In short

Staff response: Best choice if you want full Homebar support is any HomeKit Shade -- you would use a Lutron Connect box to do this with RR2.

I'm considering the following brands of motorized shades: Hunter Douglas (Homekit), Graber (Somfy) and Lutron (RadioRA 2). I would like the shades to show up in the Roomie Homebar, just like the picture shows on the first page of the Roomie website.

Many of my shades will have open/close + tilt. The others will just be open/close. I would like to control open, close, and tilt via Homebar scenes. I will also control the shades via local keypads and other timers outside of Roomie.

My question to the community is will Roomie control any or all of these shade systems via Homebar scenes, and will Roomie recognize the current state of the shades if I also control them outside of Roomie using keypads or other means? Are any of these brands easier to integrate and control with Roomie?
