It then either way might be possible to share them to Smartthings via previously mentioned using a Logitech Harmony to use IR signals to remotely control Velux windows and I have seen on YouTube a video showing using a Broadlink IR remote system to do the same. I believe the Velux windows can be controlled via Home Assistant using the KLF200 however it might also be possible by adding them as HomeKit devices via the HomeKit client (not HomeBridge). I would like to control all through Somfy Tahoma. I also have comfy motorised blinds on my patio doors. I have Velux Windows on my roof with attached blinds. The link below is a GoogleCache one as just now at least the Somfy forum as not responding.įorum Somfy Can i control my Velux Windows, Velux blinds as well as my window blinds. Indeed I found a post in the Somfy forum asking this and there seems to be a reply from Somfy saying yes. I believe the Tahoma system would be able to fully control the Velux windows but the above as mentioned is limited to the blinds. It is a limitation of the RTS roller shutters that position is not reported therefore the position in SmartApp will not be in sync with actual roller shutter position if shutter is operated from remote control.ĭoes currently only support controlling the Velux blinds. Note this isn’t using the ZRTS Z-Wave link but the TaHoma® box and requires a account. It can only control roller shutters because I don’t have other TaHoma® devices to test with. This is a SmartApp to connect to a TaHoma® by Somfy system. TaHoma® by Somfy Community Created Device Types

Thank heavens my own project is still a long way from needing to buy these yet. So, a little more light is appearing on the horizon.

It also says this will be available as an upgrade for existing windows. I also saw another article in German which mentioned Velux Integra and HomeKit and of course Velux Integra are the roof windows. I therefore hope this will turn out to be the solution I and others are looking for rather than having to mess with hardwiring motors and relays. One would I feel reasonably expect this gateway to be somewhat like the Phillips Hue gateway which supports both HomeKit and Zigbee and is supported by Smartthings. Logically Velux would not want to release more than one gateway/upgrade and would I feel release one which had broader support. Now as things stand HomeKit (only) devices cannot be integrated in to Smartthings but there is I feel a strong chance that whatever solution Velux are intending to release to implement HomeKit will not only support HomeKit but might also be the same thing Bang & Olufsen are referring to.

Apple’s HomeKit protocol works on either BlueTooth or WiFi and can be accessed over the Internet - the former via an AppleTV4 acting as a gateway. Apparently Velux are working towards supporting Apple’s HomeKit protocol in 2017. I have just come across a newish press release from the Velux site which while it does not mention the above might be related. As per my last post there has been some articles suggesting the intent to release a gateway between the IO-HomeControl protocol used by Velux to a general LAN/Internet compatible protocol as Bang & Olufsen want to use.
