I’m building a new house and putting several Somfy roller shades in. We are also putting in retractable porch screens that use Somfy motors. I’m researching how to integrate these with HA and am getting confused with all the motor options and integration options. Can someone point me in the right direction?
My requirements/wants:
- The shades/screens have to be operational even if HA is down (WAF)
- I’d really like to run the shades off DC power so I can pre-wire low voltage wire from the shades to a central location (I don’t want wall outlets next to each window). But, the outdoor patio will screens will run off 110v (they are hardwired in)
- While not preferred, I’m OK with using an internet based API solution as long as there is a reasonable assumption the API access won’t go away
- I’d really prefer a solution that reports the shade/screen position to HA.
Does something exist that matches all the above?
