[SOLVED] Somfy overkiz local API

Third party integrations
1

Hi there,

This week I received a message I need to reconfigure my Overkiz integration. (More accurate: My wife indicated she couldn’t open/close the screens anymore). When offered the option of cloud or local control, this seemed nice. I’ve wanted to have local control for a long time.

However when I selected the ‘local’ option, I can’t login.

  • I’ve successfully enabled Developer mode for the Tahoma box on the Somfy website
  • I’m unsure if I need to authorize the local IP the box.
  • The box is discovered (gateway-{{pin}})

I receive a ‘failed to connect’ error

Any ideas?

Issue resolved.

Unsure what exactly resolved it, but for those still searching:

  • I didn’t have to ‘authorize the API’
  • Upgrade HASS and restarted

where are you located? I got the same message but I’m unable to authorize developer mode on my Tahoma box. :confused:

Europe.

For me it wasn’t necessary to authorize the developer mode. Just enable it on the Somfy website.

In US, Somfy website no longer allows access to developer mode, so stuck with cloud integration.

Just use this API method in Windows to get device token.
It’s just worked for me

are you sure this is needed? The new method should allow you to generate a token via the app

for me, this method is not working at all. i can’t connect my Somfy Connexoon.
i always get error: Associated box is not compatible. The gateway linked to this account is not yet compatible with Tahoma.
so i used method To control Somfy Tahoma Switch over Local API - Z-Wave Forum to take my token for local control and it’s works.

oh interesting! would be good if you could create an issue here: GitHub - Somfy-Developer/Somfy-TaHoma-Developer-Mode: A collection of requests to use a local API with Somfy TaHoma gateways, so they can fix the app for your hub
