95 -ShowRunnerCLC™ can use output relays on Crestron hardware to control shades provided that the shades controller is capable of accepting a contact closure input for third-party control of the shades. All contact closure shade integrations are assumed to use two relays per shade zone with standard outputs as follows:

101 -Shade motors must be wired accordingly by the EC or the shades contractor (Chief Integrations technicians do not touch wiring). If the shades interfaces cannot be controlled this way, contact Chief Integrations to see about possibilities for support for shade controls using either a single relay or three or more relays per zone.

105 -* Crestron devices with output relays must be specified (refer to [[the above table>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Integrations Guide.Integration Options.Shades Integrations.WebHome||anchor="HCommonIntegrationMethods"]] for commonly specified hardware)
99 +* Crestron devices with output relays must be specified (refer to table above for commonly specified hardware)
106 106  * Two Crestron output relays must be available for each zone of shades to be controlled
107 107  ** Depending on the shade hardware and the job requirements, it may be possible to combine multiple shades to be controlled together onto a single pair of Crestron relays
108 -* It is recommended that shade interfaces be installed as close as possible to the Crestron relays controlling them to prevent issues from voltage drop or EMF interference in the wiring between the relay and the shade interface
102 +** Contact Chief Integrations if the shades manufacturer specifies either a single or more than two contact closures for third-party integration
103 +* Standard command outputs are as follows:
104 +** Open: close relay 1

115 -** If C2N-IO or other in-field relay modules are being used, then we must know which shade(s) in which room(s) are controlled by each C2N-IO
116 -** If a processor or other in-panel modules are being used, then we must know which shade(s) in which room(s) are controlled by relays 1 & 2, which are controlled by relays 3 & 4, etc. for each module
