Smart motorized window shades are an amazing innovation. With the touch of your finger, you can lower or raise your shades from your couch, anywhere in your home, or even from out of town! You can even have them operate according to a schedule, so you never have to worry about them. But, motorized shades do need a bit of setup before getting started. Luckily, you don’t need to be a tech guru to get your motorized shades moving.
Use these guidelines to discover how to operate your motorized shades in Philadelphia, and don’t hesitate to call your installer if you need help.
How To Link Your Smartphone To Your Motorized Shades
Top-tier motorized shades, such as the ones installed by Sunburst, often use Zigbee to connect to your smartphone. This widely used wireless communications protocol is reliable, energy-efficient, and used by numerous smart tools. It lets your smartphone and other devices control the motors on your shades.
You also must use an app to manage your smart shades. Our shades use the Somfy TaHoma Pro app. This platform enables you to control your shades, monitor the shade motor’s status, and troubleshoot any concerns.
Somfy makes motorized shade setup effortless with their smart motors and app, with, three straightforward steps:
- Locate the barcode on the shade’s hem bar or motor.
- Use your mobile device to scan the barcode. This will open the app.
- Follow the app’s prompts to link to your motorized shades.
How To Operate Your Philadelphia Motorized Shades From Your Phone
Controlling your smart motorized shades is as easy as a few finger taps. Pull up the TaHoma app. Select the shade you want to control. Use the directional arrows to lower or raise the shade, and you’re all set! Now you can enjoy the right amount of light or darkness in your living area.
You can also create schedules and scenes on the app. Tap Scenes to add your shades to a current smart home scene or create a new one. Select Schedule to set your shades to close and open at specified times. Then let your shades operate automatically as you move through your day.
How To Operate Motorized Shades In Philadelphia With A Remote
Though many homeowners are shifting to smart technology to operate their window shades, you’ll still come across remote-controlled shades, too. You operate these with a controller that relays signals to your shade motor. All you need to do is hit the buttons to move a shade down or up.
You might have to sync your remote and shades to get started. Your remote control will include directions. Generally, you’ll push a series of buttons that signal to the shade motor that your remote control is now communicating with it. Keep those directions nearby if your controller loses the connection and must be linked again.
