Things to Know / Gotchas 

 

If a shade is experiencing difficulty calibrating, change the shade to a different position and attempt recalibration. 

 

If a shade appears stuck during calibration, press the open or close button to reanimate it.

 

 

You must use the limit setting tool before the shade can be used in calibration.

 

 

If you do not have access to the group addresses, leave the group address field empty. It will call all of the shades 
individually.
