Programming
Pairing with Shades
Here's how to program your shade motor. If your motor is not Somfy RTS, please first change
the protocol as described in the
Changing Protocols
section.
1. Select the channel you want to program. Make sure just one channel is selected.
2. Hold the pairing button on the motor until the motor responds.
3. Hold the STOP button on the Sidekick for ~2 seconds.
4. The motor should respond, indicating that the pairing is complete.
5. Try to control the motor with the Up / Down buttons.
For many shade motors, you also have the option of using another remote control already
paired to the motor to introduce the Sidekick. Just hold down the pairing button on the existing
remote control instead of the pairing button on the motor in step 2 above.
Setting Favorite Position
Many shade motors have the ability to learn a "favorite position". Please follow instructions
below based on which motor protocol you are using:
Somfy RTS
Rollease, Turnils, Wynstan, Coulisse, Riel Americano
1. Select a single channel on Sidekick. You cannot set a favorite position for multiple shade
channels simultaneously.
2. Move the shade to the desired position using the Up, Down, and Stop buttons.
3. Tap the PAIR button on the back of Sidekick. The shade should jog once.
4. Now press the Stop button. The shade should jog once again.
5. Now press the Stop button again. The shade should now jog twice.
