    Device Count Questions - Wireless Sivoia Shade and Pico and RA2 Select

    I'm planning to have Sivoia QS shades installed (using wireless receiver on each shade) along with RA2 Select.

    1. Does BOTH the shade and the Pico used to control it each count as a unique device? In other words if I have 5 shades set up this way I would use up 10 devices out of my 100 limit?

    2. Does each Sivoia QS shade need (or should) have it's own dedicated Pico? Or can I just use a single Pico to control them in a group and if I wanted to control a shade individually I could use the app? (or homekit button, etc)

    I realize I might have just answered my own question #1 about device counts by asking #2 but I would appreciate confirmation.

    Thank you!

    If it has a radio it uses one address. So, yes, the Pico and the shade count as 2 addresses. Not that you are near the limit but keep in mind that 5 addresses are reserved for repeaters.

    That makes sense about the shares/picos and a radio = device. Also interesting to know about the reserved repeater count. I always thought that having 1 repeater meant that you had 99 devices to work with so good to know about the 5 reserved.

    Thank you.
