![]() ![]() ![]() There’s an bare-bones Somfy Remote Arduino sketch that shows how the protocol works. Using 3-4 CHF-worth of hardware components, it is quite easy to build a software radio that will immitate a Somfy Telis remote and control the blinds. ![]() Turns out, Nickduino had a similar itch to scratch. Somfy offers a RTS bridge called Somfy MyLink for a wooping ~300CHF, which is a little steep for something that is not necessary and just scratching an itch. The system uses a legacy, proprietary radio protocol called RTS, which only Somfy and Telis use. The system in place is a Somfy’s Telis 4 RTS Pure remote, with two remotes, each being able to program 5 channels (4 individual ones and combined). However, just like with a TV, finding the remote is often tricky, so I decided to try and automate the external blind movements through Home Assistant and further voice commands of Google Home. covers) that are controlled through a dedicated remote of the Somfy brand. We’ve moved to a new apartment and one of its features are external blinds (a.k.a. In this post I’ll show you how to use a Raspberry Pi and some soldering skills to automate old Somfy blinds via the MQTT protocol exposed to Home Assistant and Google Home.
