Most Somfy motors, use a 56-bit length protocol. However, some use 80-bits to communicate and will require you to select the 80-bit setting for the `Bit Length`. The easiest way to tell if you have this scenario is to open the frame log described above then press a button on the remote that is currently being used to control the motor. When ESPSomfy RTS hears the commands from the remote it will indicate whether it was 56-bits or 80-bits. Additional options are provided when the 80-bit protocol is selected. Most remotes with a tilt wheel operate at 80-bits.

Next select the type of motor you are adding. The type determines what extra capabilities are available on the motor and the icons that are used to represent its positions. The type also identifies what controls are available for the motor. For instance, only blinds process a tilt mechanism and single button garage doors only toggle between their current position. Below is a listing of these types and their functions. The available options in the configuration panel will change to indicate which functions are available.

ESPSomfy RTS will show all possible options for a motor type it cannot distinguish what type of motor it is actually communicating with. If your motor does not have a tilt mechanism, do not choose a tilt option for it. You will be disappointed when ESPSomfy RTS is not capable of swapping out your motor for a different model. These options simply change the control options that already exist.

Sun and wind sensors can be connected to any motor. However, not all motors process the commands. It really does not make sense to hook one of these sensors up to a garage door for instance. Thieves only need to wait until it is overcast to clean out your garage in that case. As a result, some motors simply ignore the sun commands.

and This can be a Roller Shade, Blind, Shutter, Drapery, Garage (1-button), Garage (3-button), or Awning. This determines what type of functions are available for control. Roller shades, shutters, and draperies typically only support one function where they open and close with the motor. Blinds however support an optional tilt function. If your window covering has a tilt motor or integrated tilt functions, then you will need to use the blind type in order to support it. If you select Blind from the dropdown then a Tilt Type option will become available and the icon will change.

***Note:*** For Dexxo motors select the Garage (3-button) option. Despite the fact that you may have a single button remote ESPSomfy RTS will translate that cyclopes of a remote into something much better.

There are a number of tilt mechanisms supported by ESPSomfy RTS. If this is a blind with a tilt function you should select the appropriate type of tilt mechanism that is used on the motor. These are described below.
|
||||
* ***None*** - The slats of the blind are manually controlled or not controllable remotely.
|
||||
* ***Tilt Motor*** - The motor assembly is actually two motors in one where a long press on the remote moves the slats open or closed and a short press raises or lowers the blind.
|
||||
* ***Integrated*** - When the up button is pressed the slats fully open before the motor raises the blind. Conversely, the down button fully closes the slats before lowering the blind. This allows the slats to be tilted with the blind in any lift position.

Awnings add support for Sun/Wind sensors that retract the awning whenever the sun goes away or the wind may damage your precious butterfly wing attached to the house. Selecting Awning as the motor type will add these options to the interface and integrations. For the sensor to work properly you will need to link it to the motor using the link remote function. After all this sensor operates as if it were a remote.

All types except garage doors add support for Sun/Wind sensors that retract an awning or close the drapes whenever the sun goes away. The also often contain a wind function that can ensure your precious butterfly wing awning attached to the house does not become your neighbor's awning. Selecting Sun Sensor on the configuration panel adds controls for turning on or off the sun function. For the sensor to work properly you will need to link it to the motor using the link remote function. After all, this sensor operates as if it were a remote.
