Somfy Roller Shutter Motors: Roller Shutter Control for ROMA Roller Shutters

Q: How can a Somfy roller shutter motor be retrofitted?

A Somfy roller shutter motor can be easily retrofitted to many ROMA systems - especially Front-Mounted Roller Shutters. Thanks to radio and solar technology, no complex power connections or wall openings are required. Retrofitting is quick, clean and usually requires no major structural changes.

Q: What distinguishes io-homecontrol from RTS?

io-homecontrol is a modern, bidirectional radio technology with feedback that is perfect for use in the Smart Home. RTS (Radio Technology Somfy) is a proven one-way radio system that is particularly suitable for simple control systems or retrofits. Both variants offer high reliability and numerous control options.

Q: How does the Somfy roller shutter control via app work?

With the Somfy TaHoma app, your ROMA Roller Shutters can be conveniently controlled via smartphone or tablet - at home or on the move. You can operate individual Roller Shutters, create groups or set up automatic scenes. This way, your home adapts perfectly to your daily routines.

Q: What are the advantages of a solar-powered Somfy motor?

A solar motor such as the Somfy RS100 io works completely independently of the power grid. It is ideal for windows where there is no power connection. Power is supplied via an integrated solar panel - reliable operation is ensured even in diffuse light.

A Somfy roller shutter motor in combination with ROMA Roller Shutters stands for added convenience, efficiency and security. The intelligent Somfy roller shutter control makes it possible to operate your sun protection precisely, automatically and even voice-controlled.
