Resetting Shade Programming
The Automation App may be used to modify or reset any shade programming to Automation III Remotes, and Gateways. Shades
may be added to or removed from Rooms in the App at any time. If necessary, shades may also be deleted from the Automation
App in the Advanced Options section of the Shade Settings menu.
Electronic Limit Adjustments
Electronic limits are set at the factory and normally do not require readjustment. For window treatments that may need additional
adjustment or to set custom limit positions, go to Shade Settings in the Automation App to adjust limits.
