First you need to select the radio type. If you do not know what type of motor radio you have it is likely a 56-BIT motor. Leave it here for now. Next review each of the pin selectors and set them to the proper pin assignment for your wiring. The screen will default to the default wiring from the hardware build but please double check to ensure these values match the way you wired the transceiver. If you used a wired Ethernet board these will most definitely not be correct.
First you need to select the protocol and radio type. If you do not know what type of motor radio you have it is likely an RTS protocol with a 56-BIT motor. ESPSomfy-RTS supports the RTW or the RTS protocol. If your remote is a Telis RTS, Chronis RTS, Situo RTS, or a Smoove RTS then you for sure have an RTS motor. However, if your documentation mentions RTW or you have an ASA motor then select the RTW protocol. The protocol and the radio type that you set here will be the values that are used as the default when you create a new shade. You will have the opportunity to set these for each individual motor later.
Next review each of the pin selectors and set them to the proper pin assignment for your wiring. The screen will default to the default wiring from the hardware build but please double check to ensure these values match the way you wired the transceiver. If you used a wired Ethernet board these will most definitely not be correct.
After you have verified the pins, click the `Enable Radio` checkbox and then press the `Save Radio` button. ESPSomfy RTS will now enable the transceiver into receive mode so you can tune your radio. Once the radio has been enabled, the `Radio not Initialized` header will disappear from the screen. If the message does not disappear, then you likely have an issue with your pin selections.
You can view all incoming frames from your remotes with the `Logs` button. This will display the frames with the most recently received frame at the topmost position. Pressing the `Copy` button will copy the current command list into your clipboard. If you are submitting an issue that ESPSomfy RTS doesn't recognize a particular command this will help with debugging and allow me to provide further assistance.

## Tune your Transceiver
The default tuning parameters are most likely not the best settings for your transceiver. To start, first select the RX Bandwidth to 96.96kHz and the Frequency Deviation to 11.43kHz. You can use the arrows on your keyboard to fine tune the value. Then press the `Save Radio` button. Next, using a remote from about 3 feet away press one of the buttons. ESPSomfy RTS should pick up the signal and provide an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value. This number is a measurement of how strong the signal is. The closer this value gets to 0 indicates a stronger received signal.

* ***Tilt Motor*** - The motor assembly is actually two motors in one where a long press on the remote moves the slats open or closed and a short press raises or lowers the blind.
* ***Integrated*** - When the up button is pressed the slats fully open before the motor raises the blind. Conversely, the down button fully closes the slats before lowering the blind.

In another example, if it takes 9.5 seconds to go from full down to full up then that would be 9500 milliseconds. Keep in mind the up time and the down time can be different depending on the weight of the fabric and you can make adjustments these values at any time in the future. You will find this to be remarkably precise and always in sync if you set this up correctly. Burn a minute to time your shades and they will always be in sync.
If you have an 80-bit motor you can select the step size. This is a relative size used for the tilt wheel on your remote. After selecting the 80-bit setting an additional slider will appear on the screen. You will need to experiment with this as it is a ratio of the lift and tilt timing. This is used to keep the position in sync whenever the nudge wheel is engaged.
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.
