Održavanje

1. Čišćenje

The shade fabric should be spot cleaned only. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent for any stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.

2. Upravljanje baterijom

Monitor the battery level of your motorized shades. Recharge the motor every 4-6 months, or utilize the optional waterproof solar panel for continuous charging to minimize manual recharging.

3. Wire Guide System

Periodically inspect the stainless steel wire guide system. Ensure the wires remain taut to maintain optimal wind resistance and shade stability. Adjust if necessary.

4. Antenna Wires

Regularly check that the motor's antenna wires are not obstructed or entangled with the roller mechanism. Proper placement prevents damage and ensures reliable smart functionality.

Rješavanje problema

1. Daljinski upravljač ne odgovara

• Provjerite bateriju u daljinskom upravljaču i zamijenite je ako je potrebno.
• Ensure the remote is in the correct setting mode if you are attempting to program it.
• If issues persist, try re-pairing the remote with the shade motor (refer to programming videos in the Setup section).

2. Shade Not Moving or Moving Incorrectly

• Verify the motor's battery level and recharge if low.
• If not solar charged, ensure the power connection is secure.
• Confirm that the upper and lower limits are correctly set. If limits are deleted or not properly defined, percentage commands may not function.
• Inspect the shade's path for any physical obstructions.

3. Smart Home Integration Issues (Alexa/Google Home)

• Confirm you have the correct motor type (Zigbee or Bluetooth) and that any required smart bridge is properly installed and connected.
• Ensure both the shades and your smart home hub have stable network connectivity.
• Refer to the specific programming and connection videos in the Setup section for detailed guidance.

4. Shade Closes Crooked or Shifts Sideways

• This can occur if the bottom bar of the shade shifts along the guide wires. To prevent this, consider securing the bottom bar. One method is to drill a small hole in the bottom of the bar (where it won't be visible) through the shade fabric and insert a screw to lock it in place.

5. Hardware Rusting

• While designed for outdoor use, some metal components may show signs of corrosion over time, especially in harsh or humid environments. Regular inspection and application of rust-resistant paint or protective coatings can help prolong the lifespan of these parts.
