AP-123 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I have three questions in order of priority. Using OS 3.3 on my EA-5 1) My shades stopped working in only one room. I'm currently using Somfy motors hardwired (not battery) and integrated with the URTSI in the Media, Dining and Living Rooms. All shades work except the Livingroom via control4. All shades including the ones that don't work with Control4 work with the Somfy remote. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot? 2nd question) This one I'm sure is subjective but here goes: The master and guest bedrooms have manual shades that I'm considering adding motors to. Should I stick w/ Somfy motors because I already have the URTSI? My installer says Gaporsa are great and definitely compete with Lutron as far as price, quality, speed and sound. I'm guessing that would require adding another unit in addition to the URTSI. 3rd subjective question) I'm on a slab with no attic. Is it worth it to open the walls to get power to the new motors? Battery powered ones appear to be more expensive, slower and louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP-123 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Also all shades except one work from the URTSI. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnGordon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I would stick with Somfy since that's what you already have. The Ultra Somfy motors are very quiet and less expensive than Lutron. I sell a lot of motorized shades and I have never heard of Gaporsa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP-123 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Thanks everyone. It looks like all I needed to do was reprogram the one channel on the URTSI. Very strange and not sure how that happened. Also decided to go w/ battery shades. Opening up the walls could be like opening a can of worms.

DawnGordon Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Somfy has some very nice rechargeable motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
