All of the motors are Somfy Sonesse 30s and all of my wall panels are the DecoFlex WireFree multi-channel panels.  I’m having problems in multiple rooms, but the living room is most illustrative so I’ll use that as an example.  The living room as a total of seven different shades, three of them are on one set of windows facing west and there are two each on a pair of windows facing north.  Right now all of the each set of shades (west, north 1, north 2) are controlled with channels 1,2,3 respectively.  I would like to change it so that channel 1 controls ALL the shades and 2,3,4 control the individual groups.

So I set about attempting to program the western set of three shades to respond to channel 4.  This seems like a simple task of adding a new channel to those shades, but here is what happens.  When I put the panel into program mode only two of the three shades ‘jog’ to acknowledge the programming command.  I can successfully add channel #4 and get those to shades to respond to commands from channel 4, but never the third shades.  All three shades continue to respond to channel 1.

Is there any reason the shade wouldn’t respond to being programmed?  It is obviously functional.

The same issue is occurring on all the other sets of shades - one shade responds to the programming command, the other ignores it.

I’d be grateful for any help I could get.

Can we start a list here?

We’re going to be wiring a warehouse and the client needs cat 5 dropped to a couple locations throughout a huge, empty warehouse. The drops will not be close to any support columns and the floor needs to be clear for fork lifts.

I need a way of safely and securely dropping cat 5 from the ceiling (30 ft by the way) down to floor level and have it supported.

Does anyone have ideas?

Are there issues with ASCAP licensing with a device like this?

Thanks a lot everyone.

Thanks

I know it isn’t that fancey but it works great when someone else has done the pre-wire.
