We have an iblinds device handler for your SmartThings hub. You can get the latest version following the instructions below.

Installation
  1. First, join iblinds with the SmartThings hub (see the SmartThings manual for pairing instructions).
  2. Open iblinds.groovy, select raw and it will open a new window with the code, select all (Ctrl+A) and copy the code (Ctrl+C).
  3. Login to your SmartThings IDE at  https://graph.api.smartthings.com  (create a login if you don’t have one AND don’t forget to opt-in for the developer account). After logging into the above link, verify that you’re logged into the correct location by clicking on “My Locations”. Then click on the name of the location where you want to install the SmartApp. Note: You may be asked to log into your account again when you click on your location. If so, log in again.
  4. Click on “My Device Handlers”.
  5. Click on “+ Create New Device Handler” on the top right.
  6. Click “From Code”.
  7. Paste the .groovy code (Ctrl + V) into the editor and click “Create”.
  8. Click “Publish” and then “For me” on the top right.
  9. Click on “My Devices” on the top.
  10. Click on your existing device (ex: Family iblinds).
  11. Scroll down and click on “Edit”.
  12. Under “Type *” select the new device handler you just created (it will show up at the bottom of the list).
  13. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Update”.
  14. Open the SmartThings App on your phone and under “My Home” look for your new device.

If you are using an older version of the device handler, you may see the yellow 'calibrate' button when you go into it for the first time after installation. Go ahead & choose the device you are trying to calibrate & use the value slider to calibrate instead of the yellow button. This is only required the first time. 

Or, you can follow the directions above to get the latest version for smooth sailing.  😉
