![]() RTS can only be opened or closed (even though the UI allows for the % slider, it doesn't not work). This makes the blinds visible to HomeKit. Note: I am running HomeBridge on a RaspberryPi with the Somfy Tahoma plugin. Somfy is bringing out it's own version of IO (called io-homecontrol) which is new hardware motors which will make them function like IO. You can ask Siri to Open or Close the blind. The hub/remote only have three options for RTS: Open, Closed and 'My' (which is a preset height). RTS is one way (point and shoot) so the motor does not feed back. So for example, "Hey Siri, set the IO Blind to 70%" works. IO is two-way so allows the motor to feed back to the blind whether a command was successful. Now these blinds are controlled by the Somfy RTS remote, which also can be added to the Tahoma hub. I also have some internal patio blinds which are Somfy, using RTS. I have these blinds added to my Tahoma hub, which makes them controllable. To be clear, these are not part of the Integra Range (Velux's true Smart Blinds) but they are controlled by a wireless remote, which is IO compatible. ![]() ![]() You need to do some research before buying.įor example, I have some velux motorised blinds which are IO compatible. But to summarise: if your wireless devices are 'RTS' or 'IO' compatible then you can add them to the Tahoma hub. ![]() So there are lots of moving part to this. ![]()
