I have Somfy blinds with a Soliris sun/wind sensor to control them. I’m controlling the blinds via rfxtrx, which works fine. However I would like to be able to enable/disable the sun/wind detector from the interface. Is this possible from HA? I’m currently on Domoticz, which has this option, but want to move to HA. The absence of this option holds me back.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi,
looking for the same thing! Did you ever get this working?
I’ve got the status of the bind showing by using the device class set to blind, but sun/wind enable is still missing 
Hi,
Yes I got it working. You, manually, have to add a switch like shown below to your config.yaml.
switch:
- platform: rfxtrx
automatic_add: false
signal_repetitions: 2
devices:
071a000003010101:
name: Beneden
071a000003010201:
name: Boven
Hope this helps.
Hello,
This was exactly what I was looking for, although I still wonder if I should use Node Red in stead of the HA integration due to my issue:
I tested to put in a switch as described, and it worked right away using the address of the Somfy Blinds (the one used in the cover.yaml). When doing this, I lost the cover entity. Actually, for every restart of HA I get either the switch or the cover. Did you manage to get them working on the same time ?
Hi Guys, I have a similar issue with same sensor from Somfy. Can you please help me to implement it to my yaml?
Hi,
I had a look at my setup and it turns out I no longer have entries for my Somfy blinds and sun/wind detector in the config.yaml. Everything is handled via the rfxcom integration. Did you add that integration? Have look at the documentation for the integration at RFXCOM RFXtrx - Home Assistant. The integration should automatically detect the devices.
I have a device connected to my smart home TapHome. I will try to us the RFXCOM.
EDIT: It does not work. No serial connection or network. 
EDIT2: I have same issue with comfy blinds. Does not work too.
