Shades Support

Using a Pico Wireless or 4-Group RF Remote Control with your Triathlon 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.  This is for standalone applications where Caseta, RA2 Select, RadioRA, or HomeWorks are not being used.

Step 1: Confirm that you have a Lutron Triathlon shade by the button style. 

Roller Shades - The Triathlon roller shade features a single LED-equipped control button (the ‘Shade Button’), located on the Electronic Drive Unit on the left- or right-hand side of the headrail. 
 

Honeycomb - The Triathlon Honeycomb shade features a single LED-equipped control button (the ‘Shade Button’), located on the Electronic Drive Unit (EDU), in the headrail near the center of the shade. 

Wood Blinds - The Triathlon Wood Blind features a single LED-equipped control button (the ‘shade button’), located on the Electronic Drive Unit (EDU), in the headrail near the left end of the blind. 

4 Button Shades - If your shade has 4 buttons it is a Sivoia QS, Sivoia QS Wireless, or Palladiom Shade and you should refer to the following link for: Programming a Lutron Sivoia QS Shade to a Remote

Step 2: Verify standalone operation 

The Shade Button is used to activate and indicate various steps while assigning and programming the shade for compatible handheld or system-based remote control. 

1. Press the Shade Button on your Triathlon Shades and observe for a solid green indicator light.         

2. If the green indicator light remains illuminated, this indicates the shade is ready to be paired, follow step 3.1 to assign a Pico remote control, or step 3.2 to assign a Lutron 4-Group remote control. 

3. If the green indicator light turns off within one second, this means your Triathlon Shade is connected to a Lutron smart home system. In this case, you must pair your remote to your Triathlon Shade through your Lutron system. 
   
           a. If a Caséta Smart Bridge or a RA2 Select system is installed, use the Lutron App to program and control the shade. 
           b. If a RadioRA 3 or HomeWorks system is installed, use the Lutron Designer software to program your shade. Please visit www.lutron.com/wheretobuy to find a locally trained and certified Lutron Dealer.  

Step 3: 

1. For Pico Wireless Remotes 
   a. Once the indicator light on your Triathlon Shade is illuminated solid green, press and hold the “Close” or bottom button on your Pico Wireless Remote for 10 seconds.  
   
   b. The indicator light on the Triathlon Shade and Pico Wireless Remote will begin to flash green which indicates that pairing was successful. 
   
   c. Release the “Close” or bottom button on the Pico Wireless Remote. 

           d. Repeat this process again, starting from Step 3.1.a., to pair a new Triathlon shade to the same remote or to pair a second Pico Wireless Remote to the same shade. 

2. For 4-Group RF Remote Controls 
   
   a. Once the indicator light on your Triathlon Shade is illuminated solid green, you must press and hold one of the Shade Group buttons 
   
   b. You should see that the green indicator light on the Triathlon Shade will begin to flash which indicates that your 4-Group Remote has been successfully paired 
   
   c. At this point, you can release the “Close” button on the 4-Group Remote. 
   d. Repeat this process again, starting from Step 3.1.a., to pair a new Triathlon shade to the same remote or to pair a second Pico Wireless Remote to the same shade.
