ROMA and Somfy TaHoma: Smart solution for automated sun shading

With ROMA and Somfy TaHoma, you can easily control your sun shading via app, voice command or automatically. Somfy, the French specialist for drive and control technology, is active in over 60 countries and is one of the world's leading providers in the field of building and home automation. With the TaHoma Smart Home system, almost all areas of your home can be networked wirelessly - from Roller Shutters and External Venetian Blinds to Textile Screens and Garage Doors.

The TaHoma box enables the automation of regularly recurring tasks or convenient control. The sun shading system can also be easily combined with weather sensors, lighting or heating. In this way, your home takes over many processes automatically - and you gain time for the important things in life.

ROMA Somfy TaHoma configuration: modern control with TaHoma Switch

The TaHoma Switch is the latest generation of smart control from Somfy. It serves as the central control unit for your networked home - from automated shutter control to the integration of lighting, heating and sensors. It is easy to operate using scenario buttons directly on the box, via voice assistants or mobile via the Somfy app - even when you are on the move.


Flexible installation and intuitive operation

The Somfy TaHoma Box is connected to the router via WLAN and can therefore be positioned anywhere in the house. The commands are sent to the TaHoma Switch via the Internet and from there are forwarded wirelessly to your ROMA sun shading system or Garage Doors. Thanks to the clearly structured user interface, handling is also suitable for beginners.

Whether predefined scenarios, time programs, calendar control or sensor-based automation, your smart sun shading system can be individually tailored to your needs.

The initial configuration of Somfy TaHoma is ideally carried out by a ROMA specialist partner. However, with the appropriate technical understanding, it is also possible to install it yourself - especially when retrofitting in existing buildings or rented apartments.

ROMA sun shading systems are connected to Somfy TaHoma via proven radio standards such as io-homecontrol or RTS. Wired motors can also be integrated using on-site switching devices.
