Also, if you are fiddling with the base frequency and are having a hard time capturing remotes. Set it back to 433.42Mhz and start over. Remember that sometimes a frozen flagpole is simply a magnet for any moron with a tongue. I you don't know what I am talking about you didn't grow up neck deep in snow or haven't fiddled with anything until you are stuck.
# Rooms
ESPSomfy RTS allows you to segregate your motors into rooms. If you have a large installation this is very handy to identify the motor so you don't find yourself repeating the location in the name of shade definition. You can assign up to 16 rooms. So for instance if you have 8 blinds in the kitchen you want to control, 4 in the master bathroom that you want to make sure are open when you exit the shower, and a smattering of others spread across the house you can define rooms and assign the shades and groups into those rooms. Shades that are not assigned to a room will show up in the Home room.
I also only gave you 20 characters to name your shades so placing them in rooms means you do not have to repeat the word kitchen for all the blinds in the kitchen. So you get another 20 characters to define each room. On the main screen, a selector will appear after you have created rooms that will allow you to select the only the motors in that room.

# Shade/Motor Setup
The ESPSomfy RTS device supports a maximum of 32 shades, blinds, or draperies. So if you live in a glass house don't throw rocks make another device. You can also modify the code to increase the SOMFY_MAX_SHADES value but you will eventually run out of memory on the ESP32. So stop being so cheap and build another $12 device.
