Hi,
I read up the information I could find, but could not get a full answer.
I need a bridge for my somfy RTS blinds (10 in total). For now I do not plan to extend to any other somfy devices (motors were already in the apartment).
There is the Tahoma, the connectivity kit as well as the Velux KLF200.
KLF200 looks nice with the integration.
The KIG300 does not support Somfy products, right?
Did miss one? Which one should I get?
If you would like local control and interface to Home Assistant you can create an ESPSomfy RTS device. This is low cost and it will control your RTS motors. There is a little bit of DIY but read through the wikis to see if it fits for what you are doing.
The RFXusb-RFX433 is a plug&play solution for up to 40 Somfy RTS devices.
It supports also many 433.92MHz devices like weather sensors and appliance modules and dimmers. And also the MCZ stoves.
Thanks,
that sounds reasonable.
Electronically easy and programming seems doable. Components are also small enough to heat shrink them (if I do not find time to design a casing).
How reliable has this integration been to you?
Can the blinds be added “automatic”, meaning are they detected automatically when put in programming mode?
Reason is, that most blinds are on one circuit. 4 blinds per remote.
Can I add the motors or will this be an issue?
Not sure if you were replying to me or not but the integration has been very reliable and it doesn’t interfere with your existing remotes. You can pair each blind individually then with the v2.0.0 firmware coming out this week you can even group them after they have been individually paired.
An example how to add the motors in HA using the RFXCOM RFXusb-RFX433 (is the newer RFXtrx433XL)
