Most Somfy motors, use a 56-bit length protocol. However, some use 80-bits to communicate and will require you to select the 80-bit setting for the `Bit Length`. The easiest way to tell if you have this scenario is to open the frame log described above then press a button on the remote that is currently being used to control the motor. When ESPSomfy RTS hears the commands from the remote it will indicate whether it was 56-bits or 80-bits. Additional options are provided when the 80-bit protocol is selected. Most remotes with a tilt wheel operate at 80-bits.
### Type
Next select the type of motor you are adding. This can be a Roller Shade, Blind, Shutter, Drapery, or Awning. This determines what type of functions are available for control. Roller shades, shutters, and draperies typically only support one function where they open and close with the motor. Blinds however support an optional tilt function. If your window covering has a tilt motor or integrated tilt functions, then you will need to use the blind type in order to support it. If you select Blind from the dropdown then a Tilt Type option will become available and the icon will change.

***Note:*** For Dexxo motors select the Garage (3-button) option. Despite the fact that you may have a single button remote ESPSomfy RTS will translate that cyclopes of a remote into something much better.
There are a number of tilt mechanisms supported by ESPSomfy RTS. If this is a blind with a tilt function you should select the appropriate type of tilt mechanism that is used on the motor. These are described below.
* ***None*** - The slats of the blind are manually controlled or not controllable remotely.

# Ordering Shades and Groups
After you get done adding all your shades an groups you may find that the order in which they are shown in the web display is not to your liking. Initially, these are in the order in which they are added to the device. You can change this order by navigating to the Shades and/or Groups tab. Then simply drag each one into the order in which you would like them to appear.
# Backup and Restore
You may back up your shade settings at any time using the backup function. To back up your shade settings, from the gears menu, select the `Updates` tab. From this tab simply click on the backup button and a text file containing the current shade configuration will be downloaded to your browser. You may use this file should you need to replace your ESP32 or simply want to use another device.
