The Zigbee 3.0 protocol is an interoperable, globally adopted and secure IoT solution used to connect smart home devices to a consistent network and language. Zigbee creates an ecosystem of products that work seamlessly together, and that ecosystem now includes products from Somfy
Why choose Zigbee motors?
The benefits of the Zigbee offer are several:
An open & scalable offer
A robust and reliable ecosystem
Enhanced benefits thanks to 3rd party integration and two-way feedback: Visibility of shade position and battery level indicator for WireFree motors.
Designed to be easily controlled from voice controllers such as Amazon Alexia or Apple Home pods via TaHoma.
They are open to the mesh network for a better transmission within the home.
Zigbee 3.0 is the only complete IoT solution, from mesh network to the universal language, that allows smart objects to work together:
MESH: Zigbee 3.0 harnesses the power of the mesh to connect every product to every other product. If one product fails, the others will continue to communicate without interruption.
INTEROPERABLE: Products work together seamlessly, even if they’re from different companies.
Somfy Convenience
You don’t necessarily have to be in the same room as your motorised product(s), or aim at them in order to operate.
No extra wires are needed.
Features Somfy’s exclusive “my” function, which allows you to program a preferred product position.
You can mix and match controls as you wish. Use a fixed wall switch or a remote or use both.
Provides the ability to change user preferences anytime with simplified programming.
Zigbee allows you to build your home automation system gradually. For example, you can start with a motorised curtain, then add blinds and other accessories later.
What’s more, Zigbee adapts easily to changes in your interior layout, as you can add control points or move them at will.
Control Options
Remotes
Ysia Single Channel and Single Channel Vario
Ysia hand-held remotes offer convenient and simple operation of every type of motorised application. Single channel remotes can operate one individual product or one group of motorised products. The Vario remotes offer dedicated control for tilting & Dimming applications.
Examples:
Use the single channel to operate the motorised blinds above your sink.
Use the single channel to operate the group of motorised roman blinds in your dining room, to raise and lower them at the same time.
YSIA 5 MULTI-CHANNEL HAND-HELD REMOTE
Five channel remotes offer more functionality because they offer an additional 5 channels of control. Each channel can still operate one individual product, such as a single motorised curtain, or one group of motorised products, such as all the motorised blinds on the first floor. With a total of five channels, you can set the preferences that suit your life. The Vario remotes offer dedicated control for tilting & Dimming applications.
Examples:
Use channel one for your motorised curtain.
Use channel two for the motorised roman blind in your living room.
Use channel three for the motorised Curtains in your dining room.
Use channel four for the motorised roller blinds in the kitchen.
Use the fifth channel as a master to activate all of your motorised products.

How does it work?
A simple press of a button on a remote control or wireless wall switch sends out a radio wave signal to move any motorised interior or exterior window coverings with ease. There is no need to point or aim the transmitter because RTS is omnidirectional and operates within a range of up to 65 feet. And just like a garage door opener, the radio waves travel through walls, making control of motorised products easier than ever.
What are channels and groups?
Did you know?
Window coverings powered by Somfy can be integrated with total home control systems. Somfy motors are compatible with third-party home automation systems, allowing the user to access and control their motorized window treatments from their home automation remote, touch-screen, wall panel or smartphone, which also controls lighting, security, HVAC and audio-video equipment.
The easiest home automation solution is provided by the Somfy Tahoma Switch, however if you already have a home automation system in place or are looking to specify something other than the Somfy Tahoma, there are lots of options available for you.
Integrating Somfy Zigbee motors with home automation systems.
Zigbee 3.0 is the only complete IoT solution, from mesh network to the universal language, that allows smart objects to work together:
MESH: Zigbee 3.0 harnesses the power of the mesh to connect every product to every other product. If one product fails, the others will continue to communicate without interruption.
INTEROPERABLE: Products work together seamlessly, even if they’re from different companies.
Before ordering we would recommend finding out the capabilities of the home automation system in question.
What is the difference between a wired control system?
In a wired system, the control point is connected to the motor by electrical wires which communicate your commands to the motor. This is the classic home automation solution. In this case, the control point is secured close to the motor (for example beside the motorised blind).
In the radio system, the commands are transmitted to the motor by means of radio waves. There is no electrical wiring between the motor and the control point. This is mobile and you can control your roller shutter from anywhere within a radius of 20 metres, even through a wall. Furthermore, installation requires less time and saves your walls from any damage. This is the simple and clean home automation solution. NB: with Somfy, it is always possible to replace a wired installation by a radio installation.
Wired systems can be supplied as mains switching (240v) or dry contact switching. If you do not want a radio controlled system or you are integrating into an existing wired control system please call us for a quote.
What weight of curtain can the Somfy curtain tracks be used for?
Somfy have helped to simplify this by stating the weight suitability in the product title. For the mains powered systems Movelite 35 is suitable for curtains up to 35KG and Glydea 60 is suitable for curtains up to 60KG. If you are looking for a battery powered system Irosmo 45 is suitable for curtains up to 45KG.
Are there any other factors that effect the weight of curtains that can be used?
Yes there are other factors that need to be considered. Firstly for all motorised curtain tracks whether you are looking at Somy, Silent Gliss or any other systems. The manufacturers guidance for weights will be based on the curtains being hung just beneath the curtain rail. All the manufacturers do no recommend that the curtain is fixed so it is rubbing on the track.
Secondly the weight limits provided are for straight curtain tracks. For every bend that is added to the track then the maximum weight of curtains is reduced. There is a weight guide we have provided below to offer some additional advice on this.
Here are some instructions for changing the end limits;
1. Take the curtains to their open limit
2. Hold Up and Down on the handset until the curtain jogs
