IKEA Fyrtur and Kadrilj blinds are now compatible with HomeKit

After several weeks in which it seemed that the new version of the firmware did not arrive to make the IKEA blinds compatible with HomeKit, the update has been available for a few hours and You can now see the curtains directly in the Home app on our Mac and the rest of iOS devices.

In this way, all those users who have installed one of the smart blinds Fyrtur or Kadrilj at home They can now update the hub and enjoy Apple's HomeKit compatibility. So in addition to the physical controls that are added to the blinds and the IKEA Home Smart application itself, now we can also control them from the Home application.

Obviously, we have to update the gateway (hub) from our iPhone through the IKEA app, but once this is over we will be able to directly manage, open and close these blinds through HomeKit. Remember that while the update process lasts we will not be able to manage any device connected to the hub.

In the United States for a few weeks they have had the new version 1.10.29 which is what the hub needs to become compatible with HomeKit, now we can also update directly by accessing the IKEA app. So all those who were waiting to purchase these smart blinds from the Swedish firm until they became compatible with HomeKit can now jump into it. They have a really reasonable price and you will find them on the official IKEA website or in physical stores.
