FAQ's
Q: Are the remote control and smart control separate systems?
A: Yes, they are independent systems. Remote control operates using radio frequency technology, which allows it to work seamlessly without relying on or being affected by the smart control system.
Q: How do I choose the right remote?
A: Choose a remote based on how many shades you want to control. Each channel on the remote can operate one shade or a group of shades. A 1-channel remote controls a single shade, while a 2-channel remote lets you operate two shades independently. If you have multiple shades in different rooms, a 6-channel or 16-channel remote allows you to control each shade separately or create groups to operate several shades at once. Selecting the right remote depends on how many window shades you plan to control now and in the future.
Q: Do I need a remote to program my blinds?
A: Yes, you need a remote to set the upper and lower limits before performing smart pairing. Without this step, your smart hub won’t be able to execute your commands.
Q: Can the remote be pre-programmed?
A: Yes, if you order the remote and shades together, we will pair them and set the upper and lower limits before shipping.
Q: Can I pair multiple blinds to one channel on the remote?
A: Yes, you can. If you want to control two or more blinds with the same channel, simply select the channel and pair it with each blind you want to control.
