### Protocol
First choose the protocol that the motor understands. Most Somfy motors, use a 56-bit 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.
ESPSomfy RTS supports RTS and RTW protocols. If your remote has the 3 letters RTS on it then you likely have an RTS motor. However, there are a number of motors out there that speak a slightly different version of this protocol. Look in your manual for the letters RTW to see if you have an RTW motor. ESPSomfy RTS can support motors speaking either dialect on the same ESPSomfy device. It just needs to know which one it is speaking.
### Shade Type
Next select the type of shade motor you are adding. This can be a Roller Shade, Blind, Drapery, or Awning. This determines what type of functions are available for control. Roller shades 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.
