Motor Version

This guide is for shades equipped with a Gen 2 Motor.

✅ Group Control is ideal when you want multiple shades in the same space to move together.

Watch the video to learn more about how to set up group control.

You can control multiple shades at the same time by using the group control functions available on compatible remotes and wireless wall switches. There are two main methods:

1. Using the Built-In Group Control Feature

Supported devices:

6‑channel remote control
15‑channel remote control
6‑channel wireless wall switch

⚙️ Before you start: Make sure all the shades you want to control are already paired with the same multi‑channel remote control or the same wireless wall switch.

For a 6‑channel or 15‑channel remote control:

Switch to Channel 0.
Press UP, DOWN, or STOP.
👉 All shades paired with this remote will move together.

For a 6‑channel wireless wall switch:

Option 1: Press multiple channel buttons at the same time (for example, press 1, then 2). Then press UP, DOWN, or STOP.
👉 All shades paired with those channels will move together.
Option 2: Press All, then press UP, DOWN, or STOP.
👉 All shades paired with this wall switch will move together.

2 Create a Group by Pairing Multiple Shades to One Channel

✅ You can also create groups by pairing multiple shades to the same channel. Any command (UP, DOWN, STOP) sent to that channel will operate all assigned shades at once. This allows you to set up custom groups and choose exactly which shades move together.

To create a group, select a specific channel to use as the group channel.
Pair each shade you want to control together to this channel one at a time.
When creating groups, it is important to program each shade individually.
For detailed pairing instructions, refer to “Pairing a New Remote or Channel with the Shade.”

Scenario Example

You have four shades in your living room with a 6‑channel remote:

Shades A → Channel 1
Shades B → Channel 2
Shades C → Channel 3
Shades D → Channel 4

Now you want to also control Shades A, B, and C together on Channel 5.

What you need to do:

Pair shades A, B, and C individually to Channel 5.

After Pairing:

• Channels 1–4 can still control shades A, B, C, and D individually.

• Channel 5 can now control shades A, B, and C together.

• Channel 0 can control all four shades (A, B, C, and D) together.
