Does the Somfy RTS app support, or could it support, radio-level groups? I have two blinds paired individually with Homey, plus an existing group configured on my Situo 5 remote. Homey’s device groups work, but send separate commands to each blind, resulting in a noticeable delay between them. The Situo remote sends a single RTS command, so both blinds move in sync. It would be great if Homey could transmit to an existing RTS group, or let us configure a group device that sends a single radio command to multiple motors. Is this currently possible, or something that could be considered for a future update?
I think that should work, since it’s a single command and Homey only “learns” the commands from your remote.
Have you tried it?
Not with RTS. When you put a device into learn mode and pair a Homey device, Homey sends a unique code that the remote stores. Each Homey device you add generates a new unique code.
Each RTS device can normally store up to 12 codes.
When you set up a group, the remote sends the same code to each device when it is put in to pairing mode. Homey hasn’t got a way to do that, but I’m not sure if it would be possible to put multiple RTS devices in to pairing mode at the same time so they all learn the code, but maybe worth a try.
I use the Somfy RTS Homey app with my 2 sun screens. I have them separately and also together as one device in Homey. When operating the latter, there’s no delay, they move as one. I’ve paired them many years ago, so not sure about the exact procedure. So, what you want should be possible, I’d say, experiment a bit and you’ll find out the right pairing method.
