I solved it by using a Somfy Izymo Transmitter sending the IO homecontrol protocol to the Velux IO homecontrol receiver by using the generic 2 Relay Blinds (OS2.9+) driver from control4 connected to the Relays 1 & 2 of the EA5 (having to split the coms wire to feed the Relays using the 2 NC connections)'.
Downside is that the standard Velux remote is no longer connecting when pairing the Velux receiver to eht Somfy Transmitter despite it having 2 channels.
Another disadvantage is that you need 2 of the 4 relays available on the EA5.
