Somfy blind motors

[ILoveControl]

Hi all,

 

I am about to buy new blinds that can be fitted with Somfy blind motors. Just wanted to check that the only thing I would need to intergrate them into C4 would be :

myLink WiFi to RTS

The myLink RTS Smartphone and Tablet Interface is a WiFi to Radio Technology Somfy (RTS) bridge that can control up to 16 channels of RTS motorized products. With the Somfy myLink apps for iOS and Android, users can control individual channels of RTS products and create scenes and schedules. The Somfy myLink Driver for Control4 gives Control4 systems access to RTS channels and scenes programmed by the Somfy myLink app.

 

Does this convert the RF signal I to wifi for the C4 drivers to communicate to them?

 

Also are the default Somfy drivers in composer or does one have to buy specific drivers?

 

Thank you for the advise

I have an outdoor shade in my ramada with a Somfy RTS. I have both Lutron and C4. I only need up/down. It looks like it is best to use Bond with C4 driver. I can program up/dn on my HomeworksQS keypad to initiate the C4 side unless someone has a better idea through Lutron. 

Question: I just fried my Somfy remote in a rain storm for my Somfy shade. Is there any way to program the shade to Bond without the factory remote? 

 

Thanks. 

No you need a Somfy remote to pair the Bond Bridge.

You can try reaching out to Bond support to see if there is an alternative method of learning it in but i doubt it.
