A smarter way to improve comfort in your home. A complete indoor window decoration solution to optimise light, temperature and privacy in the home.
When the alarm goes off at 7 am, you wake up gently as the curtains open automatically and silently and your compatible Philips hue lights gradually turn on. That's a good start to the day!
If you work from home, adjust your window coverings with a remote control to reduce the glare of the sun on your computer screen. Your automatic lighting adjusts automatically. This creates a perfect balance between natural and artificial light, for optimal visual comfort.
As soon as the temperature in the house rises above 25ºC* in the summer, your curtains close automatically. In winter, the shutters close after the sun has gone down to keep the heat in, thus avoiding additional heating costs. This is a simple way to keep the temperature inside pleasant and save energy costs.
In the evening, use your voice to close the blinds for more privacy, turn on your lights, and play your favorite playlist on your compatible Sonos speaker. Without lifting a finger. This is how the evening really starts relaxed!
Our smart window coverings solution is a reliable and convenient way to improve natural light management, create comfort and always ensure the right temperature and optimal privacy in your home.
This solution from Somfy for window coverings and battery-powered curtains makes your life easier.
Somfy products are easy to operate with the TaHoma app, voice control or a special remote control.
Zigbee is a reliable protocol that ensures secure and smooth operation, with a network that automatically restores itself when a connection of one of the devices is lost. It works with many different products so that you can improve the comfort and convenience in your home in all kinds of ways.
Somfy's WireFree™ motors run on a battery that is concealed in the roll-up tube, the housing or behind the curtain. This means that you don't have to run wires to a socket.
The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, you only need to charge it twice a year (with normal use). You can control the interior blinds with a remote control, phone or even with your voice. Please note: a battery-powered solution is less suitable for large types of window coverings.

Answer:
With normal use of 2 controls per day (sun protection up - sun protection down) and with an average size of the fabric (approximately 180x180 cm), the battery lasts up to about six months. After this, the battery will have to be recharged with the Zigbee charger.
In principle, Somfy always advises and refers to the local specialist who has the knowledge and experience to measure and carry out the installation at your home correctly and quickly. The dealer takes care of you from start to finish. He gives advice on the possibilities, ensures a proper and neat installation. In addition, you can count on an excellent warranty for both the products and the installation.
Are you handy? Of course, nowadays you also have many options to order custom electric window coverings online and have them delivered to your home, where you (or your handy neighbor) hang and program the products. Correctly measuring, ordering and installing remains a job that requires quite a bit of attention. As a consumer, you may save on costs with a 'Do it Yourself' purchase, but you also run more risk. The warranty and service on the total installation is then missing in this case.
Various upgrade options are available for existing window coverings and curtains.
Your current manually operated rail will then be replaced by a custom-made Somfy curtain rail that is equipped with a motor to the left or right of the rail. The current fabric will be reused in many cases, but some ready-to-wear adjustments may have to be made as the wave runners have to come at fixed distances.
There are certainly options for upgrading existing manually operated window coverings (such as a roller blind or blind), but this must be considered by the installer. The motor must fit into the roll-up tube or headrail and cords adjusted which requires the necessary accuracy.
The latest generation of wireless window coverings and curtain rail solutions from Somfy work on the Zigbee protocol. This protocol is fully supported by the TaHoma switch and you can therefore easily control any window decoration or curtain rail with your smartphone. Up, down or somewhere in between. You can also see in the app what the current position is of the window coverings or your curtains and also the battery status
The great thing is that with the TaHoma switch you can of course control many more products in your home from the same app. Think of your Sonos speakers, Velux skylights, Philips Hue lighting, and much more. Your home as a real smart home...
Yes, that is certainly possible. Through the intervention of the TaHoma switch, you can use your voice via the speakers of Google assistant, Amazon Alexa or via Apple Homekit to play the scenarios you have created in the TaHoma switch with your voice.
Start by activating your smart speaker:
Next, indicate the desired action, followed by the smart device you want to activate:
There are indications when the battery is getting weak.
If the motor is connected to a TaHoma, the battery level is indicated and alerted in the app.If it is a stand-alone installation (with remote control) there is an LED on the motor head that indicates when the battery falls below a certain level.
The motor LED will flash orange upon receipt of the order if the battery level gets low, but there should be enough for 1-4 weeks of use
Certainly, this is possible, for example, through the intervention of the TaHoma switch and an Amy® temperature sensor and/or Sunis sun sensor that you connect to the TaHoma switch.
Via a scenario player , you can lower the blinds when the threshold value is exceeded if it gets too hot in the room (Amy® Sun Protect io) or if the sensor measures persistent (sun) light due to sunlight (Sunis io). The room stays cool longer due to the automation used.
Via the TaHoma switch, you can also automate directly based on time settings on days, weeks, months or even seasons.
Zigbee is a protocol, a kind of communication language between products, and is built into the latest generation of interior sun protection motors. So there are no extra costs involved.
The TaHoma switch is a small box that works like the router for your TV from a fixed place in the house. It makes the connection between the motor in the screen or receiver of a sensor, for example, and the app on your smartphone. This allows you to directly control and change connected products at any time.
The Tahoma switch is an optional product and you can buy it in the Somfy shop or at the Somfy dealer.
