Think about that for a minute. How utterly stupid is that. However, if you mired in this stupidity and have no other choice you can check this box to miraculously have ESPSomfy-RTS talk in this gibberish. Honestly, you should flood the repos for this type of disaster with issues, call the complaint department, and picket outside their business. Just in case you were wondering what I think about this read this entire section backwards.
### Repeat Commands
By default ESPSomfy RTS sends one command frame followed by one repeat of the command. In the RTx protocol this is identified by the number of hardware sync bits and a repeat of the command with the same rolling code. Ok so now that you have been geeked, the simple fact is that some of these motors are lazy. They go to sleep because they use battery power and can't seem to get themselves out of bed in time to respond to a command.
If you find that sometimes the motor does not respond after it has not been used in a while, then increase the number of repeats. Don't just do this indiscriminately though as making ESPSomfy RTS repeat itself is not only rude but it cannot hear anything when it is talking. So add one repeat at a time until the issue goes away. If you get to four and still are having a problem then it is likely that there is interference between the motor and ESPSomfy RTS.
### Next Steps
Once you are satisfied with your settings press the `Add Shade` button. This will change the screen to include more button functions. You can either perform these processes now or come back later to perform these functions once you have added all your shades.
