I followed the steps mentioned here, but i don’t see any devices in hassio. Also the API response from somfy only shows the Tahoma hub, so i’m guessing they didn’t implement support for devices linked to Tahoma yet? I also tried to contact their support but there’s no response…

I used your PR to create a custom_component with the increased scan time.
What should i say, take a look at the log :pensive:

Logfile.txt

751

In your custom component, you well have SCAN_INTERVAL = timedelta(seconds=30)?

@teejaynl01 Indeed, if you only see your hub in the API response, it means your device is not supported? What kind is it?

752

@tetienne I took the content from here https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/somfy and changed SCAN_INTERVAL = timedelta(seconds=10) to SCAN_INTERVAL = timedelta(seconds=30)
Everything else is left unchanged

753

i only have the somfy RTS curtains. Do i need to remove and re-ad the curtains to the tahoma hub again?

754

Contact the Somfy support throught the dev website, give them the PIN code of your Tahoma and tell them you cannot see your blinds.

755

That explains it.
I can see all my blinds but no awning.
I hope they catch up with that soon
Thanks for your great help

Hello

Since I switched to the SOMFY API to control shutters, I have a big problem.

I have a group (see code below) that allows me to close all the shutters or shutters of the top or bottom shutters for example. With the Tahoma module from before, it worked perfectly. As soon as I clicked on close or open, all the shutters were closed or opened immediately and all at the same time. If I asked Google to close all shutters at 50% for example, it was the same thing worked perfectly.

Since switching to the SOMFY API, randomly, it closes such as 3 shutters at once then a few seconds after a 4th, then a 5th and 6th etc … As soon as the last part closes that after 45 seconds. Once, it closes 5 at once and the rest after … It’s really super random.
Since the Tahoma app on iOS it works perfectly.

Do you know if I need to change something to make it work like before?

thank you for your comeback

Code

Hey volks,

Maybe I missed it in this very long thread:
Is there a way to set-up the Somfy tahoma Official API on a manually installed HA.

Are there sensors like temperature and light, which I lost since HA somfy plugin is useless.

Thx
Jan

So to sum up, all your covers move, but there is a random delay? Can you try with group.all_covers instead?

759

Compatible devices are listed here: https://developer.somfy.com/products-services-informations

I gave up. This is unusable in its current state.

  • The log is full with errors related to covers
  • The automations are absolutely unreliable. Most of the time not all 7 covers do what they are supposed to
  • Updating the current state fails most of the time

All of the above worked flawless with the tahoma integration. Sad that it doesn’t work anymore.
I will do the control over the Tahoma box and kick the covers out of HA.
Even more sad, that the cover were the reason for me to start up HA and automate the whole home.
Thanks for the effort anyway…

Sounds promising. Thanks for the hint

Hi Alex,

I have a similar issue on my side. Sometimes (in the mornings or evenings) I want to open / close all covers at the same time. And then - randomly - some covers are just “forgotten”. My guess is that the Somfy server is chocking, getting 10 requests almost instantly - it can only process so many requests, the others are lost or discarded.
One option would be to create a Scenario in the Somfy environment and trigger that scenario from your home assistant instance via IFTTT. Another option - that’s what I wanna try - is to request three covers to move, put a delay: ‘00:00:01’ in the automation and move the next three or four covers.

We’ll see, if it helps…

Regards,

R.

Hi all, I was using Tahoma scenes to control my external blinds (RTS) but since the Tahoma app has stopped working I can open and close my blinds but not trigger the “favourite” position (on the remote control it’s the MY button). Does anyone know how to get this working?

Thanks

765

The “My” position is not yet supported by the official Somfy API used by the Somfy component. It used to work with the Tahoma component which is now deprecated.

Good idea to contact Somfy and request this is added.

Thanks, I will do.

Yes it’s exact.
I tried with group all covers and it’s the same problem.

I just tested the new version of tahoma API 0.0.16 with Home Assistant and now all works fine again, the connexion for Tahoma is working again with the new version of Tahoma Component and I recover my garage door that I lost with Somfy Official Api.

Maybe a somfy server problem with their api ?

768

hi

how do you upgrade to tahoma API 0.0.16 in HA ?

thanks
