Likely equipment
- Shuttle Go with integrated Wi-Fi, or
- Compatible Shuttle L/M plus Forest Wi-Fi Dongle

This checker provides an early planning direction only. Final compatibility depends on the exact motor version, receiver, accessory, smart-home platform, regional protocol and current Forest documentation.
Why compatibility needs checking
The motor, receiver, accessory and platform must work as one system.
Accessory route
Wi-Fi Dongle, Wireless Connector, smart plug, remote and wall-switch compatibility varies by motor.
Smart-home platform
Alexa, Google, Apple, Z-Wave and professional automation systems do not all connect in the same way.
Commissioning
The electrical supply, networking, automation programming and final handover responsibilities must be agreed.
Control compatibility FAQs
Which Forest motor includes Wi-Fi?
Shuttle Go includes its Wi-Fi control route for Forest Connect app setup. Other compatible motors may require a separate Forest Wi-Fi Dongle.
Which motors can use Z-Wave?
Forest publishes optional Z-Wave versions for Shuttle L and Shuttle M. The exact regional version and controller compatibility must be confirmed before ordering.
Can Shuttle iOn use app or voice control?
The rechargeable Shuttle iOn does not use the Forest Wi-Fi Dongle pathway. A compatible connector or third-party route may be required depending on the intended control system.
Which motor is intended for building management systems?
Shuttle AC is specifically positioned for building-management control. Shuttle L and M may also support wider automation pathways when supplied with the correct interfaces.
Can every remote control operate every Shuttle motor?
No. Compatibility varies by remote, wall switch and motor protocol. Forest EasyTouch is the broadest starting point, while some accessories exclude Shuttle Go.
Does the checker guarantee compatibility?
No. It provides an early planning direction. Final compatibility must be confirmed against the exact motor version, accessories, smart-home platform and current manufacturer documentation.
