Pro-Tip
Check the range of the Hub
Your Hub should be able to reach each shade in the house. Use your remote from the same
location as your Hub to
operate
your shades. If some shades do not respond, add or relocate a repeater and check again.
To
Optimize the range
of your Gen2 Hub you can place it in a central location of your home where it can reach the majority
of your blinds.
