RFY support for Somfy Soliris Wind/Sun detector

Post by svs »

Hi,

This question has been asked a few times on the forum since the support for Soliris was added (end 2014) to RFXcom. The Somfy motors can easily be paired with RFXcom and used in Domoticz.
From Domoticz Up/Down/Stop are supported (if I am not mistaking only Up/Down from scripts). Additionally the new firmware of RFXCOM supports sending a command "enable wind sun" and "enable sun" to a motor. Is there any way to use the command in Domoticz. I may try to find a python script to send the command to the RFXcom, but I suppose the serial interface of RFXCOM is already in use by Domoticz.
Please advise.

Best Regards

Question, how many times do you pair/unpair your wind/sun detector?
You can also do this with the original remote correct?

This because it would take some work to get this done via domoticz

Please try beta #3593

on your blinds (in the light/switches tab) there should now be an settings icon,
if you press this, you should now be able to enable/disable sun+wind protection

I could not test it 100% as i do not have this, but i'm sure 99% it will work

if possible, please confirm back

ps. i know the popup is not the best looking, but it's a quick hack

Hi,

Sorry if my question wasn't clear. It was not about pairing a new device, but sending a command from Domoticz (as remote) to an existing RFY motor. I also saw your latest response and try it out.

Thanks

Hi,

Just tried out the beta, it seems to be working. I needs a sunny day to be 100% sure. Thanks a lot.
In the future I would like to schedule the command (from LUA for example) , nothing urgent.

Hi
I have added my 3 somfy motors without any problem. I also have somfy sun/wind sensor which i now can control from the domoticz Web UI via the small settings icon. My problem is that this icon is missing in the Android app of domoticz. Is it possible that you can add the sun/wind setting icon to the app?

In the apps switch tab its only up/stop/down commands.

My System: rpi3/rfxtrx433e and Android app.
