  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) September 06, 2012 - The ZigBee Digital Motor Interface wirelessly integrates Somfy's line of digital motors into third party home automation systems that use ZigBee technology. Somfy's intelligent digital motor technology provides two‐way communication and real‐time motor position status updates, giving users precise control over their motorized window coverings through their automation systems. Only one interface is required per motor and no external power is necessary as the ZigBee Digital Motor Interface draws power directly from the motor.

    The ZigBee Digital Motor Interface is designed for use with the following Somfy motors: Sonesse® 30 RS485, Sonesse® 50 ILT motors and LT50 ILT motors. The interface is compatible with the ZigBee Pro Stack feature set and recently won a 2012 Custom Retailer Exc!te Award.

    Also featured in the Control4 booth is a Glydea drapery motor fitted with Somfy's Glydea ZigBee plug-in module, which provides third party automation systems with total drapery control including open, close, stop, and the "My" Position - Somfy's customizable intermediate position anywhere between fully open and fully closed. The plug-in module easily attaches to the base of Glydea 35 and 60e drapery motors for maximum performance and is compatible with the ZigBee Pro Stack feature set.
