with the app “ONYX” as described above. Under “Configure devices” you 

now can tap on the pencil symbol of the respective device (top right). 

Under the menu item “Advanced settings” tap now on “Reverse direction 
of rotation”. By tapping on “Done”  these settings are adopted.

To actuate your shading unit brightness dependent, tap under “Configure 
devices” on the  pen

cil symbol of the respective device (top right). Under 

the menu item  “Advanced settings” you find the item “Brightness range “. 

Here two ranges can be adjusted via the two scroll bars. Both ranges can 

be assigned the action “Extend” or “Retract”.

These settings can only be made, if a weather sensor ONYX.WEATHER is

Ideal use of the radio signal

In case of bad reception, the position of the ONYX.SWITCH must be 
changed.

Radio systems that send on the same frequency may cause interference 
with reception.
It must be considered that the range of the radio signal is limited by 
statutory regulations and structural measures.
