FAQ

TaHoma app offers a brand-new design and interface. It also extends the scope of compatibility.

Certainly. All you need to do is add an RTS receiver which will centralize your orders and transmit them to the motors via the existing wiring. And if you subsequently add another RTS product, it won't need to be wired to the control point.

 In a wired system, the control is connected to the motor by electric wires which transmit your commands to the motor. This is the traditional home automation solution. In this case, the control unit is fixed near the motor (beside the window, for instance, for a motorized blind). In the radio system, the commands are transmitted by radio waves. There is no electric wiring between the motor and the control.
The control is mobile, and you can control your roller shutter within a radius of up to 20 metres, even through a wall. Installation is quicker too, and saves your walls from being damaged. This is the neat, simple home automation solution. Note: with Somfy, a wired system can always be upgraded to a radio installation.

The common factor between the two home automation technologies is simplicity of installation without electrical wiring for the control points. They are also equally adaptable, as you can add motorized equipment or automatic systems according to your needs, without having to reconfigure the system.
Lastly, they both make life easier thanks to their extensive remote control capabilities with which you can control your entire installation from the same control point. While Somfy Radio Technology primarily relates to home openings, with io-homecontrol® you can control other equipment around the home, such as heating, lighting, ventilation or access security.
