Quick access

Your home, anywhere, any time ​

With Apple HomeKit, you can control the home equipment you have connected to TaHoma®:​​

• From home, directly from all your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, HomePod or Mac)​​.

• Away from home*,if you have a HomePod, an Apple TV, or an iPad set as home hub, and you are leaving it at home. 

• ​From your car too!​
If you have a car with Apple CarPlay included or added to it with an aftermarket system, you can also use Siri directly from your car.

* Requires a HomePod, an Apple TV (4th generation or later) with tvOS 10.x or later, or an iPad with iOS 10.x or later set up (as per Apple guidelines - refers to dedicated instructions from Apple for more details)​

 

What can I do? ​

Control each equipment individually, simply by asking Siri, or from Home app.​​
A selection of Somfy equipment is compatible with HomeKit technology through TaHoma®, as per Apple approval:​

  •  Using io-homecontrol® protocol only*​
     
  • From specific categories for the moment** : terrace and exterior window coverings (awnings, rolling shutters, interior blinds and curtains )

*: RTS equipment are not compatible (bidirectional radio required)

**: Equipment giving access to home are not authorized by Apple (gates, garage doors, windows, doorlocks…)​

How does it work?​

Control your equipment either using Siri or Home app:​

  • ​Siri: simply ask using the trigger word « Hey Siri », and continue with the desired action and equipment name.​
     
  • Home app: find your equipment in the app, ready to be controlled from your Apple devices.​

​You can also create rooms and scenes in Home app*, that can include Somfy equipment.​
 

*: Rooms and scenes created in TaHoma® are not accessible in HomeKit.

With which TaHoma® box does it work?​

The current compatibility concerns the second generation of TaHoma® box*.​

​And it will work whether you already have it at home, or you are purchasing a new one.​

 ​

​*Each box type must go through a certification process.​ Consequently, the first generation of TaHoma® box and Somfy box (both square-shaped) are not compatible.​

Daily life scenarios

While sunbathing on my terrace, I can simply ask Siri to make some shade to cool down a bit:​

“Hey Siri, open the awning”​.

With one touch on my iPhone, I can close all the interior blinds and curtains directly from my sofa.

When waking up, I just ask Siri to help me making the day start:

“Hey Siri, open the bedroom rolling shutter” ​.
