Discover the world of voice control with Somfy.

Welcome to the next big thing in Automation for Window Coverings - the ability to control both blinds and curtains simply by asking them to respond. Luxaflex® Window Fashions has been working with Somfy® to bring this technology into the New Zealand market.

We are excited to announce that you can now integrate Somfy® RTS technology with voice activation via the Somfy® Connexoon and IFTTT (a website and mobile app).

Voice Control

The exciting addition of IFTTT means you can now control your Somfy RTS products with your voice. Using your Connexoon Window RTS device, and your voice-controlled assistant, you can operate your window coverings and Phillips HUE lights with simple voice commands.

Talking to either your Google Home or Amazon Echo device, you can use simple commands such as "Alexa, trigger good morning", "Ok Google, good night", "Alexa, trigger I'm home" or to even "Ok Google, launch movie scenario" to trigger actions for your Somfy-motorised window coverings.

Automation

You can now automate your daily routine for a complete smart home experience. The possibilities are endless and it's all up to you. Here are some example scenarios you can set up through IFTTT:

• You can set your curtains to open at 7 am every weekday to gently wake you
• You can set your external awnings to close every day at sunset to keep the warmth in
• When your phone connects to your home's WiFi, a Connexoon scenario determined by you will be launched
