NOTES
1. The Level is accepted as a percentage, where 100% is fully open and 0% is fully closed.
2. The Fade and Delay time are optional. For shades, the Fade parameter has no effect (since shades
have fixed speeds) but it is required when specifying an optional delay. When not used, the system
will use a zero second delay. The minimum fade and delay time is 0 seconds. The maximum fade
and delay time is 4 hours.
3. Fractional seconds “SS.ss” will be rounded down to the nearest quarter second. For example, if a
delay time is specified as 1.45 seconds, a value of 1.25 seconds will be used.
4. When a Raise / Lower command is issued, the shade group’s level will continue to go towards
open / close until a Stop command is received.
5. Preset 0 is the Open Preset and Preset 30 is the Closed Preset.
6. Get (?) with action number 1, will only retrieve the level (not the delay).
