Pairing a New Remote or Channel with the Shade – SmartWave Shades

This guide covers the following shade types: Roller Shades, Zebra Shades, Cordless Roman Shades, Woven Wood Shades, Shangri-La Shades, Outdoor Shades, and Dual Shades.

📘 Note:
1. Each SmartWave shade from the original manufacturer comes pre-programmed. This includes a remote already paired with the shade, preset upper and lower limits, and ready-to-use operation once the remote or wireless wall switch is powered on.
2. Each motor can be paired with up to 12 channels.

Watch the video below to learn How to Pair a New Remote or Channel with the Shade.

💡 Tip: If your shades are powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, disconnect all charging plugs from the shades, including the solar panel plug, before making any settings to ensure the motor indicator light works correctly.

⚙️ Before pairing: Please confirm the model of your remote control or wireless wall switch.

Please note that if your remote control or wireless wall switch is a 2-channel device,
Channel 1 corresponds to the programming button labeled “P1.”
Channel 2 corresponds to the programming button labeled “P2.”

If it is a 6-channel or 15-channel device, select the desired channel first. The P button will then function as the programming button for the selected channel.

Method 1: Using the Program Button on the Motor

Step 1: Using a paperclip or similar item, PRESS AND HOLD the motor’s Programming button for about 2 seconds.
When the shade jogs once, release the button.
The indicator light will turn orange and begin flashing continuously.

Step 2: Select the remote or channel you want to add.
BRIEFLY PRESS AND RELEASE the P button on the back of the remote. Note: Do not hold the button.
(For wireless wall switches, use a paperclip or similar item.)
The shade will jog once. The orange flashing indicator light will turn off, then flash green 5 times, confirming successful pairing.

Method 2: Remote-to-Remote Pairing

✅ Copy the pairing settings from one remote (or channel) to another so both can control the same shade.

Step 1: Select the remote or channel that is paired with the shade.
PRESS AND HOLD the P button on the back of the remote for about 2 seconds. (For wireless wall switches, use a paperclip or similar item.) When the shade jogs once, release the button. The indicator light will turn orange and begin flashing continuously.

Step 2: Select the remote or channel you want to add.
BRIEFLY PRESS AND RELEASE the P button on the back of the remote. Note: Do not hold the button.
The shade will jog once.
The orange flashing indicator light will turn off, then flash green 5 times, confirming successful pairing.
