Great component! I finally got the new Tahoma Switch working with Somfy RTS motor
One issue… a click on the open button in HA changes the position just couple of degrees. So I need to click the button multiple times to fully open or close, but after every click the systeem freezes for a couple of seconds before a can click again. My position is also not available for RTS.
Any idea how to solve this for a RTS device? I’m looking for yaml code to execute the open or close command for x seconds or somehow repeat the command in a short time.
This sounds like a bug or misconfiguration on the Somfy side to be honest. What is the behavior when you execute open / close from your TaHoma Switch app? If this has the same issues, than probably there is a misconfiguration somewhere.
If it works from your TaHoma Switch app, feel free to create an issue on GitHub.
Thx for the quick reply. Tahoma App has the same result, so I’ve contacted Somfy support.
Hello,
For those who have a Connexoon box, here’s some great news I just stumbled upon. You wanted a somfy cloud-free solution to control your somfy blinds? This guy did it!
I’ll try to replicate.
so glad we now have sensors or the discrete rssi level. thanks for that.
However, I see only 1 sensor in my setup, out of 7 IO screens/shutters/garagedoors…
in the screenshot above there’s proof the value was available on my devices before.
Could something have gone amiss?
Also, the MY position we posted on before that was set at 105, now has changed to 92! that could well be a real MY position I had set. So, to test this, I changed the MY position once again, but nothing changed in the HA integration sensor. I reloaded the integration, and still no change. I have now restarted HA completely, but still: 92%.
So, things are moving, but we’re not there yet
I am not sure what kind of Pergola you have, but I have a motorized pergola with slats and this is supported in the Overkiz by Somfy (custom integration, ha-tahoma), but not in the Somfy integration. This is because the original Somfy API doesn’t list this device currently.
You should be fine with a TaHoma V2 box, however the TaHoma Switch (new and cheaper) should work as well. If you just want local control, you could have a look at the Velux KFL 200, however I have no experience with that box and integration.
Did you enable the sensor for every device? It is disabled by default and you need to enable it. (and currently, you will probably need to reboot after enabling it due to a small bug).
Unfortunately, this is probably not something we can solve. We just return the response we receive from the Overkiz API directly…
Hello @imick thanks for reply. My pergola has 3 IO motors Somfy. The top, and two sun-covers. So purchasing 3 adapter or the Tahoma V2 box doesn’t make much difference in terms of price. Then with tahoma I’ll able to control more, in the future… what, i’ve no idea
Ok, then I’ll move to Tahoma V2 Box, and give a try to @tetienne solution Overkiz by Somfy.
Hope all will work well
Simon
What do you mean with 3 adapters? However, why not consider the TaHoma Switch? That one is a lot cheaper and has just been released by Somfy.
Shouldn’t buy one per motor?
I’ll look at the TaHoma Switch as well, but actually I’m not able to find a store for that and have no idea about the price. The Box V2 I’ve found is in offer, so that could be an option. Is there a particular reason to not use Box V2 expect price? Switch has zigbee, which is good, btw I’ve already a zigbee2mqtt setup.
Thanks @imick for your help!
Simon
No . You would just need one hub and it will communicate via the IO protocol with all your devices. One hub is enough. I would not use the Zigbee part of your hub though, since every command is going through the Somfy cloud, thus you can better run and control it locally via HA.
I would say that the TaHoma V2 is fine, however it is a bit older hardware and I don’t know about the future support. The TaHoma Switch is newer, but maybe hard to get in your country…
@tetienne anything to add?
You have wired command for your motors? If yes, just run away from Somfy, and buy a shelly 2.5 or a Fibaro Roller Shutter if you have a Zwave stick. You will have local control.
Hello @tetienne sorry not totally understood the question. The 3 motors are controlled actually with a Somfy 5 io Pure controller (this: https://www.somfy.it/soluzioni/1870330/situo-5-io-pure).
The motors are into the Pergola, i know they are controlled only via the controller (or the box if I purchase it) and no wired button to control them otherwise.
Thanks for the help! Simon
By the way I have contacted Somfy support (The Netherlands) 2 or 3 weeks ago (some problems with my smoke detectors in combination with the tahoma v1), i was complaining again about the missing local api support.
The support men was telling me that he gets a lot of complains and that there were considering it to have it at some time.
But I don’t believe it…but maybe.
Then I expect that they will only add it to the newest box Tahoma Switch. So I should definetly buy that box and not the Tahome V2.
Nooo… so sorry, this is way stupid… of course
do we have a link to a bug issue tracker? I do feel this should be fixed.
btw, what should be the entities we see on RTS devices? Right now, I only have the regular device with up/down arrows. there is a MY position registered, because I can set that using the service, but no entity is created for it, nor are any Rssi entities available (and yes, I check hidden entities… there are none)
Since the last Tahoma upgrade, I have also missing state. I will try to understand what happened.
Yes I know, but it is not sure if it also works with the Tahoma v1.
