Operating Your Electric Blinds Using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

Enjoy hands-free control of your electric blinds by connecting them to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant through the Somfy TaHoma Switch smart hub. Once set up, you can use simple voice commands to open, close, or adjust your blinds—without lifting a finger.
Just say things like, “Alexa, close the blinds” or “Hey Google, open the living room blinds,” and your assistant will send the command via TaHoma to your smart blinds. TaHoma acts as the bridge between your voice assistant and your connected devices, making it easy to manage blinds, lighting, heating, and more—all from one place.
It’s a convenient, modern way to bring comfort, control, and effortless style into your everyday routine.

FAQ's

Do I need Wi-Fi to use Alexa or Google Assistant with my blinds?
Yes, a stable internet connection is required for the TaHoma Switch to communicate with your assistant and blinds.
Can I control individual blinds or just all at once?
Both! Use the Alexa or Google Home app to create groups or control individual blinds by name.
What if my blinds aren’t responding to voice commands?
  • Check your internet connection
  • Ensure the TaHoma hub is powered and online
  • Confirm blinds are paired in the TaHoma app
  • Ask your assistant to “discover devices” again
  • Restart your voice assistant and the TaHoma hub
Do I need to say a specific phrase to control my blinds?
You can customise blind names in the Alexa or Google app.
For example: “Alexa, close bedroom blinds.” or “Hey Google, open office blinds.”
Can I schedule my blinds to open and close automatically?
Yes! Use the TaHoma app to create daily routines, like opening your bedroom blinds at 7am and closing them at sunset.
Can I use Siri or Apple HomeKit?
