NEWS from the CEDIA show…

Somfy was showing an RTS to Z-Wave bridge that will hopefully be available by the end of the year. This means that all of you that have been wanting to install Somfy battery shades (against my advice :wink: ), or those with existing RTS Shade motors will have a relatively easy way to control them with Vera and supported remotes.

You won’t have the benefit of “dimming”, but you should be able to have one intermediate stop.

Didn’t we hear this at last year’s CEDIA as well?

LOL, probably…

Somfy has a working prototype and is very close to a release (meaning months in Somfy time). They make those early announcements to probably gauge interest before they invest in producing something. I know that they have it working now, it is being tested, and it close to release (end of year at least though).

So just saying it does exist, lol.

I even came across the PDF for it by accident when I was searching for something else.
