A while back I considered getting a few of these but the cost was unappealing and I had seen mixed reviews on their quality, but last night browsing the IKEA website saw they are running on discount for September.

I bought three TREDANSEN block-out blinds and hooked them up via an IKEA Tradfri hub. Pairing via the old IKEA home app was a pain so might move them across to a Homebridge/Phoscon/Deconz set up.

E.g:

  • TREDANSEN Block-out cellular blind, 100x195 cm, $119 / Normal price $299 Link
  • PRAKTLYSING Cellular blind, 140x195 cm, $129 / Normal price $329 Link

Not sure if they're discontinuing altogether or bringing in new zigbee versions (see here), similar to some of IKEA's other smart home products.

    what's a cellular blind? does it block out 5G?

    I was interested in these once so looked at them in person.

    They feel like they are made of thin paper and the mechanism on one display model was already broken.

    Felt cheap and like it would break after 3 uses.

      Ditto. From my brief look in store I believe the entire mechanism relies on the motor rolling in/out two very thin ropes (strings really); the entire cellular structure is made of very thin material and simply slides over the strings.

      If it gets caught on anything I’d expect it to tear or break somehow quite readily. The display model only went up on one side

    • slackme on 08/09/2024 - 10:06

      Yes, but 3G only.

    The first question from Vodafone support about your reception problem - do you have the cellular blinds from Ikea installed?

  • CrazySurfaNZ on 08/09/2024 - 08:51

    Totally read this as paralysing…

      My brain just ignores IKEA product names. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

  • Musiclover on 08/09/2024 - 09:11

    I wonder how people use these? So 360 days a year I want to leave my windows open but I want to block the sun or have some privacy at night. But whenever I have these (without side guides), or just normal horizontal or vertical blinds they flap in the wind like crazy. I should probably use plantation blinds, shouldn't I?

    • Ademos on 08/09/2024 - 09:59

      flap in the wind

      Th….these go inside the house my man. Inside.

      I want to leave my windows open

      As you've discovered, you can't use free-hanging blinds with open windows. For obvious reasons !

      Plantation shutters will do the job.

  • Bearlion on 08/09/2024 - 09:13

    wynstan smart roller blinds would be a better option but need hard-wiring

  • Canberran on 08/09/2024 - 09:37

    I don't use IKEA blinds, but I have motorised double wall honeycomb blinds I've been rocking for 4+ years and no issues with quality.
    Have also has a dog and a toddler in that time.

    They are also a light material and run on about 2-4 strings.

    Just in reply to some quality concerns above, but YMMV with IKEA vs the fitted made to measure brand I got.
