New! Amy io, the Wireless Wall Switch That Cleverly Keeps Summer Heat Out

Even on days when the sun hides behind the clouds, it can still heat up significantly indoors. Sunlight remains powerful enough to penetrate through windows and quickly raise the temperature. Especially in homes with large windows, the heat can build up rapidly. That’s where Amy io comes in. This smart wireless wall switch with an integrated temperature sensor ensures that your external sun protection automatically closes as soon as it gets too warm inside. This way, you effectively keep the sun out and maintain a more pleasant indoor climate, even on changeable summer days.

The Smart Difference: Measuring Temperature, Not Sunlight

It’s important to know that Amy io doesn’t measure sunlight but instead registers the temperature in the room where it’s installed. That’s what makes this switch unique. Even if the sun temporarily disappears behind the clouds, the sensor still detects the rising indoor temperature. As a result, your sun protection closes precisely at the right moment, without you having to think about it.

Do you have multiple windows or rooms that heat up quickly? Then you can opt for several Amy io switches, allowing you to control the perfect indoor climate in each room. You can activate the temperature sensor for each switch via the TaHoma switch, ensuring your sun protection only operates when it’s truly necessary.

Cooperation Between Switch and Sun Protection

Amy io doesn’t cool your home directly but works alongside your external sun protection to prevent overheating. Think, for instance, of screens, roller shutters or louvres that fully cover your windows. When these close in time, they block the sun’s rays before the glass can heat up. As a result, your home stays noticeably more comfortable, even on scorching summer days.

Of course, you can also connect awnings or canopies, but these often don’t completely cover all your windows. If you truly want to keep your indoor temperature under control, sun protection that’s installed directly in front of the window is the most effective option.

How Amy io Works in Your Smart Home

Amy io works seamlessly with the TaHoma switch. Based on temperature readings inside your home, it controls your external sun protection via your TaHoma system. You can set up scenarios perfectly tailored to your daily routine. Want to keep the sun out early in the morning, or let in the warmth on a cool evening? It’s all possible.

Benefits at a Glance:

• Measures room temperature: responds to heat indoors, not just sunlight
• Fully automated via the TaHoma app, tailored to your scenarios
• Flexibility: install multiple switches for individual rooms
• Energy saving: keeps unwanted heat out without unnecessary cooling
• Wireless control: choose between fixed or mobile versions

This way, you stay in complete control yet still enjoy fully automatic comfort.

Did You Know… that when indoor temperatures exceed 27°C, overheating occurs, causing your sense of comfort to drop significantly? Sleeping becomes more difficult, concentration declines, and it can even be harmful to your health. Dynamic sun protection, for example sun protection connected to a sun or temperature sensor, helps prevent overheating in your home through smart automation.

Which Amy io Suits You?

There are various Amy io models available in the range. Here are a few examples:

• Amy 1 io: controls one sun protection system or product group, with an integrated temperature sensor.
• Amy 4 Modes io: controls up to four sun protection systems individually or in product groups. This four-channel version is the exception, as it does not have an integrated temperature sensor.
• Amy Scene Player io: activates pre-set scenarios and features a temperature sensor.
• Amy® Sun Protect io is a first step towards automating one or more roller shutters in the same room without using TaHoma. This wall switch features a slider to turn the built-in temperature sensor on or off.

So, you can always choose the variant that perfectly matches your home and your needs. Ask your Somfy dealer about the possibilities.

Smart Sun Protection, Smarter Control

Even when you’re on holiday, Amy io keeps working. While you enjoy your time away, your sun protection closes automatically as soon as the indoor temperature rises. That means you always return to a cooler home — and contribute to energy savings.
