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. Most Somfy motors, use a 56-bit length protocol.

Next select the type of motor you are adding. This can be a Roller Shade, Blind, Shutter, Drapery, Garage (1-button), Garage (3-button), 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. Next select the type of motor you are adding. The type determines what extra capabilities are available on the motor and the icons that are used to represent its positions. Below is a listing of these types and their functions.

NOTE: You should first try using the 3-button version as this type provides the best experience and most garage door motors actually use the up, down, and stop functions.

***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. ***Note:*** For Dexxo motors select the Garage (3-button) option.
