  • Shade Type: Change the types of curtains.

  • Position/Angle Micro-adjustment: When the curtain is fully closed (angle/travel at 0), tapping the Pause icon will trigger a micro-adjustment based on the configured fine-tuning range.

NOTE:

If a curtain supports both travel and angle micro-adjustment, angle fine-tuning takes priority.

Behavior when tapping Pause:

Lighting group control

NOTE:

  • The device group should be created using the BelaHome app (Go to the home page, tap any desired device > Device Group, and add devices into the group).

  • Group Control Capabilities

    • Devices with the same capabilities (e.g., RGB lights) will display those capabilities for the entire group.

    • Devices with different capabilities will only display the common capabilities in the group. For example, if a switch light and a dimmable light are grouped, only the switch capability will be shown.

To control the configured lighting group, long press the blank area on the homepage, go to > Device > Light, select the group, and tap Add.

Multi-control association

This feature links switches and lights to keep their on/off states synchronized. When one device changes state, all associated devices update accordingly. For example, if multiple switches control the same light, associating them ensures they reflect the same on/off status.

TIP:

The association can be configured on the large-screen panels or BelaHome app.

Virtual three-level dimming group

For unified control of non-dimmable lights (on/off only), you can create a virtual three-level dimming group. This allows you to assign a set number of lights to each brightness level for group control.

NOTE:

This feature must be configured in the user web portal (Go to Dimming Group > Add).

To control the configured dimming group, long press the blank area on the homepage, go to > Device > Light, select the group, and tap Add.
