Smart motorized window shades are a fantastic household innovation. With the press of your finger, you can raise or lower your shades from your couch, the other side of the house, or even from across the country! You may even set them to operate on a schedule, so you never need to think about them. But keep in mind, motorized shades do require a little configuration to get started. Thankfully, you don’t have to be super tech-savvy to get your powered shades moving.
Use our simple guide to find how to operate your motorized shades in Phoenix, and don’t hesitate to contact your installer if you continue to have trouble connecting.
How To Connect Your Smart Devices To Your Motorized Shades
Top-tier motorized shades, such as the ones installed by Sunburst, often rely on Zigbee to pair with your smart devices. This popular wireless communications protocol is reliable, power-saving, and used by countless smart implements. It lets your smartphone and other devices control the motors on your shades.
You also need an app to manage your smart shades. Our shades use the Somfy TaHoma Pro app. This platform lets you control your shades, check the status of shade motors, and troubleshoot any concerns.
Connecting to your motorized shades is uncomplicated with Somfy’s smart motors and app. Just follow these, three easy steps:
- Locate the barcode on the shade’s hem bar or motor.
- Scan the barcode with your phone. This will take you to the app.
- Follow the prompts in the app to connect to your motorized shades.
How To Operate Your Phoenix Motorized Shades From Your Mobile Device
Operating your smart motorized shades only requires a few touches of your finger. Pull up the TaHoma app. Select the window shade you wish to operate. Tap the directional arrows to move the shade, and that’s it! Now you can enjoy the right amount of light or privacy in your room.
You can also employ the app to program schedules and scenes. Tap Scenes to integrate your shades to an existing smart home scene or make a new one. Tap Schedule to program your shades to raise and lower at certain times. Then let your shades run automatically as you go about your day.
How To Operate Motorized Shades In Phoenix With A Remote Control
While many homeowners are switching to smart technology to control their window shades, you’ll still find remote-controlled shades, too. You raise or lower these with a handheld device that transmits signals to your shade’s motor. The only thing you need to do is press the buttons to move a shade down or up.
You may have to sync your remote to your shades before getting started. Your remote control will include instructions. Usually, you’ll tap a sequence of buttons that signal to the shade motor that your remote control is now connected to it. Keep those guidelines nearby in the event your controller loses the connection and must be bridged again.
