Somfy RTS Wireless to KNX

Blind control is a key aspect of building automation, as it plays a vital role in integrating outdoor and indoor spaces.

A very popular solution for automated motorised blinds is the Somfy RTS wireless blind controller. This is the perfect solution for retrofitting projects on a budget, thanks to its simplified installation process. Instead of requiring control wiring, these blinds only need power for the motor, as the motor control is wireless.

Our Ivory Egg technical guru, Simon, has designed, tested, and documented the Somfy RTS wireless blind controller solution, to ensure that it is easy to understand, saving you both time and effort.

By integrating the Somfy wireless RTS blind controller solution into your KNX system, you can unlock its full potential, including integration with a KNX weather station. A weather station integration can address several scenarios:

Too hot: The weather station automatically lowers the blinds to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Too bright: The weather station tracks the sun's movement and adjusts the blinds to control glare.
Too windy for outside shutters: The weather station and lift mechanism work together to prevent damage.
Time of day: Blinds can be scheduled based on visualisations and time.
Going out: KNX sensors can detect your absence and close the blinds for enhanced privacy.
Going to bed: KNX can turn off all lights and lower the blinds, creating a soothing atmosphere for a restful sleep.
