Use our simple guide to learn how to operate your motorized shades in Houston, and don’t be afraid to contact your installer if you continue to have trouble connecting.
How To Link Your Smart Devices To Your Motorized Shades
High-quality motorized shades, such as the ones installed by Sunburst, often rely on Zigbee to connect to your smartphone. This widely used wireless communications protocol is dependable, power-saving, and used by countless smart gadgets. It lets your smart devices communicate with the motors on your shades.
You also must use an app to manage your smart shades. Our shades rely on the Somfy TaHoma Pro app. This app enables you to control your shades, check the status of shade motors, and troubleshoot any problems.
Connecting to your motorized shades is simple with Somfy’s app and smart motors. Just follow these, three straightforward steps:
- Locate the barcode on the shade’s hem bar or motor.
- Use your smartphone to scan the barcode. This will open the app.
- Follow the app’s directions to pair with your motorized shades.
How To Operate Your Houston Motorized Shades From Your Phone
Using your smart motorized shades only requires a few taps of your finger. Open the TaHoma app. Select the motorized shade you wish to adjust. Press the directional arrows to lower or raise the shade, and you’re done! You now have the ideal amount of natural light or privacy in your living area.
You can also utilize the app to create schedules and scenes. Touch Scenes to add your shades to an existing smart home scene or make a new one. Touch Schedule to set your shades to close and open at certain times of day. Then you can continue with your day as your shades run automatically.
How To Operate Motorized Shades In Houston With A Remote
While numerous homeowners are moving to smart technology for their window shades, you’ll still come across remote-controlled shades, too. You operate these with a handheld device that sends signals to your shade motor. All you need to do is hit the buttons to operate your shade.
You may need to pair your remote to your shades to get started. Your remote control will include instructions. Generally, you’ll push a series of buttons that signal to the shade motor that your remote is now communicating with it. Keep those guidelines accessible in case your controller drops the connection and must be linked again.
