Somfy

Role in Our Systems

Somfy is the world's largest manufacturer of motors and controls for window coverings and outdoor structures. With over 50 years of experience, Somfy motors power blinds, awnings, roller shutters, and bioclimatic pergolas. Their io-homecontrol protocol enables bidirectional communication for precise position feedback, while RTS provides cost-effective unidirectional control.

Why We Use It

Somfy is our standard specification for motorized shading due to their unmatched motor reliability, global parts availability, and range coverage from simple roller blinds to complex bioclimatic pergola systems. Their KNX interfaces enable integration with building automation, while the io-homecontrol protocol provides position feedback essential for automated daylight management.

• World's largest motorized shading manufacturer
• io-homecontrol bidirectional protocol with position feedback
