Local controls
Opening and closing operations can be triggered by occupants themsleves (controls and remote controls), or by automatic devices (weather sensors and timer settings).
Controls and remote controls
According to the control technology used, the occupant sends the command to position shading devices with a simple touch of the fix or remote controls unit, of a touch-screen or from his/her computer.
Depending on the type of command, the user can either control several motors simultaneously or launch a separate operation for each group of motors..
The "my" function, a particularly beneficial Somfy exclusive feature !
"my" lets the user memorize a favorite position for an opening and access it immediately by pressing this key.
Automatic systems: Weather sensors
Weather sensors launch commands for shading devices and roller shutters according to meteorological factors and two main objectives:
- Protecting outdoor end-products: wind and rain sensors.
- Optimal use of shading devices for greater comfort and energy saving: sunlight and climate sensors.
Automatic systems : Timer settings
Blinds and roller shutters can be automatically controlled using set timers, meeting two main objectives:
- Protection of the residence: timer settings allow the occupants to simulate their presence when they are not home as well as ensure that all the roller blinds and shutters are closed at night.
- Energy saving: in winter, roller shutters are automatically lowered in the later afternoon hours to reduce heat loss through the windows.
Choosing the control technology directly impacts the motor.
Somfy has a wide range or motors with the different technologies embedded. But it is possible to connect external receivers to make motors compatible, in the case of renovation projects.
