#1

Hi im looking for a way to make somfy RTS work. After a lot of Reading is see that this is not so easy.
Soldering on remotes, making your own controller. All lost of work.
Isnt it possible to replace the rts module in the motor with a compatible module?

Thnx

why don’t you use the Somfy ZRTSI controller. for more info http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=18571.0 (also do a search on the forums, many threads talked about the ZRTSI)

yes, it’s a bit expensive, but it works really well, and is expandable…

This is exactly what we manufacture; tubular motors with SMT (Silent motor Technology) and Z-Wave embedded.

We also offer drapery motors with Z-Wave embedded

http://www.smarthome.com.au/363-zwave-to-somfy-converter.html looks to be an Australian one, but ridiculously overpriced.

@Jaxc Why don’t you use a Serial Somfy URTSI → USB to Serial Cable → Vera Plugin?

Not working outside of us

@Jaxc Somfy RTS operates on Frequency: 433.42 Mhz. This is different in Europe? TS is not Z-Wave

#13

i think Somfy RTS uses same frequency in EU and US, so the URTSI → USB should work …

#14

The URTSI should work as you mentioned.

Also, this option could also work if your electronically inclined:
