Shades only go to 53% responding to ON

[kk6ou]

I wonder if anyone has seen this.  I have some zwave shades and added them to my EISY and they only go to 53% when I give them the ON command.  However if I give them a FADE UP command they go all the way up.  I was wondering if there is a work around to this.  The reason I want them to work with the ON command is so I can integrate them with Amazon Echo devices.

I have a different brand and they have to be calibrated to the top and the bottom before usage. Has that been done before remote controlling them?

What brand are the shade motors

What type of interface are you using between the eisy and  the shade motors

They are Graber shades.  I'm using them with the ZWave module in the EISY and the UD portal in my Android phone.   I've never heard of calibrating them.  That may have been by the installer.  I have a remote that came with them and that works fine.  How is that done?  

Thanks for the responses!

@kk6ou

The Graber shades use the Somfy motors. What you need to do is set the open and closed positions you want using the remote that came with the shades, you may have to press a button on the shade motors in order to write those positions to the motor memory.

Check your documentation.
