4.3 Setting Up Group Control
To control multiple blinds simultaneously, assign them to the same channel:
- Select the desired channel on the remote that you wish to use for a group.
- Follow the pairing steps (4.2) for each blind you want to include in this group, ensuring they are all paired to the same channel number.
- Once all blinds are paired to the group channel, selecting that channel and pressing UP/DOWN/STOP will control all blinds assigned to it.

- Follow the smart hub's specific instructions to discover and add your motorized blinds. The remote acts as a bridge or direct control for the blinds, while the hub provides smart features.
