I recently set up my Somfy blinds using the device types from Chris Wood and Ashwin, and I must say, it’s been a fantastic experience! The integration with SmartThings has been seamless, and controlling them through the app is a breeze. However, I’ve been looking to take things a step further by programming them to open and close on a daily schedule. I thought I’d share my journey and maybe gather some tips from the community!
First off, I’ve tried a few different apps, but I’m still not entirely satisfied with the results. I’d love to hear if anyone has a go-to app that works exceptionally well for scheduling these blinds. I’ve heard great things about SmartApp Editor and IFTTT, but I’m curious if there are other hidden gems out there.
Here’s what I’ve found so far:
- SmartApp Editor: Great for customizing schedules, but it requires a bit of coding knowledge.
- IFTTT: Easy to set up, but limited in customization options.
- RoutineMaster: Seems promising for more advanced scheduling needs.
If anyone has successfully programmed their Somfy blinds with a specific app, I’d love to hear about your setup! Whether it’s a simple daily routine or something more complex, your insights would be invaluable to someone like me who’s still exploring the possibilities.
Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other make the most out of our smart home setups!
