So doing a bit of research and it looks like Somfy blinds or Qmotion generally for the uk unless you want to spend tons on Lutron So the project im working on will have 16 blinds all in one area in 3/6 groups. one of the guys who is working with the interior designers has specified a blind manufacturer he works with Lutron and Somfy motors. the client does not want Lutron down to the cost and it has to be either lutron or control4 within the project, so naturally we liked the control4 route. i have heard multiple things regarding Somfy blinds their noise, drop out and connectivity with control4. have people had many jobs with Somfy blinds Intergratred and what is your impression and issues. Also heard the app wasnt available in the uk and you have to use a VPN to download it & setup first time. is this also true. i cannot get hold of somfy direct to ask the questions. thankyou for the help Ashley

Hi people i need some help. i have a project which has got 3 sets of blinds (around16/18) in total . the client wants individual control and is absolutely clear in that when they operate as a group they go up in unison. Architect had specced in a Lutron system but this without more than one grafik eye seems to not be able to do what he wants. As a control4 dealer as well he asked about a solution with control4. im struggling to find something that fits my requirement so here is a brief :- -16/18 blinds to be controlled individual and in scene settings -All blinds have to move in uniformity when grouped - the client does not like Somfy blinds I have looked into controlling the motors with relays but have not done this amount of relays/blinds in groups etc and not sure if you would get the "popcorn effect" of one moving then the next any suggestions ideas are greatly appreciated
