Somfy Zigbee motorized roller shades are smart window treatments powered by Zigbee 3.0 technology. Zigbee is a secure, globally adopted smart home protocol that uses a "self-healing mesh network." This means your shades communicate flawlessly with your smart home system, offering ultra-reliable, whisper-quiet operation and seamless automation for your home's natural lighting.
The biggest advantage of Somfy Zigbee over traditional RTS (Radio Technology Somfy) is two-way communication. While standard RTS motors only receive commands, Zigbee motors talk back to your smart hub. This provides you with live, real-time feedback directly on your smartphone, including: Exact shade positioning: Know exactly what percentage your shades are open or closed. Battery life monitoring: Receive push notifications when your WireFree™ motors need to be recharged, so you're never caught off guard.
Somfy offers ultimate flexibility for controlling your automated window coverings: Smartphone App: Use the TaHoma® by Somfy app to control your shades from anywhere in the world. Voice Control: Simply ask Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to open or close the shades. Handheld Remotes & Wall Switches: Traditional Somfy Ysia remotes and smart wall switches are available for quick, tactile control. Smart Home Automation: Set your shades to move automatically based on schedules, temperature, or sunrise/sunset times.
To get the most out of your Zigbee shades—including app control, voice commands, and smart home integration—you will need the Somfy TaHoma® switch. This smart hub acts as the brain of your motorized shades, translating your app and voice commands to the motors. If you only want basic push-button control, you can operate the shades using a paired Somfy remote without a hub.
Because they operate on the Zigbee 3.0 protocol and connect via the TaHoma switch, these shades offer incredible interoperability. They seamlessly integrate with: Amazon Alexa & Google Assistant Samsung SmartThings Philips Hue Premium home automation systems like Control4, Crestron, Savant, Brilliant, and Alarm.com.
For battery-operated (WireFree™) models, you can expect approximately 10 to 12 months of battery life on a single charge. This estimate is based on average daily use (one full cycle up and down per day) on a standard-sized shade. Because Zigbee offers battery feedback, your TaHoma app will notify you exactly when it's time to plug them in to recharge.
Not necessarily! It depends on the power option you choose: WireFree™ Rechargeable Batteries: 100% wireless and completely DIY-friendly. No electrician required. Plug-In Power: Plugs directly into a standard wall outlet. No electrician required. Hardwired (AC/DC): Wired directly into your home’s electrical system. This provides a maintenance-free solution but does require a licensed electrician to install.
Light-filtering shades allow natural light to enter a room while preventing people from viewing in and thus offering more privacy. Blackout shades or room darkening shades block out nearly all natural light, making them ideal for bedrooms or nurseries.
Yes! If your home internet goes down, your Zigbee local network will remain active. You can still operate your shades using your physical Somfy remote controls or wall switches, and any pre-programmed automated scenes saved locally will continue to run.
Because Zigbee uses a mesh network, expanding your range is incredibly easy. Any plug-in Zigbee device acts as a repeater. If you have a shade that is too far from your TaHoma switch, simply plug a Somfy Zigbee Smart Plug into a wall outlet halfway between the hub and the shade. The smart plug will catch the signal and bounce it to the shade, extending your range effortlessly.
Absolutely. Using the TaHoma app, you can create custom "Scenes" and schedules. You can program your shades to: Rise automatically with the morning sunrise. Lower at dusk for instant evening privacy. Close during the hottest part of the day ("Thermal Comfort" mode) to prevent solar heat gain and lower your air conditioning bills.
