Compatibility notes
- Shades talk to the hub over Hunter Douglas' proprietary 2.4 GHz RF mesh; the Gen 2 hub is the HomeKit bridge. HomeKit came to the Gen 2 hub via a firmware update (originally promised for 2017).
- Hunter Douglas help: Gen 2 Hub has an Ethernet port and can connect wired or wirelessly; internet needed for firmware downloads and time sync. Gearbrain lists BLE 4.0 and 802.11b/g/n.
- matter:5221:18500 (Hunter Douglas Group 'Gateway' 1012000283, Ethernet, Matter 1.2, certified 2024-09-27) is the PowerView Gen 3 gateway family, not the Gen 2 hub, so only a candidate. Gen 3 shades use Thread.
- Hub firmware version not found.
