Why does the connection to the roller type shades fail when connecting to the app?

For Roller, Zebra, Roman, Woven Wood, Shangri-La, Outdoor, and Dual Shades.

If you're experiencing issues when trying to connect your SmartWave shades to the app, here are the possible causes and troubleshooting steps:

 

Cause 1: Shades not in pairing mode

Solution: Please try again to put the shades motor into pairing mode.
 

Cause 2: Missing thread border router in the app

Solution: Please ensure that your app is connected to a compatible Thread border router for the app and that the router is functioning properly.
Please note that due to the limitations of Amazon device features, the Echo (4th Gen) can only add about 3-5 devices.

Cause 3: Weak signal strength

Solution: Make sure to place the thread boundary router near the shades, no more than 30 feet away. Additionally, ensure that the antenna of the shade motor remains exposed and is not obstructed by any objects.
 

Cause 4: System failure

Solution: Put the motor into sleep mode and perform the initialization.

Note: If you purchased the Hardwired DC 12V model, simply unplug the power cable to disconnect the power, wait for a few minutes, and then reconnect the power cable.
 

Cause 5: Data Conflict Caused by iOS System

Solution: If you are using an iPhone or iPad and connecting via the Apple Home app, a failed connection may result in erroneous Matter data.  Go to your iPhone or iPad's Settings > General > Matter Accessories page and check if any SmartWave shades are leftover. If so, tap "Edit" in the top right corner of the Matter page, then select the red delete icon to remove them from all services.

Once you've identified and resolved the potential causes listed above, you can try reconnecting your SmartWave shades to the app.
