## What is The Blind Factory v2?

The Blind Factory hub and App has been re-designed to embrace the architecture of a home and provide effortless control of motorized shades. Easily operate or personalize the daily routine of shades; organize them by room, grouping them by scenes and automating them with timers. Unlock the convenience of smart shade operation, with the Blind Factory app Version 3.0. 

The new Blind Factory App not only allows you to activate, adjust and automatically position your shades but does so through one tap on the Shade Tiles. One tap to close, one tap to open and one tap to activate and stop scenes. A double tap stops a shade’s operation, and a single long press opens a dedicated shade control screen giving you access to more customized settings. 

White tiles indicate the shade is open or partially open and a shaded tile indicates the shade is closed. 

Quickly view the Health Status of all your shades. A summary screen displays the battery levels of all your shades along with signal strength indicators, prompting necessary action to either charge your motors or troubleshoot connections. 

The Blind Factory App lets you create an automation routine, and once setup, autonomously raises and lowers your smart shades at the optimal time, so your home’s climate is always at its best.  

The Blind Factory app has been designed to make controlling your shades easier than ever with a long list of features and control options! 

MOTOR TYPES 

The Blind Factory app supports a variety of shade types including: Roller Shades, Romans, Awnings, Curtains, Venetians, Cellular, Skylights, Large Outdoor Shades. 

LIVE FEEDBACK VIA ARC 

ARC technology enables live communication between your Blind Factory app and Automate shades, so you always know what position your shades are in, as well as the battery percentage of your motor. Quickly check shade information within the app or ask Siri to check for you! 

SUNRISE AND SUNSET DETECTION 

Utilising your home’s time zone and location, the Blind Factory Collection app can automatically raise or lower your shades according to the position of the sun. Set a ‘Morning’ scene and watch all your shades promptly rise when you start your day, or create an “Evening” scene that will dynamically alter based on the sunset in your location. 

SCENES 

Personalize shade control and organze how your shades operate by specific daily events or scenes automatically at the optimal time. Creating a scene for your entire home can be completed effortlessly with a Scene capture button. 

SHADE HEALTH 

Check the health of your motorized shades at a glance with Battery level and Signal strength icons on your device tiles. 

COMPLETE CONTROL HOME AND AWAY 

If you have multiple locations like a home, office, or vacation home, simply switch between them for independent control. Always be in charge of your privacy and security! Enjoy your time away from home without having to stress about your shades, the Blind Factory app allows you to remotely access your shades, know their position and operate them as you would if you were home.

Nothing really works with this app, it randomly forgets blinds and needs to be resynched, schedules only fire about 75% of the time and the Alexa/google home connection they advertise doesn’t work at all
