The Somfy Connect™ Universal Automation Interface Plus Expands Integration Options
The Somfy Connect™ UAI Plus Commissions and Integrates Somfy-powered Motorized
Window Coverings Over IP.
Somfy Systems, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of
motors for interior and exterior window coverings, announces the launch of the
Somfy Connect™ Universal Automation Interface (UAI) Plus to expand and simplify
integration. The Somfy Connect UAI Plus allows for commissioning and
integrating Somfy Digital Network™ (SDN) over IP.
This streamlined process saves integrators time and effort
while working with drivers from popular home automation systems such as
Control4®, Crestron® and Savant® using the Somfy Synergy™ API
integration protocol.
“The Somfy Connect UAI Plus makes integration simple,” said
Tom Murphy, Chief Operating Officer of Somfy North America. “Integrators can
now offer improved customization of Somfy-powered motorized products.”
The Somfy Connect UAI Plus improves workflow for integrators
looking to add motorized window coverings to their offer. Embedded motor
commissioning software streamlines SDN system configuration with an improved
user interface and by eliminating extra equipment.
The Somfy Connect UAI Plus provides integrators the freedom
to program SDN RS485 motors over a local network. Simplified communication to
third-party controllers eliminates cumbersome converters and pinouts. Setup is
a breeze thanks to embedded programming software which makes it easy to
commission SDN over IP.
Joining the Somfy Connect platform of integration devices,
the Somfy Connect UAI Plus provides reliable, bidirectional integration over
IP. Together with the myLink™ for Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) devices,
integration over IP is now possible for both SDN and RTS. Now it’s even easier
to offer the comfort, convenience and energy savings of motorized window
coverings for a wide range of commercial and residential installations.
“The Somfy Connect UAI Plus is part of our expanding
connected home story,” Murphy said. “Somfy is always looking to grow
opportunities for integrators, home automation installers and programmers.”
Somfy will be demonstrating
its wide range of award-winning integration and motorized shade solutions at
Booth #5013 at CEDIA 2018, including the UAI Plus, SDN PoE Gateway and the
CEPRo BEST winner, the Sonesse 30 (Li-ion) RTS motor, an ultra-quiet
rechargeable motor solution for shades and blinds.
