Adrian S Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi guys, New to the forum. Just had my AV Integrator setup a Control4 system in our house (retrofit). Plan to add to the system in stages as we go. We have installed some Somfy RTS motorised blinds. What is the best way to have Control4 work with these? Z-wave, myLink or other? I do not have ethernet cabling running to the blinds. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdougray Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 If your outside the states or Canada I believe mylink will only work with VPN. The other option is the Somfy rs485 rts transmitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian S Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks. Yep, mylink looks like the best way to go thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian S Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 I went with the RTS transmitter after talking to our blinds installer - what is the best driver to use for this? The Domosapiens driver set?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdougray Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I use the free somfy ones. Not as much control as the Domos one but works fine for me. No harm in trying it first to see if it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidle323 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 As TD mentioned previously, setup the RTS transmitter with the free Somfy drivers first. If you feel the need for greater control of the blinds, Domo offers a free trial. Wonderful driver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slevittmd Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 What does the Domo driver offer over the free one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free one is open/closed control. Domo lets you do open to 35% or whatever % you want. https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/blinds-shades/somfy-generic-rts-and-dct-driver/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
