Preface

This Quick App reads the Somfy devices from the TaHoma switch box and creates child devices with the com.fibaro.rollerShutter device type. This allows you to control the devices in almost the same way the Roller Shutter 3 Z-wave module does.

Commands

The standard open, close and level commands are supported. Automatically the Favorite Position button is mapped to the My button on the Somfy system.

Device status

Most Somfy devices are not capable of reporting their status. Devices that use the IO protocol are capable but at the moment this is not implemented in this Quick App. You need to be aware of this when creating scenes with the HC3. The official supported integration supports both RTS and IO (2-way communication).
