TostCorp: Control your Somfy RTS blinds via MQTT

Hi everyone!

I came across this YouTube video today:

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? :slight_smile:

Edit: apparently no longer available, I now recommend this tutorial: Intégrer ses équipements Somfy à Gladys via Matterbridge | Gladys Assistant

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 « movie » scene.

Then there’s the RFPlayer taken over by GCE!

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

Especially since at GCE they just went up to 105! :rofl:

Well at the same time it has a lot of features!

Being the author of the video linked in the first post, I might be able to help you if you have any questions :grin: 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 :wink:

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 :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile:

It’s done, Chief
