With Somfy motorised curtains and smart assistants, that dream is a reality. Let’s dive into how you can take control of your window treatments using Google Assistant.
Benefits of Somfy Motorised Curtains Tracks
First things first. Why should you consider Somfy for your motorised curtains? The answer is simple: innovation and convenience. Somfy is a world-renowned brand that offers reliable solutions for modern living. Here are some key benefits:
Silence: Enjoy ultra-quiet operation with a minimum acoustic level of -38dB.
Powerful Performance: With a traversing capacity of up to 60kg, your curtains can handle heavy fabrics with ease.
User-Friendly: Say goodbye to tangled cords and hard-to-reach curtains. Control everything at the touch of a button!
Getting Started: Set Up Your Connexoon
Before you can control your Somfy motorised curtains with Google Assistant, you need to set up your Connexoon device. This step is crucial. It allows your curtains to communicate with your smart assistant. Follow these easy steps:
Ensure You Have Devices Added: Before you begin, make sure you've already added devices and created scenes (Ambiances/Modes) in your Connexoon app.
Open the Google Home App: Fire up your Google Home application.
Go to Settings: Tap on the settings icon to get started.
Add Devices: Scroll down and select “Add…”
Set Up Devices: Choose “Set up devices.”
“Have Something Already Set Up?”: Select this option.
Search for Somfy: Tap on the search bar and type “Somfy.”
Select Somfy Asia & Oceania: You’ll find it in the list.
Log In: Enter your Connexoon login (email address and password). This step is only required for the initial connection.
Once connected, your devices installed in Connexoon will be discovered and displayed in the Google Home app. (Take note that the apps interface may change over time and so this is correct as of the time of writing)
Voice Control at Your Fingertips
Now that your Somfy motorised curtains are linked to Google Assistant, it’s time to enjoy seamless control. Here’s how you can launch your scenes using voice commands:
Open Settings Again: Within your Google Home app, tap on settings once more.
More Settings: Scroll down and select “More settings.”
Assistant Settings: Choose “Assistant” from the menu.
Home Control: Scroll down and click on “Home control.”
Select SCENES: Here, you’ll see the ambiences and modes you set in Connexoon.
Modify Scene Names: You can change the names to something easy for you to say. For example, instead of “Morning Mode,” you might choose “Wake Up.”
Now, when you say, “Activate Wake Up,” your curtains will open automatically. It’s that simple!
