Somfy has all the solutions you need to manage your daily home life.
Whereas home automation used to be the reserve of a select group of home owners, nowadays a Smart Home is accessible to everyone. More and more people are choosing to install Smart Home systems.
What can you use home automation for? You can connect all kinds of smart devices to your home automation system. Examples include various types of blinds, security cameras, alarm systems, lighting, gates and speakers.
One mobile app, that's all you need to program and centrally operate all our motorized products. Heating, lighting, cameras, alarms ... Control everything from home or remotely with one click!
With the Somfy remote control or wall switch you can operate one or more products in one room. They work seamlessly together in your smart home. Even if there is no internet once.
Control all your motorized devices, security, music and lighting with just your voice via Google Assistant or Alexa!
Program the motorized applications in the house to open and close automatically at set times and scenarios. You can also automatically switch the lighting on and off or dim it.
You don’t really need to know how home automation works in order to use it. We’ve already done all the technical work, so all you have to do is connect the central command unit to your smartphone and whatever smart devices you may have. Those smart devices might not all use the same communication protocol, which essentially means they don’t speak the same ‘language’. That’s where the central hub comes in. It acts as an interpreter who speaks every language so all your devices can work together seamlessly. When the curtains are drawn, the ‘interpreter’ ensures that the system understands it’s time to turn the lights on. The interpreter also lets you communicate with your home and control your home automation with your smartphone or voice commands. In other words, it’s extremely versatile!
Home automation, domotics or Smart Home: you can no longer see the wood for the trees. What are the differences between these systems? Basically, they aren’t really that much different from each other. Even though these three terms are often used interchangeably, there are some subtle differences. Of these concepts, domotics has been around for the longest, and was originally only used in the automation of business premises. A domotics system is usually fully wired. This is fine if the system is integrated during construction; however, running all those wires through an existing building is costly and disruptive. The same applies each time you need to add new devices. It’s for this reason that a Smart Home has become the consumer version of domotics. A Smart Home wirelessly connects the smart devices in your home across a central hub, which can welcome new ‘family members’ at any time. In the Smart Home, you are able to automate processes and scenarios. So that is home automation: automating your home by linking all smart devices and setting them up to respond to each other automatically.
TaHoma® is the most complete system for smart living. It offers an expandable total solution. You can start by connecting one device, and then gradually connect your shutters, window furnishings, lighting, heating, gate, garage door, alarm system and/or other products. Get the most out of smart-home automation with 200 connectable products from Somfy’s 20 partner brands.
If you would like to bring more comfort and home automation into your life, then a Smart Home system is exactly the solution you’re looking for. You can easily set up a Smart Home system yourself; it doesn’t mean you have to turn your entire home into a smart paradise. You can simply start small and then add new smart devices for greater convenience whenever you want. The first thing you’ll need is a central command unit. You can then connect this hub to your smart devices, such as lamps, speakers, surveillance cameras or your roller shutter motors. As the hub is compatible with different makes, you won’t usually be restricted to just one. Did you know that Somfy TaHoma® can operate with up to 20 makes of devices and communicate with up to 200 different products?
Make your life simpler with the TaHoma® smartphone app. Use your smartphone to control all the items around your house, wherever you may be
By automating some or all of your devices, you no longer need to think ahead about the settings that will be perfect in, say, an hour. Your home will automatically make adjustments according to your wishes, without you having to keep doing so manually. This means your home is guaranteed to be extremely comfortable.
Wherever you may be, whether at home, at work or lying on the beach, your smartphone app easily lets you control the items around your home. This means your home is just the way you want it when you return. Although a Smart Home offers you the choice out of a number of different types of controls, you can make it even easier: control your devices with your voice using Google Assistant, Siri or Amazon Alexa.
If you have surveillance cameras, then you’ll get a push message on your phone if anything suspicious happens, so you can immediately watch what’s going on live and raise the alarm if necessary. In addition, when you’re away smart lighting and smart blinds can simulate your presence, which helps protect your home from break-ins.
With voice commands and pre-set scenarios for a variety of situations, you can adapt the devices and set the atmosphere and living environment in your home to suit your activities in a jiffy.
