In this update to the Smart Home Collection app, we have re-designed the App to easily operate or personalise the daily routine of your shades; By introducing “Tiles”

Go to our website for videos and more as there is too much to add here.

Operation of Tiles

Simply touch the tile and the shade will move;

If the tile is open the shade will close or if the tile is closed it will open. If the shade is not moving in the intended direction, touching the tile again the shade will move in the opposite direction.

We have also introduced smart prediction, and this means if the shade is not open or closed, by touching the tile the shade will move open or close based on the time of the day.

A long press on the tiles will allow additional functions or double tapping a tile while it’s moving will stop the shade room or scene.

Tiles also include haptic feedback so you know if you have opened or closed the shade.

Bi-directional feedback

White tiles indicate the shade is open or partially open and a grey tile indicated the tile is closed.

Shade Health

We have also introduced shade health and which lets you see all the shades on one screen in terms of signal strength and battery percentage.

Shade tiles also include health and a red indicator means the battery is below 30% or the signal strength is poor
