How To Connect And Operate Motorized Shades In Southern California
Smart motorized window shades are a fantastic household innovation. With the touch of your finger, you can open or close your shades from your couch, the other side of the house, or even from miles away! You may even set them to run according to a schedule, so you never have to think about them. However, motorized shades do need some setup before using. Thankfully, you don’t have to be super tech-savvy to get your motorized shades running.
Follow these steps to learn how to operate your motorized shades in Southern California, and feel free to ask your installer if you need guidance.
How To Link Your Smartphone To Your Motorized Shades
Premium motorized shades, such as those available from Sunburst, often rely on Zigbee to connect to your smart devices. This commonly used wireless protocol is dependable, low-energy, and used by thousands of smart implements. It allows your smart components to control the motors on your shades.
You also must have an app to control your smart shades. Our shades use the Somfy TaHoma Pro app. With this interface, you can operate your shades, check the status of shade motors, and troubleshoot any concerns.
Setting up your motorized shades is effortless with Somfy’s smart motors and app. Just follow these, three straightforward steps:
- Look for the barcode on the shade’s hem bar or motor.
- Use your mobile device to scan the barcode. This will direct you to the app.
- Follow the app’s directions to link to your motorized shades.
How To Operate Your Southern California Motorized Shades From Your Smartphone
Controlling your smart motorized shades is as simple as a few touches of your finger. Launch the TaHoma app. Locate the shade you wish to operate. Tap the arrow buttons to move the shade down or up, and that’s it! You can now enjoy the ideal amount of sunlight or darkness in your living space.
You can also employ the app to create schedules and scenes. Go to Scenes to integrate your shades to an existing smart home scene or create a new one. Select Schedule to configure your shades to raise and lower at specified times. Then let your shades operate automatically while you move through your day.
How To Operate Motorized Shades In Southern California With A Remote Control
Though countless homeowners are shifting to smart technology for their window shades, you’ll still find remote-controlled shades, too. You raise or lower these with a handheld device that relays signals to the motor in your shades. All you have to do is push the buttons to move a shade down or up.
You might need to pair your remote and shades to get started. Your remote control will include instructions. Usually, you’ll press a series of buttons that inform the shade motor that your remote control is now paired with it. Keep those instructions handy in the event your controller loses the connection and has to be linked again.
