What is a channel on a somfy remote or wall switch?
Are you confused about what we mean when we talk about operating “channels” on your Somfy remotes and controls? Whether you’re looking to operate one shade at a time or several shades together, channels can be a great way to keep your motorized products organized.
So what is a channel?
A channel is either associated with a single motorized window covering or a group of motorized window coverings.
Depending on the type of control and technology being used, controls are available in single channel and/or multichannel versions.
The below photo shows what channels look like on Somfy’s Telis and Situo hand-held remotes. You can determine which channel you’re operating by paying attention to the LED light on the bottom of the remote:
If you have a Telis 16 Channel RTS remote, your channels will look a bit like the below:
Channels aren't just for hand-held controls, however. The below photo shows a diagram of what channels look like on the DecoFlex WireFree™ RTS Wall Switch:
Channels are used to organize motorized window coverings with their control counterpart(s). This could mean a hand-held remote or a wall switch with multiple channels to control your Somfy-powered products in whatever configuration works most easily for your lifestyle.
