# ESPSomfy-RTS
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 are the three very expensive patio roller shades that still didn't have any type of automation attached to them. So I went searching for libraries that could automate my shades. I didn't just want to move them I wanted to interact with them and manage their position. And because that Telis torpedo has been with me for so long I still wanted to be able to use that as well.
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.
So I went searching for libraries that could automate my shades and relieve me from damning the torpedo. I didn't just want to move them I wanted to interact with them and manage their position. And because that Telis torpedo has been with me for so long I still wanted to be able to use that as well.
The research led me to several projects that looked like they would do what I want. Most of them however, could send commands using a CC1101 radio attached to an ESP32 but I really wanted to be able to capture information from any external remotes as well. In the end I did not find what I wanted so this repository was born. ESPSomfy RTS is capable of not only controlling the shades but it can also manage the current position even when an old school remote is used to move the shades.
