GDC - Somfy Smart Home Automation

Somfy Home Automation

With the rapid development of smart homes and home automation technology soaring worldwide, the process of taking total control of your home within your hands is imminent.

Having over five decades of experience in the industry, and starting out with manufacturing the first tubular motor, we have been working alongside Somfy as a trusted producer of garage door operators for many years.

Their innovative advancements into smart home automation is something that we are excited to also be getting involved with, recognising the transformations that can be achieved; it’s not only about controlling your garage door from your mobile phone anymore. Control your blinds, lighting and heating, create a schedule to organise when these scenarios happen throughout the day, and remain in total control.

Control the Entirety of Your Home

The scenarios that can be created via the Somfy app allow you to set what electronics operate throughout your home at a time selected by you: the ultimate life of organisation and convenience. For instance: you are a few yards away from home, and Somfy recognises, via geotechnology, from your mobile’s location that you are about to pull onto your drive. Cue the garage door opening, the hallway light turning on and the heating increasing in temperature.

A simple sequence of events, yet an idyllic lifestyle for every modern homeowner. A truly smart way of living. 

Increased Security

Worried that your garage door isn't locked? Just check your Somfy app, and you can close it immediately if needs be!

As a result of the usability of Somfy’s home automation products, measures can be taken to protect your home from potential intruders, offering piece of mind whilst you are away from your home. A range of indoor and outdoor security cameras can be found within Somfy’s extensive range, allowing you to check who is at your front door or selected viewpoint – from here, you can speak via the camera, or sound a powerful alarm with the simple touch of your smart phone.

In addition to security cameras, the range also includes motion sensors, as well as contact sensors that inform you of when a door is opened and closed, allowing you to personally assess the situation.

The nature of Somfy’s product range allows you to make adjustments to your scheduled scenarios so it can be perceived that your house is occupied whilst you are away. Whether you decide to play some tunes from your stereo, close the automated blinds at night or keep the lights on a timer, each works to deter any potential intruders.
