Intergrating Somfy roller blinds into loxone

Hi guys

im wondering if anyone has ever intergrated somfy roller blinds into loxone before, im switching them via nano 2 tree relay, i can get them switching no problem up/down, but they stop randomly , sometimes it works fine then it will just stop at 30% then 70% out of the blue, me and niko have been scratching out heads, ive spoken to somfy and all it needs is a pulse to start which we have given

any ideas anyone?

many thanks

Hi,

Haven’t specifically used Somfy as such.

However, with other devices, I have found that the pulse duration is important. Output the nano relay to a monoflop and adjust the output duration – start with 0.5s and go up in 0.5 second increments.

Also, I am assumming you have tried the pulse manually (touching the 2 wires together)?

Hey,

Agree with Prem, set Tu and Td parameters to exact second it takes to open or close the blinds, and should work.

Yes. Set Tu and Td to duration of blinds up and down – so you can see the animation in the app.

However, connect the outputs from Tu and Td to a monoflop so that the somfy is only getting a pulse for the duration of the monoflop (starting at 0.5s) and not the entire duration of Tu or Td.

Hope this makes sense.
