Adding a Blind

Adding a Blind

Take your time to decide how you want to map your physical house into rooms in the app to make automation and voice commands (to integrated voice assistants) easy and practical. For more information about this, see our Tips for grouping blinds to match your home layout.

You can pair the same blind into different rooms. However, due to radio frequency's nature, you can't transfer paired blinds from one room to another.

Choose Add a blind from the menu

Tap on the upper left corner menu, then tap on the Add a blind submenu.

Choose name and icon

Enter a name for the blind and choose a blind type icon that matches yours. Tap on the bottom button Next to proceed to the next step.

When naming your blind, try to use a descriptive name (e.g. East Wall) so that you can quickly identify the blind later or easily use in voice commands to an integrated voice assistant.

Enter name and choose an icon for your blind

Choose or add a room

As shown in the first image below, choose the room you want to add the blind, then tap on Next.

If you don't have the room in the Your rooms list yet, simply add one by tapping on the Add room button and choose a name and an icon for the new room (second image below).

When adding a new room, you will be able to assign it to one of the account's Smart Controller. In this case, choose the nearest Smart Controller to the physical room at your house. You can change the assigned Smart Controller at all time, by editing the room information. Accounts with only one Smart Controller will have the option already preselected.

Nice! You have successfully paired blind. If you don't have any other blind to add, tap on the bottom button Done. You can now control, add it to scenes and integrate it into one of the Smart Controller 3rd party compatible systems. You can also automate the blind by creating schedules to its room.
