Control4 Driver - Somfy
ONE DRIVER FOR ALL YOUR RTS NEEDS
Using an elaborate timing model, this driver set enables you to effectively control one-way Somfy RTS and DCT (Dry Contact) blinds/motors using one or more of the following control devices.
- *new* Bond Bridge (supported only by the Multi Interface driver)
- Somfy myLink (16 channels each)
- Somfy RS485 RTS Transmitter (16 channels each)
- Somfy URTSI II (16 channels each)
- Somfy URTSI (5 channels each)
- Somfy RS232 to RTS with X-10 (16 channels)
- Dry contact motors (DCT - 2 or 3 contacts per motor for up/down/stop or open/close/stop)
This version of the driver implements a *new* architecture where the ‘Somfy Multi Interface’ driver is new and replaces the former ‘Generic V3 Somfy Main Interface’ driver. Several Multi Interface drivers may be present in the same project. This significantly increases the flexibility in connecting several RS485 RTS transmitters, several URTSI II, several clusters of myLink or even an elaborate mix of several of the above in the same project. In addition, the legacy ‘Generic V3 Somfy RS485 Add-on’ driver for RS485 RTS Transmitters is no longer required, making this popular option simpler to install. A new ‘Somfy 9600 Baud Conversion’ driver is now used for older 9600 baud devices, such as URTSI and URTSI II.
Each Multi Interface driver is capable of simultaneously controlling one IP device:
- One Bond Bridge (Wi-Fi)
- OR A cluster of one or more Somfy myLinks (Wi-Fi)
as well as one Serial device:
- One Somfy RS485 RTS Transmitter or several Transmitters connected in an RS485 fashion
- OR one Somfy URTSI II or several URTSI IIs connected in an RS485 fashion
- OR one Somfy URTSI or one RTS with X-10
- as well as up to 16 Somfy DCT motors via Relay sets.
If the project has more complex requirements, simply install additional instances of the Multi Interface driver. The selection of which Multi Interface driver to use and which specific motor to control is done at each Blind driver.
