Enabling LuXout Automate Shades
Controlling Your Window Treatments Through Amazon Alexa
In order to get the most convenient control from your shades through Alexa, first consider how you plan to interact
with them. If you plan to operate each window treatment individually, imagine what the most logical name might be
while labeling the window treatments in the LuXout Shade Automate Shades app. For example, a name like “Dining
Room Shade” might be easier to remember than Shade 4.
On/Off
Alexa currently considers window treatments as if they were lights. The most common way to interact with lights
through Alexa is to “turn on” or “turn off” the lights. The same approach would apply to window treatments.
• To lower an individual shade, say “Alexa, turn on Bedroom shade”.
• To raise an individual shade, say “Alexa, turn off Bedroom shade”.
Scene Control
If you plan to trigger scenes through Alexa, consider what the most meaningful names might be when programming
them into your LuXout Shade Pulse app. For instance, a scene named “Good Morning” is easy to remember and
accurately describes the experience one might look for in that scene.
• To activate a scene created in the LuXout Shade Pulse app, say “Alexa, turn on Good Morning”.
(Scenes can only be created in the LuXout Automate Shades app.)
Group Control
A common method of operating window treatments throughout Alexa is through groups. These groups are often
individual rooms, multiple room groupings, or a whole home. Please be aware that the rooms that you have
programmed into your LuXout Automate Shades app will not automatically show up in your Amazon Alexa app. You
will be required to create the groupings in Amazon Alexa, triggering it to operate is as simple as asking Alexa to
turn on that group.
• To lower a group of window treatments configured in the Alexa App, say “Alexa, turn on Living Room shades”.
(See following instructions for directions on how to create a group in Amazon Alexa)
Percentage Control
An individual window treatment or group of window treatments can be set to a percentage of openness. The
percentage will be based on what the programmed limits are on the motor. A shade that is ocmpletely raised to its
upper limit is at 0% while a shade that is completely lowered to its lower limit is at 100%.
• To move an individual shade halfway up, say “Alexa, set Bedroom shade to 50%”.
