Troubleshooting
- Wand not rotating: Ensure the device is properly clipped onto the wand. Check that the wand isn't jammed or stuck.
- Tilt range too small: Recalibrate the open/close positions. Some blinds have limited tilt range by design.
- Device slipping: Use the adhesive stabilizer mount. Ensure clip is properly tightened around the wand.
- Light sensor not responding: Enable light-based automation in app. Adjust sensitivity thresholds. Check sensor isn't blocked.
- Multiple blinds out of sync: Use group feature in app. Set the same schedule for all devices. Recalibrate any that are misaligned.
