Do I need to buy a remote if I choose a smart motor?

If you select a smart motor option (such as Zigbee, Alexa, Matter, or HomeKit), your shades can be controlled via a mobile app or a remote.

For first-time buyers, we recommend purchasing at least one remote to assist with the initial setup and as a backup for manual control when needed.

Please note that standard motors require a remote for operation, as they do not support app control.

What should I do if I ordered the wrong size?

If you notice a sizing error after placing your order, please contact our customer service team within 24 hours. We’ll help you adjust the order before it enters production. Any price difference will be refunded or invoiced accordingly.
If production has already started, a modification fee may apply depending on the status of your order—please reach out to us for details.
If you realize the sizing issue after receiving the product, we offer a 50% discount on a replacement shade with the correct dimensions.
Please note: this discount is exclusively for reordering the same product in the correct size. If the discount is used to purchase a different product, we will ask you to pay the remaining balance before the replacement is shipped.

Can cellular shades be installed on windows that are horizontal or sloped (e.g., skylights)?

No. Our cellular shades are designed for vertical installation only. They are not suitable for horizontal or angled windows such as skylights or ceiling-mounted applications.

Where can I find the QR code for pairing?

For Matter and HomeKit motors, the QR code required for pairing is typically located on the bottom bar of the shades.

Power & Charging

How do I charge the motorized shades?

Our Motorized Shades have a charging port on the motor or battery stick. We include compatible charging cable(s) with every order—just use your own standard 5V/2A power adapter.

You can also choose a solar panel option, which connects directly to the shade for effortless charging.

How long does the battery last on motorized shades?

In most cases, our Motorized Smart Shades can run for 4 to 6 months on a full charge.

However, actual battery life depends on the size of the shade—larger sizes consume more power. For day and night cellular shades, the battery may run out slightly faster.

What do the LED indicators on the battery stick and motor signify during charging or low power?

When charging the battery pack, an orange light indicates that charging is in progress, and it turns blue when fully charged.

For the motor, if the orange light flashes ten times consecutively without being connected to a charger, it means the battery level is critically low and needs to be charged soon. Once the charger is connected, a blue light flashing in intervals indicates active charging. A solid blue light confirms that the motor is fully charged.

Can the shades be charged with solar power? How does it work? How do you connect the solar panel to the motor?

Yes, you can choose a solar panel for charging. Our solar panel comes with a built-in charging cable that has the same connector as the motor’s charging port. You simply plug the solar panel’s cable directly into the motor—just like a regular charging cable. No adapter is needed, and it will start charging automatically when there is sunlight, providing continuous power to your shades

Smart Home & Control

Can the motorized shades be operated manually?

Our Smart Motorized Shades are designed for remote or app control only and are not intended for manual operation.

Do I need a remote if I choose a smart motor?

Smart motors, including Zigbee, Alexa, Matter, and HomeKit types, can be operated through both a compatible app and a remote control.

While app control covers most functions, having a remote on hand is useful for setup, quick commands, or in case of network issues.

For first-time buyers, we recommend purchasing at least one remote to assist with the initial setup and as a backup control method.

Standard motors depend solely on remotes for all control functions.

How do I unpair and re-pair the remote control?

To unpair or re-pair your remote with the shades, please follow the video instructions below:

Pairing for Roller, Zebra, and Sheer Shades: Pairing Guide – YouTube

Pairing for Cellular Shades: Pairing Guide for Cellular Shades – YouTube

If you encounter any issues, feel free to contact our customer support.

Can the remote control multiple shades at once or in groups?

Both our 6-channel and 16-channel remotes can control multiple shades simultaneously, but only the 16-channel remote supports group control:

6-channel remote: When switched to Channel 0 (all blue indicator lights on), it can control all paired shades at the same time.

16-channel remote (with screen display):
Channel 0 functions as a master control for all paired shades.
You can also create up to 6 groups by assigning specific channels to each group, making it easy to control multiple shades together.

Please note: A single channel can be paired with multiple shades.

For a detailed guide on setting up groups with the 16-channel remote, please watch:
How to Set Up Groups – 16-Channel Remote

  • Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen)
  • Echo Show (2nd Gen)
  • Echo Plus (2nd Gen
  • Echo (4th Gen)
  • Echo Studio

How do I connect my smart shades to different smart home apps (Alexa, Google Home, Smart Life, Apple Home)?

Connect to Apple Home

Connect to SmartThings

Connect to Amazon Alexa

Connect to Google Home

Connect to Smart Life App via Zigbee Hub

Connect to Alexa (with Matter or HomeKit Motor)

If you're not sure which motor you purchased or which app it supports, please refer to your order confirmation or contact our customer service team for assistance.

Which apps are compatible with each type of motor?

Standard Motor – Not app-compatible; remote control only.

Alexa & Zigbee Motors – Work with Alexa, SmartThings, Smart Life, Google Home, and other major smart home platforms. A Zigbee 3.0 hub is required, and it must be compatible with your chosen platform (e.g., Samsung SmartThings Hub).

Matter & HomeKit Motors – Compatible with Alexa, SmartThings, Smart Life, Google Home, and Apple Home. A Matter-certified hub or Apple device is required for setup and integration.

Can the smart curtains be scheduled or controlled remotely?

Yes. As long as your smart curtain motor (Zigbee, Matter, Alexa, etc.) is connected through a compatible gateway, you can remotely control and schedule your curtains via apps like Alexa, Smart Life, SmartThings, or Apple Home.
The gateway acts as a bridge between your curtains and your smartphone, enabling remote access. Examples of gateways include Echo devices, HomePod, SmartThings Hub, or other supported hubs depending on your smart home system.

Can I control multiple shades together in groups or scenes?

Yes, you can control multiple smart shades simultaneously by creating groups or scenes within your smart home app. Most compatible platforms—such as Smart Life, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, and Apple Home—allow you to assign multiple shades to the same group or include them in automated routines.

This enables you to open or close several shades with a single tap, voice command, or scheduled automation, making your smart window setup more efficient and personalized.
