What happened? What did you expect to happen?

Amazing software/hardware BTW. Radio still feels magical to me so when my shades started jogging last night it rekindled the love and joy of technology!

I'm using @Spokplacenta's fork for the Waveshare POE W5500 support and having some trouble getting one group to work.

Both shades work independently.

I tried adding both shades to a group but only one of the shades is controlled by that group. Then when I unpaired the shade that wasn't working, the group then controlled both shades! My conceptual understanding is that the shades have some set number of addresses and those addresses get commands with a counter. Perhaps I paired it twice with the same group and that was sending conflicting messages so when I unpaired one group the previous group code was working?

Would appreciate any thoughts. I'm new to Somfy shades (inherited this older system from a house I just bought). I'm a bit terrified because I have the remotes but I don't have any way of resetting the shades that I'm aware of - they're in the ceiling headers and I don't see a switch or anything anywhere.

How to reproduce it (step by step)

1.  Pair two shades
2.  Add both shades to a group
3.  Observe that group only controls 1 shade
4.  Remove the shade that doesn't work from group
5.  Observe that group now controls both shades??
