``` I was able to program our 5 shades to close (lower) and raise (open) our shades. Worked fine when pressing command on phone - but - verbal commands wouldn't work properly. I discovered on the Google Home app there is an option to set up "routines". I set a "one action" routine for each shade. When I say "Hey Google,Lower shade one" - the action is "Close Somfy Shade 1". ``` I created 2 groups of shades so that one command can control multiple shades, “Hey Google, Lower shades group 1” Actions taken are: “Close Somfy shades 1” “Close Somfy shades 2” “Close Somfy shades 3” ---

Thanks for sharing that trick! The Somfy shades also support learning multiple remotes. So you could program all the shades in one room to respond to a single “all bedroom shades” Bond device. However, note that that then breaks the “Hey Google, close all shades” feature, as Google will ask Bond to close everything _twice_ and it confuses the shades.
