Easily program your 5-channel remote using the 3 Day Blinds app to control up to 5 unique groups of shades and up to 10 individual window treatments at a time. The 3 Day Blinds remote operates via Bluetooth® Low Energy technology. The remote screen lights up the moment you touch the remote, so you know exactly which group was last used. Easy to use in any light. Once programmed to your Motorized Shades the remote is a convenient way to operate a single shade, or an entire room! The 3 Day Blinds remote control seamlessly blends into any decor and can be hand-held or wall mounted. Add the optional Remote Wall Mount to provide a convenient magnetic home for your remote. 

The remote control features 5 channels, giving you flexible control over your window treatments. Each channel can control a single shade individually, or you can group multiple shades on one channel to operate them together. The remote supports up to 10 shades total, with up to 10 shades assignable to a single channel. 

With 5 channels on your remote, you have full flexibility over how your shades are controlled. Assign one shade per channel for individual control, or group multiple shades on the same channel to move them all at once. Each remote can manage up to 10 shades in total — and you can assign all 10 to a single channel if needed.

With the 3 Day Blinds app, easily operate one shade or a whole group of shades with a simple tap. Want to manage the light and privacy in your home, hands-free? Schedule timers so your shades move automatically throughout the day, bringing effortless convenience to your everyday routine.

App features include:

Seamless setup and configuration of shades and accessories.

Create scenes to conveniently move your shades to specific positions with a single tap.

Program your scenes to activate automatically at different times of day using timers.

Timers can be scheduled for a specific time or based on your local sunrise or sunset.

Add a bridge to manage your home while you’re away, and to integrate with voice control assistants.

Yes! The 3 Day Blinds app comes standard with every motorized window treatment. The app allows your smartphone to communicate directly with your shades using Bluetooth Low Energy technology. Upgrade to the bridge to unlock smart home integration via Matter, and connect to your favorite smart devices including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. The bridge also enables remote access, so you can control your shades from anywhere in the world. 

Yes! The app is required for setup of your motorized products, but the remote is optional.

The 3 Day Blinds app is available for iOS and Android smart devices (iOS 15.6 or greater, Android 7.0 or greater). For the most up to date device requirements, refer to the notes in the Apple App Store or Google Play store.

The range for app operation without a bridge will vary depending on the following factors:

Environmental factors like closed doors, metal railings, brick, appliances, heated floors, etc

The User’s smartphone’s Bluetooth range.​ The Bluetooth radios in the remotes are stronger than the average smartphone, so in systems without a bridge, you may notice that app range is not as far as that of the remote

The shade’s top treatment, or if it is installed in a pocket, could also affect range. ​

Add a bridge, or multiple bridges if necessary, to improve range, reduce latency, and ensure whole home control in the app. Please note that the bridge does not affect remote range or operation. ​Choose either the remote or the app to operate your shades at any given time. Each shade's Bluetooth radio can only connect to the app or the remote at a single time. This means that if you are holding the remote, as soon as the remote wakes up it will automatically attempt to connect to the shades. This connection would override any attempted commands from the app happening at the same time

The 3 Day Blinds app is free and can be found on the Apple App Store and the Google Play store.

The bridge is an optional piece of hardware used to provide additional features and benefits, as listed below: ​

Integrates your smart shades with the popular home automation systems, enabling voice control and other smart home features. ​

Allows the app to connect to your shades remotely, from anywhere in the world. ​Reduces latency for app control in larger homes. ​

Extends ranges for app control in larger homes. ​

Drives precise hembar alignment for more than four shades of the same type in a single room. ​

Provides the best whole home control when shades are in multiple rooms. ​

Ensures your Timers always stay on time and in sync, by regularly updating shade clocks. ​

Add a bridge if you want to integrate with smart home automation systems or access shades remotely, and for larger homes. If you are ordering 5 or more shades, we'd recommend adding a bridge for optimal performance and whole home control.  ​

Yes.  The 3 Day Blinds hub requires a 2.4 or 5 Ghz Wi-Fi network.

Yes, if you add a bridge. You can adjust your Motorized products from anywhere using the 3 Day Blinds app, as long as your 3 Day Blinds bridge is connected to your home’s network.

Each bridge typically has a range of about 40-50 feet. Actual range may vary depending on factors such as construction materials (e.g. concrete or brick), elevators, heated flooring, and other structural elements. Typically, one bridge can cover a home that is 2,000 square feet or smaller, with 15 or less shades​.

We recommend ordering one bridge for a home ~2,000 square feet or smaller, with 15 or less shades​. The bridge should be placed in a location central to the shades. Please note additional considerations below.

Each bridge can connect to a max of 15 shades within range. Add additional bridges as needed.

In larger homes, homes with shades spread across wider spaces in the home, or when environmental factors interfere with RF signal (concrete, brick, elevators, heated flooring, aquariums), more than one bridge will be required to cover the entire home.

For homes with multiple floors, order 1 bridge per floor.​

A Scene is a combination of pre-programmed actions for your Motorized Shades and drapery hardware. Scenes allow you to customize a series of actions together to create an event and to easily adjust the lighting in your home throughout the day.

Timers allow you to set a single shade, group of Shades, or a scene to trigger events at a specific time. This is helpful for rooms where light hits a section of your home at a specific time.

Yes. In your timers section you can select a sunrise or sunset timer. These timers have a 90 before and after range for sunrise and sunset, meaning you can set your Shades to open or close within that range.
