Does anyone know why a somfy device works in de homey 2.0 app, but not in homekit via the official (beta)homey module.

All other devices works in homekit. If I use the homey app I can open and close the somfy rts sunscreen. With homekit it stays on opening and nothing happens.😐

Have you tried using the HomeyKit app from the apps store?  
I think it works much better than the experimental option. Not sure if Athom will continue with the experimental version when they get time but I had many problems with it.

I’m new to Homey, but have the same issue. With the “native” app the Somfy sunscreens are not working in Homekit, but in Homey everything works fine.

Bonjour,  
est-ce que quelqu’un a résolu ce problème?

Je compte acheter cette box pour contrôler mes SOMFY RTS avec Homekit, je dois savoir si cela fonctionne avant!
