Somfy Connectivity Kit

A simple solution to control your Somfy motors and lighting products by App & Voice.

The connectivity kit is designed to connect and centralise your motorised devices with io-home control and RTS technology as well as lighting via Somfy radio receivers. It allows you to control 20 products individually or as part of a group via the TaHoma smartphone app.

Smart control

The TaHoma Switch & Connectivity Kit can connect directly with your Google voice assistant – allowing voice control of your smart home. When you give Google a command, it is passed to the Somfy smart hub, which then communicates with your smart home products. Your Somfy smart hub can also be controlled with your phone or tablet.

For an easy life

Open up the Google Home app, search Somfy TaHoma and sync the two together.

It’s easy to programme which spoken words will activate certain smart home scenarios around your home . For instance, if you’re about to settle down with a movie you can say something like ‘Hey Google, start watch film scenario!’, the lights will dim and the curtains close – turning your living room into your very own movie theatre, all without having to move an inch from the sofa. Absolutely perfect for those comfy weekend nights in with the family.

TaHoma is compatible with Somfy, Amazon Echo, Google Assistant, Sonos, Phillips, Velux, Honeywell, Danfoss, Hitachi and IFTTTcommands making it one of the best smart home hubs available.
