Somfy Control Options for Motorized Blinds and Shades

Somfy offers many control options for its wide range of products. Reading the below guide will help you understand how each control option works and if it is suitable for you. AC,DC, and wireless operated motor systems are available.

Infrared (IR) control is best for basic control of motorized window coverings. If the blind, shade, curtain, etc. is in line of sight and can be operated individually, IR works best. Radio Frequency (RF) allows the user more advanced control if the window coverings are located in multiple rooms or if they are controlled individually or in groups. RF can lower, raise, or adjust blinds or shades without being in direct line of sight. Regardless of your unique setup in your home, Somfy's control options can work with operating your motorized window coverings. 

For those who wish to operated their blinds or shades individually and in groups, the Somfy Individual Group Control (IGC) is ideal. It is simple to operate for numerous window treatments. It can allow you to control how a single blind or shade moves, while simultaneously allow you to control a room, floor, or entire house of window treatments. The versatility and convenience the IGC offers cannot be beat.

Below is a summary of how each control option works visually.
