Duplicating takes all of one remote’s information (Groups, Favorite, and radio frequency PowerView Shade Network ID) and copies that exact information onto another remote.This allows the user to have multiple, interchangeable Remotes to operate the same Groups of shades, regardless of which remote is used. Pairing, on the other hand, does not copy a remote’s Groups or Favorite information to another remote. Instead, pairing places multiple Remotes on a single, unified PowerView Shade Network for the home.
