Hello,
I have three curtains from Somfy that are controlled via the remote that I have attached.
I want to integrate the control inside my home assistant. I was wondering if the only possibility is to do it via the Tahoma switch or if there is any alternative?
I’ve had contact with Somfy and they told me that also the Connexoon IO will do the trick. The Connexoon can also communicate with the API from Somfy, but the Thoma Switch is more extensive and has more capabilities.
Nevertheless I’m also wondering if there are alternatives, because of the price of the two
The Somfy Connectivity Kit does not support the new local API that supports (almost) all devices; this is only supported on the TaHoma v2 and the TaHoma Switch.
I only had some outdoor shutter I had to connect which I think they are listed. When I came in my home those were already installed and I had to find a way to connect them to HA. Luckily the Connectivity Kit is working and these are the only products I have from Somfy.
Currently I am not planning to buy more stuff to be connected via Somfy connectivity, for me it just did the trick.
