Somfy RTS awning in Home Assistant

Pair Somfy RTS as an additional remote and control open, close and stop from Home Assistant.

RFY/Somfy RTS uses rolling codes. Program the RFX as an additional remote control with its own ID, then use OPEN, CLOSE and STOP in Home Assistant.

Step-by-step plan

  1. Check on the compatibility page which protocol belongs to your device.
  2. Enable only the required receive protocol on the RFX web page or in RFXmngr.
  3. Temporarily enable Auto Discovery when using MQTT.
  4. Activate the remote control or sensor, or add the device manually with the correct MQTT topic.
  5. Test the controls in Home Assistant and then disable Auto Discovery again.

Tip

Use a fixed IP configuration, a unique Hostname/MQTT Client name and a good 5V/2A power supply for the most stable operation.
