How To Connect And Operate Motorized Shades In Raleigh
Smart motorized window shades are a modern marvel. With the touch of your mobile device, you can lower or raise your shades from your couch, anywhere in your home, or even from out of town! You may even set them to run on a schedule, so you never need to think about them. However, motorized shades do need a little configuration before getting started. Thankfully, you don’t have to be super tech-savvy to get your powered shades running.
Use these guidelines to discover how to operate your motorized shades in Raleigh, and feel free to call your installer if you need guidance.
How To Connect Your Mobile Device To Your Motorized Shades
Top-tier motorized shades, such as those installed by Sunburst, often utilize Zigbee to connect to your smart devices. This popular wireless communications protocol is dependable, energy-efficient, and used by countless smart tools. It lets your mobile devices communicate with the motors on your shades.
You also must have an app to communicate with your smart shades. Our shades rely on the Somfy TaHoma Pro app. This app lets you raise or lower your shades, monitor the shade motor’s status, and troubleshoot any problems.
Somfy makes motorized shade setup uncomplicated with their app and smart motors, with, three quick steps:
- Find the barcode on the shade’s motor or hem bar.
- Scan the barcode with your smartphone. This will open the app.
- Follow the app’s prompts to connect to your motorized shades.
How To Operate Your Raleigh Motorized Shades From Your Phone
Using your smart motorized shades only requires a few finger taps. Launch the TaHoma app. Select the motorized shade you want to operate. Press the arrow buttons to move the shade, and that’s it! You can now enjoy the right amount of sunlight or darkness in your living area.
You can also program schedules and scenes on the app. Touch Scenes to integrate your shades to a current smart home scene or make a new one. Tap Schedule to set your shades to open and close at specified times of day. Then you can continue with your day as your shades function automatically.
How To Operate Motorized Shades In Raleigh With A Remote Control
Although many homeowners are moving to smart technology to control their window shades, you’ll still find remote-controlled shades, too. You raise or lower these with a controller that relays signals to your shade motor. The only thing you have to do is hit the buttons to move your shade.
You might have to pair your remote to your shades to get started. Your remote control will have directions. Usually, you’ll tap a sequence of buttons that indicate to the shade motor that your remote is now paired with it. Keep those guidelines nearby in the event your controller loses the connection and must be linked again.
