Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

Somfy and Yale have combined to provide improved security and connectivity for consumers across the globe. Somfy have been automating homes and Yale have been securing homes for decades. They have harnessed this expertise and experience to strike up a partnership that revolves around building open ecosystems using accessible and interoperable equipment.

Convenience At Your Fingertips

Controlling what happens at home in your absence has never been easier, courtesy of Somfy’s TaHoma application. It enables those who have Yale Linus smart locks to lock or unlock their homes from anywhere, saving time and banishing worries in the process. Gone are the days of double-checking doors, fumbling for keys and keeping guests waiting. Furthermore, for total peace of mind, you have the ability to monitor your lock’s status and battery at any time.

Tailored To You

Cross-brand compatibility has ensured that the actions of every smart home device can be altered, with examples including alarms, blinds, cameras, lights and speakers. This presents the possibility of creating personalised scenarios by sequencing the deployment of domestic technology to suit your habits. One such scenario is ‘Coming Home’, which is launched by the Somfy Keygo IO. It serves as the ideal greeting after a long day at school or work by opening the gates, unlocking the door, deactivating the alarm, raising the blinds, turning on the lights and playing a song of your choice. You would be hard-pushed to find a more effective way of going about your arrival. The application boasts a user-friendly interface and visually-appealing graphics. It features a home page for a general overview, a favourites page for the core gadgets and a scenes page for your customised routines. You can rest assured that it will become one of your most trusted allies.

Paradigm Shift

This joint venture connects several previously incompatible products. Somfy is represented by the TaHoma Switch, TaHoma Din-Rail V2, Connexoon IO and Connexoon RTS. The Linus Smart Lock and Doorman L3 Smart Lock are the contributions from Yale. The fusion of Somfy’s smart home prowess and Yale’s smart lock mastery is certainly a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Together, they have eliminated the human flaws of inefficiency and negligence with a solution that is likely to set the standards going forward.
