  4. From the Device menu, click the device icon for adding a Shade
  5. The App will then guide you on what button on the shade you will need to press and hold for 10 seconds until the app finds the shade.

Once the shade is found, follow the steps in the app to name the shade and finish the pairing process.

Defaulting Shades

Note: If you are having trouble adding the Shade to the system, we recommend defaulting the shade to factory settings and starting over. This will not affect limits. To accomplish this,

  1. Find the single button on the shade 
  2. Press the button 3-times, holding the button on the third press
  3. After holding for 6 seconds, the LED (the button you are holding) will start to flash rapidly
  4. Push rapidly 3-more times then release, if successful, the LED should flash red/green multiple times confirming the shade has defaulted
    • Note: If the LED does not flash red/green multiple times, you will need to start over from step 1
  5. Repeat the steps in the Adding Serena Shades to Caséta section.
