Control Somfy Blinds

(interior and exterior)

 

Our Open APIs give access to blinds control on all key end user control actions.

To control Somfy radio motors through our APIs, a Somfy box (TaHoma or Connexoon) with Somfy protocols will be required.

It will enable the end user to create his account with Somfy and use the embedded protocol to control our motors (initial pairing and then control).

  • TaHoma for io-homecontrol or RTS motors
  • Connexoon io for io motors
  • Connexoon RTS for RTS motors

Protocols Compatibilities

Somfy offers rolling shutter motors under two radio protocols.

 
 
IO Homecontrol

 

io-homecontrol®

io-homecontrol is a secured bi-directional radio protocol allowing equipment to give feedback on their status and fine position control. Ideal for Smart Home and remote control. It is also secured with an encryption key dedicated to each installation. io-homecontrol is integrated a multi-brand wireless technology, used by major players (Velux, CIAT, Atlantic, Secuyou and Window Master) and a reference technology for professionals.
