Keep reading to learn how to control the shades at Wander Joshua Tree

Location of the controls

You can control the shades in the front guest room, back guest room, and master bedroom using the Wander app. In addition, each bedroom has a wall switch for the shades labeled Somfy. You can find it to the right of the door as soon as you enter the room.

How to operate the shades

You can open or close specific shades by tapping the window/curtain icon in the app's Control tab. If you want to make gradual adjustments to the shades, select the area of the home where you want to do so and drag the gray section up or down accordingly.

Here's a quick video to learn more about controlling the shades using the app.

For the Somfy controls, select the channel labeled Shade, then press the up or down arrow on the switch. When it reaches the desired height, push the Stop button. You may also gradually raise or lower the shade by holding the up or down button.

Watch this detailed video instruction to better guide you on how to adjust the shades!

Troubleshooting

Before pressing the up or down button on the Somfy controls, make sure to select the Shade channel. If any of the other channels/buttons are selected, the shades will not move. If no channel is selected, the shades will not budge too!

If the controls don't have any lights, the battery may need to be changed/recharged. If the manual blinds get stuck or you have any other issues, feel free to contact our Concierge Team anytime for assistance.
