The E-Wand is a wireless, retrofit solution for blind slat motorization with a multitude of control methods including manual control, remote control, grouping capabilities, and automated movement through integrated light and temperature sensors. -To control the E-Wand manually, after installing the E-Wand on your blinds and programming the open and close positions (MUST set positions before unit will operate) , simply perform a slight twist of the E-Wand handle, which requires significantly less dexterity than a traditional tilt wand. - The optional multi-channel remote control can be utilized to enhance and customize usability of the device, as well as make precise slat movements. -Group multiple E-Wand together to simultaneously control multiple devices. -Integrated light and temperature sensors can automate slat movement in three different modes: off, fully automatic, and semi-automatic. The fully automatic mode allows the E-Wand to close and open blind slats, while the semi-automatic mode will only close the blind slats. The patented sensor algorithm measures incremental increases and decreases in light, and has timers built in to prevent unwanted sensor movement after a manual movement. - The E-Wand is battery powered and will operate under normal use for over a year before requiring a battery change. - This package includes a single white E-Wand, batteries, and the mounting accessories. Remote control sold separately. Compatible with most horizontal blinds and wand tilt vertical blinds, may not be compatible with heavy blinds- to verify the E-Wand will work on your heavy blinds, manually twist the tilt stem of your blinds with your fingers. If you encounter significant resistance, the E-Wand may not be compatible. - If you encounter an issue with installation, programming, or function, please feel free to contact us directly. WARNING: BATTERIES MUST BE INSTALLED CORRECTLY FOR CORRECT OPERATION.
