Somfy Blinds

[Johndm]

Does anyone know if there is anything that will convert my Somfy RTS blinds to smart except the
Somfy Connexoon RTS Home Automation Hub?

I tried a Broadlink RF unit then learned it cannot capture rolling codes

Somfy RS485 transmitter has a serial connection option via RS485 to RS232 adapter that’s how many home automation systems connect to Somfy blinds but they’re not cheap

cheapest option is to get the dry contact somfy motors and use wireless relays maybe

Depends on the Smart Home system you have

There is a device that works with Vera

Want something to work with Alexa. Had a good look at that Vera unit, and looks like it would not be much cheaper than the Somfy unit, and a lot more involved to set up, but thanks for the info
