Knowledge Base

Somfy is a widely used motor control system for shading and automation, commonly used for blinds, roller shutters, awnings, curtains, screens, and other motorized shading products.

ComfortClick can integrate with Somfy systems to control shading devices directly from bOS. This allows users to open, close, stop, or move blinds and shutters to a selected position from the visualization.

Somfy devices can also be used in scenes, schedules, and automation logic. For example, blinds can close automatically based on sun position, room temperature, time of day, or security mode.

This allows Somfy shading control to become part of the wider ComfortClick building automation system.

Integration Prerequisites

Integration with Somfy is possible using their Tahoma hub. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the hub in order to set it up.

Make sure the hub is included in the same network as the ComfortClick bOS server so it can be discovered and connected.

In order to locate the hub and connecting to it, we must set the hub into Developer mode. This can be done in the settings menu in the Somfy app.

After everything is set, we can press the Discovery button to locate the hub.

Discovery

Discovery function will scan your local network and identify the Tahoma hub. The hub must be set to Developer mode in the settings menu. Default port 8443 is used. 

Depending on your local network, change the port. After the hub is discovered fill out the rest of the connection settings in order to connect.

Connection Settings

After the hub is discovered, IP address will be filled out. Enter the email address and password of the Tahoma hub. Gateway PIN and Token will be automatically generated. When everything is filled out the Somfy driver can be enabled and the connection established.

If there were any devices added to the hub before the connection with bOS, they wil automatically be added under the main Somfy node.

Devices

When a device is included into the Tahoma, it will automatically appear in bOS when the server is synced and connected.

Depending on the devices, different functions will be generated for their control (toggle for lights, setpoints for shades/dimmers). 

Use the values tab to change the settings or use the functions tab and run the functions.

The devices can be dragged and dropped into the visualization or used in the tasks for control.
