Shade Connect

With one of the most recent updates, the automation features have stopped functioning and disappeared. You can no longer bundle shades together in rooms and operate them as a group. It is a tad annoying that I need to select each individual blind to open or close. Also, timed automation is completely gone. I will increase rating when the automation portion of app is restored.

The shades are always off line so no automations are possible. These shades are annoying and I spend way too much time messing around with the app to simply open or close the blinds when I should have just gotten manual ones that would have saved me time. I do not recommend anyone get these until major improvement are made. Since the recent update I no longer can hit the automation buttons I set up to be able to close all shades at once. I now need to close them individually which is annoying with so many shades. I also no longer have the ability to creat any type of automations … those options have entirely disappeared.

My husband and I both have the app to control our shades. We really like it so far! The only issue is if my husband uses it and doesn’t force close it in his phone, the shades say “offline” on my phone and won’t let me adjust them. Even if he isn’t even on his phone but just has his app running in the background. I wish it would work for anyone who is connected to the shades.
