Home Automation of Electronic Shades
It is through controls and motors from Somfy that we are able to provide seamless connectivity to your home automation. Through Somfy’s TaHoma™ app, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play, you can schedule your remote-controlled awnings or blinds to open at certain times, or when certain events occur, such as temperature changes.
Sensors and Controls
Control of your Eclipse awnings and shades can also be done easily through a handheld remote transmitter or wall-mounted awning transmitter. Sensors that detect temperature, precipitation and wind can also be added for convenience and safety. Awnings can be programmed to close when rain starts, or blinds can automatically open to cover windows when the sun hits that portion of the house.
By incorporating Somfy motors and electronic controls, the home or business owner can greatly increase the effectiveness of their retractable awnings, screens or shades. Somfy motors and controls are also easily integrated with security, HVAC, and lighting systems, providing total home or building automation.
