Hi @011V32 !
Thanks for your words. Meanwhile, I ordered an IO-based roller-shutter, which will be installed in some weeks.
My problem is that - as you also mentioned - the local API capability is available ‘only’ on the Tahoma box, which is totally unnecessarily expensive if I do not want to use it for any other than the roller-shutter. The Connectivity kid could be enough, but currently (and maybe never will) not supported with local API. Locally controlled smart home ‘appliances’/devices offer the best security which should be absolutely one of the main goals of the manufacturers also. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
I will start with the Connectivity kit through the cloud, and hope for local API late. If will not be available that’s how I went, but it’s sure that Somfy will not my favourite brand
