Somfy, a global manufacturer of motors for interior window coverings and exterior solar protections, has announced its integration with Alarm.com.
This enables North American Alarm.com customers to add the TaHoma Gateway for added security in their home or business through integrated remote control automation of awnings, pergolas and interior window shades and natural light management.
As an industry leader in security and automation, Alarm.com has been protecting millions of homes and businesses for more than 20 years. With Somfy’s technology, Alarm.com can offer another layer of protection to its customers and elevate the smart home experience with automatic scenes and schedules. Tahoma Gateway communicates with devices using Radio Technology Somfy (RTS), Somfy’s exclusive control platform which enables users to adjust motorized blinds, shades, awnings and exterior screens. The device fits seamlessly into the Alarm.com ecosystem for homes, apartments and commercial spaces.
“By integrating Somfy with Alarm.com’s ecosystem, homeowners can add a new layer of customization to their home that is convenient to use with a seamless connection,” comments Brittany Mier y Teran, partnership and CI channel manager, Somfy North America.
“Somfy’s full line of remote-controlled products provides added privacy and security to any home or commercial space when integrated with Alarm.com, with the added feature of natural light management and increasing the energy efficiency of any space.”
The addition of automatic scenes and schedules to Alarm.com’s ecosystem with TaHoma Gateway provides greater control over privacy in the home and commercial spaces. For example, a “leaving home” scene can lower the shades, switch off the lights, and enable the alarm system, all with one button touch. TaHoma Gateway connects to Alarm.com products over Wi-Fi using a cloud-to-cloud integration, and from the Alarm.com smartphone app, users can adjust shades to let in the right amount of natural light and deliver the right level of privacy.
