3. Setup and Programming

Programming your Somfy Remote Situo 1 Pure is a straightforward process. These steps outline how to link your remote to your Somfy RTS motorized product.

3.1. Initial Programming (Adding a New Remote)

1. Prepare the Motor: Ensure your Somfy RTS motor is powered on.
2. Access Existing Remote (if applicable): If you have an existing, already programmed Somfy RTS remote for the motor, locate the programming button (often a small pinhole button on the back).
3. Activate Programming Mode: On the existing remote, press and hold the programming button until the motorized product jogs (moves slightly up and down). This indicates the motor is in programming mode.
4. Program New Remote: On your new Somfy Remote Situo 1 Pure, press and hold the programming button (also a small pinhole button, usually on the back or side) until the motorized product jogs again. This confirms the new remote has been successfully programmed.
5. Test Operation: Use the UP, DOWN, and MY buttons on the new remote to verify control of the motorized product.

Note: If you do not have an existing remote, or if the motor is new, refer to the specific motor's instructions for putting it into initial programming mode. This often involves a brief power cycle.
