The Automate App has been re-designed to embrace the architecture of a home and provide effortless control of Automate motorized shades. Easily operate or Personalize the daily routine of shades; organising them by room, grouping them by scenes and automating them with timers. Unlock the convenience of smart shade operation, with the Automate app.
The new Automate app not only allows you to activate, adjust and automatically position your shades but does so through One Tap on the Shade Tiles. One Tap to close, One Tap to open and One Tap to activate and stop scenes. A double tap stops a shade’s operation, and a single long press opens a dedicated shade control screen giving you access to more customized settings.
White tiles indicate the shade is open or partially open and a grey tile indicates the shade is closed.
A summary screen displays the battery levels of all your shades along with signal strength indicators, prompting necessary action to either charge your motors or troubleshoot connections.
The Automate App lets you create an automation routine, and once setup, autonomously raises and lowers your smart shades at the optimal time, so your home’s climate is always at its best.
The Automate app has been designed to make controlling your shades easier than ever with a long list of features and control options!
MOTOR TYPES
The Automate Hub supports a variety of shade types including: Roller Shades, Romans, Awnings, Drapery, Venetians, Cellular, Skylights, Large Outdoor Shades.
LIVE FEEDBACK VIA ARC
ARC technology enables live communication between your Hub and Automate shades, so you always know what position your shades are in, as well as the battery percentage of your motor. Quickly check shade information within the app or ask Siri to check for you!
SUNRISE AND SUNSET DETECTION
Utilizing your home’s time zone and location, the Hub can automatically raise or lower your Automate shades according to the position of the sun. Set a ‘Morning’ scene and watch all your shades promptly rise when you start your day, or create an “Evening” scene that will dynamically alter based on the sunset in your location.
SCENES
Personalize shade control and organise how your shades operate by specific daily events or scenes automatically at the optimal time. Creating a scene for your entire home can be completed effortlessly with a Scene capture button.
SHADE HEALTH
Check the health of your motorized shades at a glance with Battery level and Signal strength icons on your device tiles.
COMPLETE CONTROL HOME AND AWAY
If you have multiple locations like a home, office, or vacation home, simply switch between them for independent control. Always be in charge of your privacy and security! Enjoy your time away from home without having to stress about your shades, the Automate app allows you to remotely access your shades, know their position and operate them as you would if you were home.
HOMEKIT
The hub is HomeKit compatible, shades are automatically added to the Home app and can be controlled with voice commands via Siri compatible devices.
SMART INTEGRATIONS
We’re all about convenience, so we’ve partnered with all the latest smart home assistants to deliver the most convenient shade control options. Intuitively operate your Automate shades with simple voice commands through Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, SmartThings, and Google Assistant.
Not many options out there but this is pretty good

I have enjoyed the app and integration with Apple HomeKit. It has worked flawlessly for years. However there was a firmware update that damaged the hub. However, the company, paid for shipping back to them, where they fixed the unit, then I had it back in 7 days. And this was after already owning the hub for 4 years! Once back at my home I worked with the excellent tech support team to getting my app running flawlessly. Good app and so thankful for the company’s care toward their customers.

Happy Shade Owner
I am always grateful to be able to speak to a live human person when I have technical trouble with my shades. I was disconnected from my original tech support person but luckily reached Kirill on my second attempt. He helped trouble shoot a very complex issue that occurred after my internet/ cable line was accidentally cut by my lawn service and had to be replaced. I tried unsuccessfully to trouble shoot on my own but could not successfully pair the hub and my internet to get it back online. It was a bit more complicated than I expected and I would not have been able to figure it out on my own. He patiently walked me through each step. Thank you Kirill!!

What a mistake this was
LilBea
This is the worse app!!! We purchased battery powered shades and this is the only app that runs them. Now I’m so sick about spending thousands of dollars on these shades knowing what we know now. We’ve had nothing but problems with this app since day one. Although we may not have the best internet connection, we have other devices that work fine and are further from the hub than these shades are. After the company owner spent a few hours here at our home trying to figure out what the problem is, she left with no resolution and now the hub seems to be offline and we can’t connect to the shades at all through the app.

Superb Customer Service!!
KansasRed
After installing a new modem and router, I was not able to pair my shades with WiFi. I called customer service and was fortunate to talk to Kirill. He determined that my hub was outdated and ordered a Pulse2, which I received in record time: four days! Then had to contact him for help in setting it all up. He was patient and kind, his directions were clear and easy to understand, and as someone who has spent over 30 years in customer service — I am very impressed!!! Good service is becoming difficult to find these days. Outstanding is even more rare! Kirill is outstanding. The product is pretty cool too!
