Knowing Your Shade’s Limits and Home Position
To help you get started quickly and easily, we set your shade up with predefined
positions.
[image]
Upper Limit: The highest position your shade can reach. We pick
a position that gives you the best view and also protects your
shade from damage.
[image]
Lower Limit: The lowest position your shade can reach. This
matches the shade length you ordered.
[image]
Home Position: We set this to the midpoint of your shade, but
you can adjust it to any point between the upper and lower limits.
Not available with the two-button remote.
You can adjust each of these to fit the needs of your home—just follow the
instructions in the Adjusting Your Shade’s Limits and Home Position section.

Adjusting the Home Position
Before you start, decide whether you want to adjust your upper or lower limit. If
you do, make those changes first—moving those limits will reset your home
position.
Remember that the home position isn’t available with the 2-button remote.
For the Single-Channel Remote

Pairing Your Remotes and Shades
We pre-programmed your remotes to operate your shades. However, you might
decide to adjust the pairing—for example, you might lose a remote and need to
pair a new one, or you might buy an additional remote after your initial purchase.
In cases like this, this section shows you how to pair remotes and shades for a
variety of control scenarios.
To make the instructions easy to follow, steps for the multi-channel remote are
split out into their own section.
Note
If you don't press any buttons for 20 seconds while you're making these
adjustments, the remote will time out. If that happens, just start the process
over.
![](/img.php?id=3627669&img=bg13.png)

Pairing Your 2-Button or Single-Channel Remote
The two-button and single-channel remote behave almost identically. The only
difference between these remotes is that the single-channel remote has a home
button, while the two-button remote doesn’t.
In this section, we cover pairing instructions for either the two-button or single-
channel remote. So while the remote images shown might not match the remote
your using, the steps will still work for you.
Pair a New Remote with a Single Shade
1. Reset the remote to make sure you start with a clean slate:
a. Press and hold the program button on the back of the remote for 15
seconds. When the LED stops flashing, release the button.
The remote LED will flash green, amber, red, and then turn off.
2. On the shade, press and hold the program button for 7 seconds. When the
LED flashes green and amber and the shade jogs, release the button.
The shade LED will turn solid amber and then turn off. The shade is now ready to be
paired with a new remote.
3. On the back of the remote, quickly press and release the program button
twice.
The remote LED will flash amber and green.
4. On the shade, press and hold the program button for 3 seconds. When the
LED flashes green, release the button.
The shade will jog once, and all LEDs will turn off. The shade is now paired with the
remote!

Pair a Remote with a Group of Shades
If you want to control a group of shades with one remote, follow these steps.
Before you start, decide which remote you want to control the group (known as
the group remote). Note that you won’t be able to control an individual shade with
the group remote after you perform these steps.
1. Remove the current pairing between the remote and shade:
a. Press and hold the program button on the back of the remote for 15
seconds. When the LED stops flashing, release the button.
The remote LED will flash green, amber, red, and then turn off.
b. On the shade associated with the remote, press and hold the program
button for 7 seconds. When the shade jogs, release the button.
c. Repeat steps a–b for each remote.
2. Pair the group remote with the shade group:
a. On the group remote, quickly press and release the program button on
the back twice.
The remote LED will flash amber and green.

Integrating Your Shades with a Home
Automation System
Your shades and remotes operate using Z-Wave radio technology, which allows
you to control your shades with many popular home automation systems.
To integrate your shades with a home automation system, you’ll perform 3 tasks:
1. Exclude: Unlink your shades and remotes.
2. Include: Add your shades and remotes to the home automation system’s
network.
3. Associate: Pair secondary remotes with your shades.
The following sections walk you through each task.
Note
If you don't press any buttons for 20 seconds while you're performing these
steps, the remote will time out. If that happens, just start the process over.
![](/img.php?id=3627669&img=bg1c.png)
27
Step 1: (Exclude) Unlink Your Shades and Remotes
1. Unlink each 2-button or single-channel remote:
a. Press and hold the program button on the back of the remote for 15
seconds until the LED stops flashing.

home positions are still set.
![](/img.php?id=3627669&img=bg1d.png)
28
Step 2: (Include) Add Your Shades and Remotes to
the Home Automation System’s Network
1. From your home automation system’s user interface, select the option to
enroll a new Z-Wave device.
See your home automation system’s instructions for details. In some cases, you might
need to choose “Other Z-Wave Supported Device” or “Lighting Devices.”
2. On one of your shades or remotes, press and hold the program button for 3
seconds. When the LED flashes green, release the button.
The shade or remote should appear as a found Z-Wave device in your home automation
system’s user interface.
3. Repeat steps 1–2 for each shade and remote.
4. If you have a multi-channel remote, [use the SHIFT function].
Note
You need to add the shades and remotes to your home automation system for
the integration process to work correctly.
