The TX Power determines how loud the transceiver shouts at the motors. You can leave this at 10dBm unless your transceiver is one of the ones that support up to 12dBm. Either way this range is much further than the typical Somfy remote and at 10dBm you should be able to control the shades from a great distance. If only the Somfy remotes had better range -- sigh.
Also, if you are fiddling with the base frequency and are having a hard time capturing remotes. Set it back to 433.42Mhz and start over. Remember that sometimes a frozen flagpole is simply a magnet for any moron with a tongue. I you don't know what I am talking about you didn't grow up neck deep in snow or haven't fiddled with anything until you are stuck.
# Shade Setup
The ESPSomfy RTS device supports a maximum of 32 shades, blinds, or draperies. So if you live in a glass house don't throw rocks make another device. You can also modify the code to increase the SOMFY_MAX_SHADES value but you will eventually run out of memory on the ESP32. So stop being so cheap and build another $12 device.
