This linking process makes sure we capture every movement of the shade so that its position is always accurately reported. If you happen to also have sensors like the Soliris sun/wind sensor that protects your awning you need to also link this as if it were a remote. + +You will need to make it activate while the link remote screen is open by whatever means sends a command to the motor. Some options are to short press the prog button, cover the sun sensor until it triggers, spin the whirlygig like you are in a hurricane (a leaf blower might do it), or wave a raw chicken bone in the air until the pairing screen goes away. The latter really doesn't do anything but it will get the neighbors talking. + +Now that you have been through the pairing process and saw how painless that was, click the `Link Remote` button to bring up the linking window. When this screen is open the controller is listening for any remote out there that is sending a command to the shade. Simply press any button on the remote you want to link. If you are having trouble deciding which button to press, press the up button. Once the remote is detected it will automatically close the link remote window as soon as it hears the remote.
