About AUTOMATE PULSE 2
The Pulse 2 hub and App has been re-designed to embrace the architecture of a home and provide effortless control of Automate motorized shades. Easily operate or Personalize the daily routine of shades; organising them by room, grouping them by scenes and automating them with timers. Unlock the convenience of smart shade operation, with the Pulse 2 with Version 3.0
The new Automate Pulse 2 App not only allows you to activate, adjust and automatically position your shades but does so through One Tap on the Shade Tiles. One Tap to close, One Tap to open and One Tap to activate and stop scenes. A double tap stops a shade’s operation, and a single long press opens a dedicated shade control screen giving you access to more customized settings.
White tiles indicate the shade is open or partially open and a grey tile indicates the shade is closed.
Quickly view the Health Status of all your shades. A summary screen displays the battery levels of all your shades along with signal strength indicators, prompting necessary action to either charge your motors or troubleshoot connections.
Pulse 2 App lets you create an automation routine, and once setup, autonomously raises and lowers your smart shades at the optimal time, so your home’s climate is always at its best.
The Automate Pulse 2 app has been designed to make controlling your shades easier than ever with a long list of features and control options!
MOTOR TYPES
The Pulse 2 Hub supports a variety of shade types including: Roller Shades, Romans, Awnings, Drapery, Venetians, Cellular, Skylights, Large Outdoor Shades.
LIVE FEEDBACK VIA ARC
ARC technology enables live communication between your Pulse 2 and Automate shades, so you always know what position your shades are in, as well as the battery percentage of your motor. Quickly check shade information within the app or ask Siri to check for you!
SUNRISE AND SUNSET DETECTION
Utilizing your home’s time zone and location, the Pulse 2 can automatically raise or lower your Automate shades according to the position of the sun. Set a ‘Morning’ scene and watch all your shades promptly rise when you start your day, or create an “Evening” scene that will dynamically alter based on the sunset in your location.
SCENES
Personalize shade control and organise how your shades operate by specific daily events or scenes automatically at the optimal time. Creating a scene for your entire home can be completed effortlessly with a Scene capture button.
SHADE HEALTH
Check the health of your motorized shades at a glance with Battery level and Signal strength icons on your device tiles.
COMPLETE CONTROL HOME AND AWAY

Enjoy your time away from home without having to stress about your shades, the Automate app allows you to remotely access your shades, know their position and operate them as you would if you were home.
PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE

Changes
In this update to the Pulse 2 app, we have re-designed the App to easily operate or personalise the daily routine of your shades; By introducing “Tiles”
Go to our website for videos and more as there is too much to add here.
Operation of Tiles
Simply touch the tile and the shade will move;
If the tile is open the shade will close or if the tile is closed it will open. If the shade is not moving in the intended direction, touching the tile again the shade will move in the opposite direction.
We have also introduced smart prediction, and this means if the shade is not open or closed, by touching the tile the shade will move open or close based on the time of the day.
A long press on the tiles will allow additional functions or double tapping a tile while it’s moving will stop the shade room or scene.
Tiles also include haptic feedback so you know if you have opened or closed the shade.
Bi-directional feedback
White tiles indicate the shade is open or partially open and a grey tile indicated the tile is closed.
Shade Health
We have also introduced shade health and which lets you see all the shades on one screen in terms of signal strength and battery percentage.
Shade tiles also include health and a red indicator means the battery is below 30% or the signal strength is poor
Scenes Timers and Rooms
Every screen has been redesigned with a fresh new look including a new way to do everything that is so intuitive you have to try it.
