| IKEA Tradfri shades (cover group) | Partly works Local | Partly in Home Grouped shades' slider jumps to open while moving | Tradfri reports only final state, not position while movingSaved copyThe problem I have two electric shades grouped together using essentially the configuration shown below (*Example YAML snippet*). When I control this group in the Home Assistant UI, as the blinds move, the UI slider jumps between its current position and 100% (open) repeatedly. Similarly, in HomeKit (through the integration), the slider for this group jumps back and forth to fully open as it moves.

Both blinds start at the same position, … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #54591 · 2021-08 |

If you want to automate with these devices, you need to use something like ZHA, or the HomeKit device integration as mentioned above. The groups you find in the app are not imported into Home Assistant as they are known to cause stability issues. We recommend that you use the native light groups instead.
