TaHoma® switch obtains IoT security certification from UL
The Gold level security rating demonstrates that TaHoma® switch uses industry best practices and meets critical benchmarks for IoT cybersecurity to bring you peace of mind every day. TaHoma® switch meets cybersecurity requirements such as: secure updates and connections, as well as security of stored & transmitted data and maintenance of mobile application security.
TaHoma switch is a smart command to centralize and connect your Somfy and other brands home equipment. It is compatible with three radio protocols: io home-control, RTS and Zigbee 3.0. It also allows Cloud and Voice Assistants compatibilities, like Google Assistant and Apple Homekit* . TaHoma switch is linked to the new TaHoma app, which allows the creation of manual, planned and advanced scenes and many other features.
Connectivity kit is the gateway to control Somfy motorizations and lighting from the TaHoma app or by voice (with an additional Voice Assistant). The Connectivity kit uses two Somfy radio protocols: io home-control and RTS. Even though they use the same app, the Connectivity kit offers less features than TaHoma switch, for example, only manual scenes can be created.
Other limitations apply to the Connectivity kit:
*note: Apple Homekit only supports (certain) io devices.
If your TaHoma®, TaHoma® switch or Connectivity kit LED is red, it has no connection to the Internet. Please check the following ports. These ports must be enabled to connect the TaHoma® to the Internet.
The TaHoma®/TaHoma® switch / Connectivity kit accesses the following ports via external remote peers:
These must be externally accessible. Internally, a TB free port (usually > 10,000) is automatically searched for and used. The protocol that is used is shown in brackets. The installation interface can be found in different areas of your configuration menu depending on the router / firewall provider you use. Please refer to your user manual for details. Incoming connections or port transfers do not have to be set up, as the TaHoma®/TaHoma® switch/Connectivity kit works exclusively as a client.
Somfy home automation boxes are compatible with many home equipment, from Somfy & major home equipment brands. You can add them when you start the adventure, or later at anytime.

The summers in our country are getting warmer, which can cause the temperature in the house to rise considerably. During other seasons of the year it is often uncomfortably cold and wet outside for longer. In both cases, we want to keep the temperature and living environment in the home comfortable and pleasant for as long as possible.
Save energy by keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The most efficient and energy-efficient way to do something about this is to make smarter use of that free heat source: the sun in combination with opening and closing your sun blinds, shutters, curtains and window decoration.
The "Thermal Comfort" scene in the TaHoma app gives you the opportunity to optimize your comfort all year round by automating your solar protection according to your devices, the season and the time of day.
Programme your internal and external solar protection to respond to outdoor conditions. For example as soon as the indoor temperature rises to summer temperature, your solar protection closes automatically and your house stays cool.
And in the winter the sun is an additional source of heat. The solar protection opens to catch the heat, and they close when the sun sets to keep the heat in.
