animeo Solo

The easy-to-use system to control 1 or 2 zones, and up to 800 motors. Specifically designed for small buildings. animeo Solo is based on IB Somfy Controlling Technology and is also compatible with the animeo IB+ Motor Controller.

Easy programming and installation

The easiest animeo solution to configure

Easy programming and commissioning through the LCD display (no need for a computer).

The system comes with a basic configuration, and the user can use the screen-based interface to program the system, which saves commissioning time on site.

Energy-saving functions

Efficient management of solar gains and light levels to improve building energy performance and occupants' visual comfort.

For reduced energy costs

In summer and winter alike, animeo Solo automatically controls your motorized sun protection devices using sensors. In winter, for example, as soon as night falls, the pre-programmed "cold protection" function closes all shutters and sun protection devices in order to increase window insulation and avoid excessive heating consumption.

In the daytime, on the other hand, its "natural heating" function opens the shutters and sun protection devices to make the most of the sun's solar energy.

Simple operation for facility management

Control easily your facade

The building manager can control (up-down-stop) each zone separately or lock zones for maintenance operations such as window cleaning.

The LCD continuously presents the system status and weather data such as wind speed, rain, sun radiation and temperature.
