Programming
Pairing with Shades
Here's how to program your shade motor. If your motor is not Somfy RTS, please first change
the protocol as described in the Changing Protocols section.
1. Select the channel you want to program. Make sure just one channel is selected.
2. Hold the pairing button on the motor until the motor responds.
3. Hold the STOP button on the Sidekick for ~2 seconds.
4. The motor should respond, indicating that the pairing is complete.
5. Try to control the motor with the Up / Down buttons.
For many shade motors, you also have the option of using another remote control already
paired to the motor to introduce the Sidekick. Just hold down the pairing button on the existing
remote control instead of the pairing button on the motor in step 2 above.
Setting Favorite Position
Many shade motors have the ability to learn a "favorite position". Please follow instructions
below based on which motor protocol you are using:
Somfy RTS
Rollease, Turnils, Wynstan, Coulisse, Riel Americano
1. Select a single channel on Sidekick. You cannot set a favorite position for multiple shade
channels simultaneously.
2. Move the shade to the desired position using the Up, Down, and Stop buttons.
3. Tap the PAIR button on the back of Sidekick. The shade should jog once.
4. Now press the Stop button. The shade should jog once again.
5. Now press the Stop button again. The shade should now jog twice.
Olibra Confidential
6. The favorite position is now set.
Allen & Roth
Unfortunately, my favorite position is not supported by these shade motors.
Changing Protocols
Sidekick comes pre-programmed for Somfy RTS on all channels. To change to a different motor
protocol, follow the steps below:
1. Select the channel or channels that you want to change. To change all channels, make
sure you have selected all 5 channels before continuing.
2. Press and hold the bond button on the back of the remote control for 2 seconds.
3. The indicator LEDs will blink to indicate the current protocol for these channels. See
table below.
4. Use the Up / Down buttons to select the protocol that you want to set. See table below.
5. Press and hold the STOP button for 2 seconds to save the change. The LEDs for the
channels changed will go solid for 2 seconds to indicate which channels were changed.
NOTE: After 30 seconds of no activity, the lights will stop blinking and Sidekick will go back to
normal operation mode without any change.

Pairing with a Bond Bridge Pro
Sidekick can be paired with a Bond Bridge Pro so that the state of your shades does not get out
of sync in the app when using Sidekick to control them. Pairing is very easy:
1. Open the Bond Home app.
2. Open the Bond Bridge Pro settings.
3. Tap on "Add a Sidekick".
4. Briefly tap the bond button on the back of the remote control.
5. Follow on-screen instructions to connect the Sidekick to devices in the Bond Home app.
Operation
Single Channel
To operate a specific shade channel:
1. Tap the channel you want to control (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5).
Olibra Confidential
2. Now tap the Up / Down button to Raise / Lower the shade.
3. Tap the STOP button to hold the shade at a specific position.
4. For most shades, tapping the STOP button when the shade is already stopped will
cause the shade to move to the Favorite Position.
If you tap Up / Down / STOP without first selecting a channel, the previously selected channel
will be used.
Multi-Channel Control
To operate several shades at once:
1. Select more than one channel by pressing each channel button.
2. Now tap Up / Down / STOP buttons as needed.
If you later tap Up / Down / STOP without selecting a channel or group of channels, the
previously selected channel(s) will be used.
NOTE: For some shade protocols (Rollease, Turnils, Wynstan, Allen & Roth), all shades will
move at exactly the same time because these protocols support broadcast commands. For
other protocols (Somfy, Bofu), the shades will start moving at slightly different times because
separate signals need to be sent to each shade.
Moving Shade to Favorite Position
Somfy RTS
1. Select one or more channels of Somfy shades.
2. Tap the Stop button once.
3. If a favorite position is set, the shade(s) will move to their position.
Rollease, Turnils, Wynstan, Coulisse, Riel Americano
1. Select one or more channels.
2. Hold down the Stop button for approximately 2 seconds.
3. All selected shade channels will move to their favorite position.
Allen & Roth
Unfortunately my favorite position is not supported by these shade motors.
