Smart motorized window shades are a modern marvel. With the press of your finger, you can lower or raise your shades from your couch, in another part of the house, or even from out of town! You may even program them to run according to a schedule, so you never need to worry about them. However, motorized shades do call for a little configuration to get started. Thankfully, you don’t need to be a tech guru to get your powered shades running.
Follow these steps to find how to operate your motorized shades in Atlanta, and don’t hesitate to call your installer if you continue to have issues.
How To Link Your Mobile Device To Your Motorized Shades

Premium motorized shades, such as the kind offered by Sunburst, often use Zigbee to pair with your smart devices. This commonly used wireless protocol is dependable, low-energy, and used by countless smart tools. It lets your smart devices operate the motors on your shades.
You also must have an app to manage your smart shades. Our shades rely on the Somfy TaHoma Pro app. With this platform, you are able to operate your shades, inspect the state of the shade motor, and troubleshoot any issues.
Somfy makes motorized shade setup effortless with their smart motors and app, with, three straightforward steps:
- Locate the barcode on the shade’s motor or hem bar.
- Use your mobile device to scan the barcode. This will open the app.
- Follow the app’s prompts to link to your motorized shades.
How To Operate Your Atlanta Motorized Shades From Your Smartphone

Using your smart motorized shades is as simple as a few taps of your finger. Pull up the TaHoma app. Locate the motorized shade you want to control. Use the directional arrows to move the shade down or up, and you’re all set! Now you can enjoy the ideal amount of light or privacy in your room.
You can also set up scenes and schedules on the app. Go to Scenes to include your shades in an established smart home scene or build a new one. Touch Schedule to program your shades to lower and raise at specified times. Then let your shades function automatically as you go about your day.
How To Operate Motorized Shades In Atlanta With A Remote Control
Although many homeowners are moving to smart technology to control their window shades, you’ll still find remote-controlled shades, too. You operate these with a controller that relays signals to your shade’s motor. The only thing you have to do is hit the buttons to make a shade go down or up.
You may need to pair your remote and shades before starting. Your remote control will come with instructions. Usually, you’ll push a sequence of buttons that indicate to the shade motor that your controller is now connected to it. Keep those directions nearby in case your controller loses the connection and must be paired again.
