Is it possible to restart the integration without restarting home assistant?
You can remove it, and add it again. You will keep your entity_id.
Edit: I just try in their sandbox, I still cannot get an access token… So don’t remove your integration.
for me it worked with removing it, maybe i just had been lucky
Hello,
I just restarted Homeassistant it worked.
Still, the problem of dependence on external service remains. I wish the Tahoma box had a local API… Although this issue has been resolved thankfully, a similar thing can happen any time. Even if your Internet is down HA cannot communicate with Tahoma.
Anyway, I am glad it works, thanks to Somfy for fixing it, and I hope there will be a local API to mitigate such issues (either official or through a hack).
Cheers
Michał

I recently purchased the KLF 200 to connect my Velux blinds to Home Assistant. Are you saying this can also control my Somfy blinds? Do you have any more information on this?
From what I read on several forum yes. The KLF 200 understand the io-homecontrol protocol. So if your Somfy blinds use also this protocol, it should be possible to pair them. You will have 1st to remove them from your Tahoma box.
Maybe a NOOB question, I have a somfy connexoon and its connected to using the official API (which works perfect) . Since I also have a sunis IO sensor (which I found is not (yet) supported by the API. Can I use the onoffical Tahoma integration ? Or does’t only work when I buy an actual Tahoma box ?

Can KLF 200 set tilt position of the covers? The code in the Velux component can only set position.
Other than that, after the SSL fix the API is extremely unreliable - I am getting tons of errors and huge delays every single day. Often when closing 6 covers with a button only a few actually shut down.
Anyway, I am really determined to get rid of Somfy API. Three months with my covers and I really regret getting Somfy. Their Android app is a nightmare and API is a joke in terms of reliability.
I keep looking for a solution, maybe there is a way.
Cheers

Yes you can. Look at the documentation: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/somfy/#potential-duplicate-with-the-tahoma-integration

Now the whole Somfy APP, Homeassistant integration and Somfy webpage is down for me.
If I log in on somfy-connect.com then I get “JSON parsing failure at character 1:‘Y’ in You exceeded the rate limit” error. The Tahoma box has red color.
Indeed, I’ve the same bahavior. Apparently, the covid 19 affect also Somfy 
WTF
This is a joke
What a bunch of amateurs
Same here, Tahoma glows red, nothing works.
Probably haven’t paid their hosting dues with S3 or Azure 
Yes, all possible ways to use your Somfy devices aren’t working except the good old remote Time for a local interface…

The german help center says:
Liebe Somfy-Kunden, leider besteht aktuell ein Problem mit unserem Smart-Home-Server für die TaHoma- und Connexoon-Boxen. Eine manuelle Steuerung Ihrer eingebundenen Anwendungen ist daher gerade nicht möglich. Alle bereits aktivierten Zeit-Programmierungen und Wenn-Dann-Bedingungen laufen weiterhin ohne Einschränkungen. Unser Entwicklerteam arbeitet mit Hochdruck daran, dies so schnell wie möglich zu lösen. Bitte entschuldigen Sie vielmals die Unannehmlichkeiten.
which translates to:
Dear Somfy customers,
Unfortunately there is currently a problem with our smart home server for the TaHoma and Connexoon boxes. Manual control of your integrated applications is therefore not possible. All already programmed time programming and if-then conditions continue to run without restrictions. Our development team is working flat out to solve this as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.
So once again they haven’t got their hardware under control.

They pinned a message at the top of their French forum too:
Chère Cliente, Cher Client,
Nous rencontrons actuellement un ralentissement de serveur TaHoma/Connexoon empêchant le pilotage de vos équipements à travers vos applications.
Nos services de développement qualité mettent tout en œuvre pour solutionner ce problème le plus rapidement possible.
Nous vous prions d'accepter nos excuses pour la gêne occasionnée.

It basically has the same meaning.
I want to give a heads up to Tetienne! Although the Somfy API product is in a miserable state he keeps trying to make the best out of it and is giving support on problems that are most of the time out of his control. And we are very happy when the api is up and the integration is working great, because of his time and effort.
So thank you!

I moved from Tahoma box to Velux KLF200 in order to get rid of somfy servers. I could transfer all my devices (9 shutters and 4 exterior venetian blinds) quickly and control them (open and close). The KLF200 provides a local API ant the API specification allows to control nearly everthing the io-homecontrol protocol supports. However the current implementation via pyvlx packages provides not all functions.
One lovely feature I’m missing is the control of the tilt of the blinds. So I would much appreciate if someone could support to modify the velux integration in that way that it would be able to control also functional parameters of io-homecontrol devices and not only the main parameter (which is the position in most devices). Also it would be great if the complete velux integration would be part of home-assistant and not just a bridge to pyvlx package.
