What this means for your home
Open the bedroom at 7, close the west windows at 3, all shades down at sunset: schedules run on the hub, so they work when the phone is away.
"Hey Siri, lower the living room" works through Matter and HomeKit without a bridge.
Two-way ARC means the app shows each shade’s position and battery, so you know which one needs charging before it stops.

Upgrading from Pulse 2
Pulse 2 is discontinued. It keeps working, but new integrations (Matter, HomeKit) and new shades pairing into the app need Pulse PRO. Existing Rolli customers can swap the hub without changing any shade; Rolli re-pairs the shades during a visit or by phone.
Questions
The hub, answered
Do I need a hub?
No. The Rolli Remote runs up to 15 shades with no hub. The hub adds the app, schedules, voice control and whole-house scenes.
Does it work with Apple Home?
Yes, through Matter and HomeKit, both listed by Rollease Acmeda for Pulse PRO. Pulse 2 did not.
How many hubs for a large house?
One hub covers about 3,000 ft² and 30 shades. Larger homes add an ARC repeater (up to two per network) or a second hub.
Does Pulse PRO replace Pulse 2?
Pulse 2 is listed as discontinued by Rollease Acmeda and the Pulse PRO is the current hub. Rollease does not use the word "replaces"; the comparison page shows Pulse PRO as the successor.
