Description of problem: I have addded two blinds on HA. But when i want to open or close blind the only thing that work is close arrows. If i want to open blinds i need to use the slider to do this. Open arrow dont work. It does not change so its possible to execute the up arrow. The slider is not showing closed or open position.

I found a solution… If you add all the files from dev and use tradfri as a custom component. https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/tradfri Blinds will work like the should. This fix will be released in 0.101.

FWIW, calling homeassistant.update_entity on the cover seems to make the cover position (and hence the arrows) show up correctly in the UI. I suppose that as a workaround, one could make an automation to call the service automatically with a timer after opening/closing.

I don’t have any Fyrtur devices of my own so the support provided in Home Assistant is currently really basic and based on me coding some stuff up and actualy owners doing the testing in their homes.

For that reason, I haven’t added any support for groups. Just want to make sure though, do they work if you don’t put them in a group?
