III. Notes
The Somfy URTSI 2 supports 200 groups of individual shades and groups consisting of more than one shade.
In the Somfy product line-up, roller shades, honeycomb shades, and transition shades all have the same controls. In this
document, and in Design Center, all of them are referred to generically as 'shades.'
Somfy products ARE NOT compatible with the RS-485 station. If a similar setup is desired and you are using RS-485
communication, it is best to use an RS-232 station with an RS-485 to RS-232 converter. For more information, see the
Installation Steps section.

    Hold the “PROG” button until the shade jogs. Somfy products ARE NOT compatible with the Vantage RS-485 station. If a station is wanted or needed and you are using the RS-485 communication, you will need to use an RS-232 station with an RS-485 adapter, both are pictured below. We recommend the B&B converter with a null modem attached for two way communication.
