7. Rename Multi-Service Shade Tiles (If Applicable)

     • Maximum name length is 24 characters; names longer than this will be truncated
     • Each name must be unique and not reused for any other shade or device
     • Shade tiles import using the PowerView Room and Shade name; you may shorten this after assigning rooms
       • To rename a tile:
       • Press and hold the tile → tap the gear icon → tap Name
       • Enter the new name → tap Next → tap the back arrow to save
       • For more naming strategies, refer to the “Tips and Tricks for Products with Multiple Services” section.

Using Voice Commands to Operate Shades

You can control your PowerView® window treatments using any Google Assistant-enabled device. Voice control supports individual shades, entire rooms, and scenes (if created as Routines in the Google Home app).

To issue a command:

• Say “Hey Google” or “OK Google”
• Follow with the shade name, room name, or scene name

Example voice commands:

• “OK Google, tilt Sun Room to 25 percent”
• “OK Google, open Bedroom Left”
• “Hey Google, close the shades”

NOTE: For best results, ensure each shade and scene has a unique and clearly recognizable name, especially if using multi-service shades or custom room names.

• This tile has no functional control
• Keep the original name for the Manifest Shade with no controls.
• Optional: Move to a different room to reduce confusion
• IMPORTANT: This tile must remain in the app; it cannot be deleted. It may be necessary to activate the shade tile and watch the shade to determine whether the tile you are tapping controls the primary or secondary function. 

Tile 2: Primary Shade Control
Examples of the primary shade control would be the bottom rail for Top-Down Bottom-Up and Stacking Duolite Shades, or the front shade for rolling Duolite, A Deux, or Independent Operable Liner. The primary shade control will allso include tilt control if available. Use these guidelines to name the tile based on the product type: 

Tile 3: Secondary Shade Control
Examples of the secondary shade control would be the top-down service for Top-Down Bottom-Up or stacking Duolite shades, or the room darkening liner for rolling Duolite, A Deux or Independent Operable Liner. Use these guidelines for naming the secondary function: 

Character Limit and Naming Conflicts

• Shade names are limited to 24 characters
• Longer names are automatically truncated, which can cause voice control issues
• Each tile name must be unique within the Google Home environment
• Example Conflict:  If a tile in a room called “Main Bedroom” is automatically shortened to “Main Bedroom Shade Botto,” the missing “m” may prevent voice recognition. In this case, consider simplifying room or shade names to avoid truncation.

Limit and Naming ConflictsVoice Command Reliability

If tiles are not renamed, voice commands may fail or produce inconsistent results. For best performance, always use the renamed tile names when issuing voice commands.
