Somfy API workaround

Configuration
1

Hi,

Is it possible to use a workaround in a script to open/close covers? for now the Somfy API is unreliable. Frequently the Somfy server is unreachable so you can’t activate the covers.

So I also want to use the logbook status to activate the covers, for example:

If the logbook status cover is “opened/closed” than it is possible to execute the script, if the logbook status is “cover unreachable” then it wait a few minutes for logbook status “cover opened/closed”.

Is this possible or am I on the wrong way :blush:

Thanks!

Via HACS you can install the Somfy Tahoma integration which doesn’t make use of the API, but of the tahomalink website (works with a Conexxoon as well). It is much more reliable and your idea won’t be needed anymore :slight_smile:

Forgot to add the URL for the project: GitHub - iMicknl/ha-tahoma: Custom component for Home Assistant to interact with smart devices via Somfy TaHoma or other OverKiz based API's.

Hi,

OK thanks I will try that :+1:t2:, I’m using the Connexoon bridge.

Hi,

Do I need a Tahoma account for this? I only have a Connexoon account.

Sorry, I’m new with HA :blush:

Although with a Connexoon you cannot login to the tahomalink website, it will still work with a connexoon (same situation here). Had the same hesitation, but is working fine for over a year know (as long as Somfy won’t block it).

Ok, I will give it a try :+1:t2:
