A controller for Somfy RTS blinds and shades that supports up to 32 individual shades over 433.42MHz RTS protocol.
Most of my home is automated and one of the more annoying aspects was that there were three very expensive patio roller shades that still didn't have any type of automation attached to them. Since they were on the patio I had to run around on the patio looking for the Telis torpedo remote any time I wanted to move the outside shades. I have a rather large patio and the shades do a really good job at keeping the hot late afternoon sun from baking the house.

# Getting Started
To get started you must create a radio device. There wiki contains full instructions on how to get this up and running. You don't need a soldering iron to make this project work. Dupont connections between the radio and the ESP32 will suffice. However, I have also included some instructions on how to make an inconspicuous radio enclosure for a few bucks. Here is the [Simple Hardware Guide](https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/wiki/Simple-ESPSomfy-RTS-device)

Next you need to get the initial firmware installed onto the ESP32. Once the firmware built and installed for your ESP32. The firmware installation process is a matter of compiling the sketch using the Arduino IDE. You will find the firmware guide in the wiki [Firmware Guide](https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/wiki/Compiling-the-Firmware)
