Shades Support

Using a Pico Wireless or 4-Group RF Remote Control with your Sivoia QS or Palladiom Wireless Shades allows you to adjust your shades from anywhere in the room, at the click of a button. In addition to the ability to raise and lower your shades, you can also use the Preset “Favorite” button on the remote to immediately set the shades to a predetermined level. 

A standalone application refers to when Caseta, RA2 Select, RadioRA, or HomeWorks are not being used. 

Step 1: Confirm that you have a Lutron Sivoia QS or Palladiom Wireless shade by identifying the button style shown below. 

The Sivoia QS and Palladiom drives have 4 buttons separated in the middle by an LED Indicator Light. A small, pointed object such as a stylus is required to press any of these four buttons. 

1. A QS Drive has one black rectangular button and one white rectangular button on one side of the Indicator Light. On the other side of the indicator light are a clockwise arrow button and a counterclockwise arrow button. 

2. A Palladiom Drive has one square button and one round button on one side of the Indicator Light. On the other side of the indicator light is an arrow up button and an arrow down button. These buttons are accessed by rotating the finish ring on the drive end of the shade.  

Step 2: Verify the Sivoia QS or Palladiom shade has a Wireless Receiver. * 

A wireless receiver (shown below) is required for wireless communication to a remote control. The wireless receiver may be located near the shade drive or mounted remotely anywhere between the shade and the power panel.  

QS drives usually have a wireless receiver mounted near the shade.  

Palladiom shades are more likely to have the wireless receiver mounted in a remote location by using the Wireless Receiver Adapter (shown below) which is included with all Palladiom Wireless shades. 

*If no Wireless Receiver is present, the shade cannot be controlled with a wireless control. A QSM may be used as an alternative to connect a wireless remote. Otherwise, a Wireless Receiver can be purchased and installed. 

Step 3: Place your shade in programming mode 

There are two different methods that can be used to program Sivoia QS or Palladiom Wireless Shades to wireless controls or vice versa. 

Forward Assignment Mode: This method starts at the wireless control. This method is preferred for 4 button Picos or installs where multiple shades will be programmed to a single wireless control. 

1. For Pico Wireless Remotes 
   
   a. Press and hold the Open & Close buttons simultaneously on the wireless control for 3 seconds. A slow flash should be seen on the Indicator Light of the wireless control. 
   
   b. The Electronic Drive Unit (EDU) will show slow LED feedback if it is unassigned or fast LED feedback if they are assigned.  
   
   c. Press any button on the shade drive and the LED on the shade will flutter quickly. Assign as many shades as desired.  
   
   d. Press and hold the Open and Close buttons simultaneously on the wireless control for 3 seconds. The Indicator Light on the EDU and wireless receiver will flutter and then stop showing LED feedback. 

2. For 4 Group RF Remotes  
   
   a. Select the desired group number first. The group button will stay on.  
   
   b. Quickly press and hold the Open & Close buttons simultaneously on the wireless control for 3 seconds. A slow flash should be seen on the Indicator Light of the wireless control. 
   
   c. The Electronic Drive Unit (EDU) will show slow LED feedback if they are unassigned or fast LED feedback if they are assigned.  
   
   d. Press any button on the shade drive and the LED on the shade will flutter quickly. Assign as many shades as desired.  
   
   e. Press and hold the Open and Close buttons simultaneously on the wireless control for 3 seconds. The Indicator Light on the EDU and the wireless receiver will flutter and then stop showing LED feedback. 

Reverse Assignment Mode: This method starts at the Electronic Drive Unit (EDU). This method is preferred when pairing a single wireless control to a single shade.  

         1. For Pico Wireless Remotes 

                   a. Press and hold the Open Limit button () on the drive. The LED indicator light will flash green quickly                       after 5 seconds, and then turn solid. 

                   b. Tap the Arrow button () closest to the indicator light. 

                   c. If the green indicator light and Wireless Receiver flash every 4 seconds, this indicates the shade is ready                       to be paired. 

                   d. If the green indicator light turns off within one second, this means your Sivoia QS or Palladiom shade is                         connected to a Lutron smart home system. In this case, you must pair your remote to your Sivoia QS                                 through your Lutron system. 

                              1. If a Caséta Smart Bridge or a RA2 Select system is installed, use the Lutron App to program and                                     control the shade. 
                              2. If a RadioRA 3 or HomeWorks system is installed, use the Lutron Designer software to program                                    your shade. 

                    e. Once the indicator light on your Sivoia QS or Palladiom Wireless shade is flashing green, press and hold                      the Close button on the Pico remote. 

6. The shade will move a short distance or “wiggle,” confirming a successful assignment 

7. Release the Close button on the Pico remote. 

Repeat this process again starting from Step 3.1 for each Sivoia QS or Palladiom Wireless Shade you would like to pair to the Pico remote. 

2. For 4-Group RF Remote Controls 

      a. Press and hold the Open Limit button () on the drive. The LED indicator light will flash green quickly after 5 seconds, and then turn solid 

      b. Tap the Arrow button () closest to the indicator light. 

      c. If the green indicator light and Wireless Receiver flash every 4 seconds, this indicates the shade is ready to be paired. 

       d. If the green indicator light turns off within one second, this means your Sivoia QS or Palladiom shade is connected to a Lutron smart home system. In this case, you must pair your remote to your Sivoia QS through your Lutron system. 

1. If a Caséta Smart Bridge or a RA2 Select system is installed, use the Lutron App to program and control the shade. 

2. If a RadioRA 3 or HomeWorks system is installed, use the Lutron Designer software to program your shade. 

       e. Once the indicator light on your Sivoia QS or Palladiom Wireless shade is flashing green, press and hold the desired group button you would like this shade assigned to.  

f. The shade will move a short distance or “wiggle,” confirming a successful assignment.  

g. Release the Shade Group button on the 4-Group Remote. 

Repeat this process again starting from Step 3.2 for each Sivoia QS or Palladiom Wireless Shade you would like to pair to the 4-Group Remote.
