Somfy: Home Automation for Phantom Screens
Retractable screens were primarily designed to add convenience and utility to your home by extending out to protect against bugs and solar glare, and retracting when no longer needed. Technological innovations have allowed contemporary retractable screens to come prepackaged with smart technology, allowing them to connect and respond to wireless devices.
With Somfy, Phantom Screens have become another addition to your home’s arsenal of smart devices. Typically operated with a remote control, our screens controls can now be upgraded with the Somfy Tahoma, which adds the capability to connect your screen to your phone and other wireless devices, so you can control your screens wherever you go.
What is Somfy?
When it comes to home automation, no one does it better than Somfy. For over 50 years, Somfy has been the leading creator and provider of smart home devices that enable you to utilize and control various devices in your home with ease.
Their smart devices are designed to be integrated into your lifestyle seamlessly, incorporating into your home routine without conflict. The center of this home automation is the Somfy myLink app, an application for Apple and Android smartphones that allows one to control their Somfy-connected devices, adjust settings, create schedules, and more from anywhere: even away from home.
Somfy and Phantom: A Perfect Match
With their innovative technology, Somfy and Phantom Screens work perfectly hand-in-hand. Phantom’s intuitive motorized screens can be equipped with smart capabilities so as to integrate it with the rest of your home’s smart environment. Alternatively, if you have various smart devices in your home, you may opt to control the screen via the Somfy TaHoma switch. The TaHoma is a smart hub platform that encompasses RTS, Zigbee, and other possible smart ecosystems in one convenient device.
With Somfy’s Scenes feature, you can program schedules that adjust your automated home exactly to your preferences- for example, you can set one scene for the morning and one for nighttime that can open or close all your screens as well as coordinate your home’s lighting, shades, and more on an automated schedule with just one action or command. The Tahoma offers three methods of control: through buttons on the device, the mobile app, or voice commands via Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. The Tahoma’s voice command features make it even easier to activate your favorite scenes.
