General / Hub
What is the 3 Day Blinds Hub?
The 3 Day Blinds Hub allows you to use the 3 Day Blinds Motorized App. The hub connects to a Wi-Fi router and communicates with 3 Day Blinds motorized window treatments. It allows control of your shades from anywhere in the world. Please note, a 2.4 GHz network is required.
Do I need a Wi-Fi connection for the 3 Day Blinds Hub?
Yes the 3 Day Blinds hub requires a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi Network.
How do I know if I have a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi Connection?
Most modern routers are dual band and operate at both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz. The best way to ensure that your home network is compatible is to call your internet provider and ask them to identify your 2.4Ghz frequency or make that frequency visible from
your router settings. This is a very common request to internet providers and should be able to be resolved fairly quickly. You can also watch this video to learn more about
the 2.4Ghz band.
Whats the difference between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz?
Virtually all WiFi routers have both 5GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency. The 2.4 Ghz frequency offers a wide coverage area and is better at penetrating solid objects such as walls, therefore, the 3 Day Blinds Hub can only be set up with the 2.4 Ghz frequency with a reliable and steady connection.
Can I really control my Motorized Window Treatments from anywhere in the world?
Yes. You can adjust your motorized shades and drapery hardware from anywhere using the 3 Day Blinds Motorized App as long as your 3 Day Blinds Hub is connected to your home’s internet network.
What is the range on the 3 Day Blinds Hub?
Each hub has a range of up to 98 feet, however, optimal coverage is within 65 feet.
How many hubs do I need for my home?
We recommend using 2 hubs for uninterrupted coverage for an average sized, single story 4 bedroom house. If you have a second story in your home we recommend a hub for that story as well
Rooms
What are Rooms in the App?

Scenes & Timers
What is a Scene?
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. Scenes can be controlled on the app or by voice control add a timer to a scene for enhanced control.

Absolutely, you can add a timer to any scene to fully customize when your scenes will run.
Will my Scenes and Schedules work even if my mobile device is not at home?
Yes. All Scenes are stored in the 3 Day Blinds Hub. That means, your Scenes and Timers will continue to operate your motorized window treatments at the programmed time to the pre-set position even if the mobile device is not in the home.
What do Timers do?
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.
