Hey Guys looking at getting some electric roller blinds they have the Somfy Zigbee motor in them - I’m wondering can I connect directly to homey pro or do I need the Somfy switch and connect the blind through that - I had a look at the Homy pro Somfy app but it doesn’t show a Zigbee blind only the …

But these are Zigbee motors though.

Probably proprietary Somfy Zigbee then, given its Somfy :unamused_face:

I tried connecting to my Somfy IO blinds using the Tahoma bridge, turns out I need a technician to reprogram the blinds. I could try it myself, but with no guarantee it would work. I also involves some steps where you have to flip the power on and off for the blinds a certain number of times. I gave…

Why I wanted to go with Zigbee as it’s a two way communication so you can see the status of the blind, battery level etc with the RTS you don’t get that - when I get the blinds next month will let you all know how o get on

Hello Adrian! Thanks for reaching out! I just activated all logs as you said and tried out some movements. My issue is that the garage door sometimes gets stuck, especially in winter. So I want to have a notification if the garage door stays open. You are right, I can see the status of the garage…

Adrian, After writing the last post, the status indication has changed in Homey and now correctly reflects the position that is also correct in the Tahoma app. So I guess it’s just a matter of time delay. The information is not refreshed so often for third party apps, I guess. Not sure if that can …

If you haven’t enabled the developer mode in Tahoma, the Homey app just uses the cloud interface and that will update every 30 seconds. If you have enabled it, then the Homey app will connected locally to the Tahoma box and then updates every 3 seconds.

Awesome, Adrian! I enabled the developer mode. For others reading, this is how it can be done in the Somfy app: https://www.somfy.ch/de-ch/hilfe/faq?question=was-ist-der-entwicklermodus I then generated a token and entered it in your app in Homey. There is no confirmation there that the connection…
