Hi everyone,

I’m about to buy new smart sunscreens that need the Tahoma switch. However, I recently learned about the Homey Pro and I have the next question.

Will I able to operate my sunscreens with the homey pro without the tahoma switch? Because if so, it saves me a lot of money and space.

I’ve tried to look for an answer in the forum, but can’t find a clear answer. Hopefully someone here has an answer.

Thanks for your time!

You’ll need to find out whether the screens use Somfy io or Somfy RTS;  
You could also post a product link.

If it’s RTS, Homey can operate the screens directly, if in signal range that is.
