Hi there,
I used this method today and pretty happy with the results, thanks for the tip!
The hardware build was very easy, but the software seems a bit trickier, HA using ZHA detects the relay board as Tuya T0004 and it works, but the switches latch. Are you perhaps aware how I might set/emulate them as momentary?
I came at this from a different angle using a cheap RFM69HCW module and a Pi Pico W, which can be put together easily for next to nothing.
The Pico runs a web interface for configuration, and uses MQTT to integrate with HA.
Itās fully open source here: [GitHub - MarkGodwin/somfy_pico]
Itās Somfy RTS only, but offers complete local control and supports >100 covers. YMMV!
Sound amazing - how did you get those remote addresses?
This seems like a no-brainer to meā¦ local control with support from a third-partyā¦ which integrates easily with HA (and Hubitat which I also care about).
Just because I donāt see it recommended here:
Somfy also sells a ~realtively~ cheap Somfy 1870755 Connectivity Kit that apparently works with the Overkiz integration. Itās 60ā¬ and should be a complete solution, for those who donāt want to tinker.
The Problem of the Connectivity Kit: It only transmitt and do not receive, so in HA you do not know what the actual state of the blind is.
And it doesnāt calculate the actual position over time, so an percentage use is not possible and so the integration for example in HomeKit is not possibleā¦
