Tips for grouping blinds to match your home layout

Blinds from different brands, RF protocols or with different features cannot always be added to the same room, especially if they require different handheld remote controls. If, when adding a blind, the room you want to select does not appear, the only option is to add it to a separate room.

Before adding the blinds to your Smart Controller, we advise you taking a moment to observe your home layout and try to identify the schedules that will be the most useful to you. To help you, here are some common examples:

Open blinds in the morning to wake up or after wake up time
Close blinds when the sun hits directly
Close blinds for privacy at night
Close blinds before bedtime

Using the illustrated house above as an example, besides grouping each blind in its corresponding room, the blinds on the east wall of the house (right side of the image) were grouped in a room called East Wall. This room will also facilitate the voice commands usage, if a voice control device is integrated, such as Amazon Alexa.

When naming rooms and blinds that will be integrated with voice assistants, choose names that are easy to remember and speak for smoother control.
