or if the repeater is unplugged.

Use the remote to roll the blind up or down. If the blind doesn’t move or the remote isn’t responding, try these four steps:

Installing the batteries
Charging the battery pack
Resetting
Pairing

Installing the batteries

  1. Unscrew the back of the remote and press the battery into the slot.
  2. Leave the back open for now; we’ll come back to this when resetting and pairing.
  3. Make sure the battery pack for the blind is in position and that the blind and signal repeater are powered on. Use the remote to roll the blind up or down
  4. Press the down button on the remote to roll the blind down. If it doesn’t move, try the next step: Charging the battery pack. Rolling the blind down as it is

Charging the battery pack

If your blind is still not responding, the battery pack may have lost charge.

Open the hatch on the frame of the blind and slide the battery pack out. 
  1. Connect the battery pack to the signal repeater using a USB cable and leave it to charge.
  2. Once fully charged, the light will turn off and the battery pack is ready for use.
  3. Disconnect the battery pack and slide it back into position inside the frame. The blind will roll all the way to the top once complete.
  4. Use the remote to roll the blind up or down. If it doesn’t move, try the next step: Resetting.

Resetting

The remote control, signal repeater and blind all need to be reset. Follow the instructions below to start resetting.

  1. Press the pairing button 4 times within 5 seconds.
  2. Red LED lights will blink when the reset is complete.
