Most of my home is automated and one of the more annoying aspects was that there were three very expensive patio roller shades that still didn't have any type of automation attached to them. Since they were on the patio I had to run around on the patio looking for the Telis torpedo remote any time I wanted to move the outside shades.

Once the firmware built and installed for your ESP32. The firmware installation process is a matter of compiling the sketch using the Arduino IDE. You will find the firmware guide in the wiki [Firmware Guide](https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/wiki/Compiling-the-Firmware)
