Controlling a roller shutter with your smartphone: child's play

Somfy radio roller shutters make your life easier

With roller shutters with a connected Somfy motor and a home automation box such as TaHoma Switch®, you can :

• control your shutters simply from your smartphone or by voice, on site or remotely;
• check the status of your smart shutters (open or closed) from anywhere (only with IO-HomeControl® technology);
• centralize the management of your shutters to gain efficiency ;
• protect your home by simulating presence, thanks to the automatic opening/closing of your shutters morning and evening in your absence;
• gain in energy performance by automatically managing your shutters according to the amount of sunlight and the outside temperature (note that for this feature, a sun and/or temperature sensor is required in addition).

A multitude of possibilities are available to you with Somfy smart shutters!

All you have to do is connect them to your TaHoma® switch home automation box. It allows you not only to control your roller shutters but also to pair all your other connected equipment in the house, whether they are from different technologies (Somfy RTS, io-homecontrol®, ZigBee) or from other major home brands than Somfy. TaHoma® switch is compatible with Legrand Céliane™ with Netatmo, Philips Hue, Schneider, Hitachi, Atlantic, Thermor, Sonos, etc.

Control your Somfy roller shutters from your smartphone

Configure your connected shutters on the TaHoma® by Somfy app

To control your roller shutters from your smartphone, it's very simple:

1. Connect your smartphone and your TaHoma® switch home automation box to your home's WiFi network.
2. Download the TaHoma® by Somfy app, available on the App Store (for iOS smartphones) and on the Play Store (for Android smartphones).
3. Open the app and let yourself be guided ! You are first invited to connect your TaHoma® switch box and then your connected equipment by type and room : shutter, blind, gate, garage door, lighting, heating, alarm, camera, etc.

Once you are all connected, find your different roller shutters in the " shutters " category of the application, from which you can control them all at the same time or one by one, wherever you are.

The TaHoma® app is intuitive and easy to use, try it and you will love it!

Centralize the control of your shutters for simplified management

Gain even more comfort in opening and closing your shutters by creating personalized groups such as " bedroom shutters", " living room shutters",  " floor shutters", etc.

This centralization is very useful depending on your lifestyle because with a single click on your smartphone or even simply by voice (via a compatible voice assistant), you can, for example, close all the shutters in the children's rooms at the same time. It should be noted that centralising several components does not in any way prevent the individual management of each one.

Control your shutters in unison with other equipment in your home thanks to scenarios

In addition to simply making your shutter remotely controllable from your smartphone, the TaHoma® by Somfy application also offers you the possibility of creating "scenarios" : groups of coordinated actions between several connected devices, triggered manually, Scheduled or automatically. Enough to accompany you throughout the day to make it more pleasant at every moment !

Imagine...

1st planned scenario, the " awakening " scenario

It's 8 a.m., time to get up.

You've already programmed everything, TaHoma® takes care of the rest :

• open the shutters of your room gradually, to wake you up gently ;
• turn on the bathroom heating to keep you warm when you get out of the shower ;
• Launch your " good mood " playlist on the kitchen floor, to start the day off on the right foot by drinking your coffee.

2nd scenario, an advanced/automatic " departure " scenario

It's 8:30 a.m., time to leave for work.

You're already thinking about your meeting that starts in 30 minutes but before that, you have the children to drop off at school and you've already wasted 10 minutes finding the youngest's second shoe... No time to waste, you just lock your door and Somfy takes care of the rest. Your smart lock gives the go-ahead to your other equipment :

• your roller shutters close automatically,
• all your lights go out,
• your heating decreases
• and your alarm is activated instantly.

3rd scenario, manual this time, an " evening " mode

9 p.m., the children are finally in bed, you sit down with your other half (and with a well-deserved drink) to tell you about your days. Grab your smartphone, click on your favorite program and let the magic happen :

• all the shutters still open are closed,
• The lighting in the living room is activated in dim mode
• and your connected speaker launches your most beautiful jazz playlist... All without moving from your sofa.

A day with Somfy changes your life, doesn't it?
