Somfy - Official API

Just have a quick question regarding the Somfy integration - not the Tahoma one, just I haven’t been able to confidently find an answer on.

I’m looking at purchasing Somfy blinds for my new place and wanted to confirm if this integration also requires that I purchase Connexoon? Not a problem if I have to, but just don’t want to spend the extra if it’s not required.

Thanks!

In order to use the Integration you indeed need to also get the Connexoon or Tahoma box. Check Somfy Tahoma Official API for more info. In particular check, before you buy the Tahoma or Connexoon, if your Somfy products are supported by the official Somfy API that is being used by the HA integration.

The official Somfy API is currently in development by the vendor and is still rather limited in which products are supported (e.g. my awnings that use IO motors are not yet supported…)

Perfect, that’s exactly the info I was after. Thanks a lot.

So with the official Somfy API do you need any hub at all?

Yes, you’ll need the connexoon

Im having trouble finding the connexoon in the US. Will any of the other ones work or no?
