Hi everyone!

I came across this YouTube video today:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/rzkzb9LQDC4?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque

Apparently it’s a device that lets you control Somfy RTS shutters via MQTT — it looks amazing!

Anyone familiar with it? Has anyone tried it? 🙂

Edit: apparently no longer available, I now recommend this tutorial: [Intégrer ses équipements Somfy à Gladys via Matterbridge | Gladys Assistant](https://gladysassistant.com/fr/docs/integrations/somfy-tahoma/)

The link is no longer available on Amazon, but I’m interested in knowing how to replace a Somfy remote to control with Gladys!

I have a projector screen that can only be lowered with the Somfy remote, it’s not very practical to create a «&nbsp;movie&nbsp;» scene.

Then there’s the RFPlayer taken over by GCE!

Ouch, 99€ to replace a remote, that’s not cheap 😅

Especially since at GCE they just went up to 105! 🤣

Being the author of the video linked in the first post, I might be able to help you if you have any questions 😁 I will try to use this tostcorp via Gladys and I will not fail to give you feedback even if I might have some questions myself by then with the use of MQTT discovering Gladys 😉

Hello,  
I finally managed to find a Raspberry Pi 4 and an RFPlayer dongle to control my Somfy RTS blinds.  
I’m a complete novice and I wanted to know if anyone has already used RFPlayer with Gladys and, as a cherry on top, to control their Somfy blinds.  
I’m open to any information.  
Thanks

@Seb Gladys is not currently compatible with the RF-Player, however there is a tutorial on the forum to do it using Gladys + Node-RED 🙂

Hi everyone, I personally use an earlier version of this module that works pretty well but has dependencies on a server… without really knowing why. There are some occasional bugs with shutters getting mixed up with each other…

Since I like being autonomous and controlling my data, I put together a small transmitter module based on the original code. It works very well with

I think a short tutorial is a good idea because I regularly have people asking me how to control their Somfy with Gladys 🙂
