The Mado Limited Edition 15-Channel Remote, included with EarlyBird Kickstarter orders, gives you direct control of your shade without using the app. You can use it to pair a shade, set upper and lower limits, save preset positions, and control different shades on different channels.
If an action requires two buttons to be pressed at the same time, the LCD display will show a gear icon to confirm both buttons are being pressed together.

Examine the back of the remote control. If there is a PULL tab in the battery compartment door (see figure), please pull it out to ensure the battery is engaged and the remote control has power.

Controlling a group of shades
On the Limited Edition remote, the number on the screen indicates the currently selected channel.
Each channel can be paired to a different shade or shade group. So for example:
Channel 1 could control one shade
Channel 2 could control a different shade
Channel 3 could control a group of shades
If you are setting up a group of shades to be controlled on the same channel, simply follow the process of pairing one shade at a time to the remote, while it is on that channel.
If the remote is on the ALL channel, it controls all paired shades on every channel at the same time.
