There are a number of tilt mechanisms supported by ESPSomfy RTS. If this is a blind with a tilt function you should select the appropriate type of tilt mechanism that is used on the motor. These are described below.
* ***None*** - The slats of the blind are manually controlled or not controllable remotely.

# Ordering Shades and Groups
After you get done adding all your shades an groups you may find that the order in which they are shown in the web display is not to your liking. Initially, these are in the order in which they are added to the device. You can change this order by navigating to the Shades and/or Groups tab. Then simply drag each one into the order in which you would like them to appear.
# Virtual Remote
So you are one of those poor souls that left your remote sitting on the trunk of your car and drove away. Or the remote has managed to have an illicit affair with one of the lost socks from the dryer and ran away to a far off land. There have been a number of requests to be able to use ESPSomfy RTS without a remote for a variety of reasons.
Among other things this is where the Virtual Remote tab comes into play. You can use this tab just like a regular remote allowing you to use button combinations and different length presses. So if you have no remote factory reset your motor then select the shade you set up for it from the dropdown and get it all paired up. Using the button combinations you can also set the motor limits as well as pair other remotes. You can even simulate the existence of a Sunis or Eolis device.
Just a reminder. Ensure you select the shade you want to control from the dropdown at the top!

# Backup and Restore
You may back up the settings on your ESPSomfy RTS device at any time using the backup function. Originally, this function backed up only the Shades and Groups settings but starting with v2.1.6 this function also backs up the Radio Settings, System Options, and Network configuration. However, this function will not back up the following items:
* WiFi connection (SSID or Passphrase)
