Cradle system, multi function remote and method of use

A system for wirelessly controlling an architectural covering comprising:

• a motorized architectural covering having first shade material which extends an operating range between an open position and a closed position;
• wherein the operating image is divided into a plurality of jog positions;
• wherein a unique jog signal is assigned to the unique jog positions in the operating range;
• a remote control having a first open jog button and a first close jog button associated with the first shade material;
• wherein when the first open jog button is pressed the remote control transmits the unique jog signal associated with the next jog position in an open direction;
• and
• wherein when the first closed jog button is pressed the remote control transmits the unique jog signal associated with the next jog position in a close direction.

A remote control and cradle assembly comprising:

• a remote control having a generally planar front face and rear face;
• a remote magnet connected to and held by the remote control;
• a cradle having a sidewall extending around a back wall thereby defining a remote control cavity;
• the cradle having a cradle magnet connected to and held by the cradle;
• the cradle having a tilting recess;
• wherein when the remote control is positioned within the remote control cavity the remote magnet and cradle magnet are positioned in general alignment with one another and the remote magnet and cradle magnet magnetically attracted to one another thereby holding the remote control within the remote control cavity;
• and
• wherein when a portion of the remote control positioned over the tilting recess is pressed, the remote control tilts on a step thereby allowing for removal of the remote control from the cradle.
