FAQ: Is third-party integration available for motorized RTS? | Soleffect

Yes. Soleffect motorized solutions utilizing Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) are engineered for high-level compatibility with modern automation ecosystems. Whether for a single-family smart home or a large-scale commercial office, third-party integration is easily accessible through dedicated interface hardware.

Integration via Tahoma Hub or URTSII

To bridge the gap between RTS motorized shades and third-party controllers, we utilize two primary integration paths:

  • Somfy® TaHoma® Hub: The premier choice for Wi-Fi based integration. The TaHoma bridge allows users to set complex scenes, automate schedules, and control shades via an intuitive smartphone app.
  • URTSII (Universal RTS Interface): Designed for professional AV integrators, the URTSII allows for RS232, RS485, or IR control, making it the “gold standard” for hardwired third-party communication.

Supported Smart Home & Automation Platforms

Our systems seamlessly communicate with the industry’s leading automation providers, including:

  • Voice Control: Full compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home (via TaHoma).
  • Professional Systems: Native integration with Crestron, Control4, Savant, and Elan.
  • IFTTT & Custom Scenes: Create “Good Morning” or “Energy Saving” scenes that adjust your shades based on time of day or sunlight intensity.
