This plugin allows to expose to matter the Somfy TaHoma screens.
It exposes also the stateless screens that don't show up in the TaHoma HomeKit bridge because they don't have a bidirectional radio. The plugin resolve the problem counting the time of the screen movement (see Usage section).
If you like this project and find it useful, please consider giving it a star on GitHub at https://github.com/Luligu/matterbridge-somfy-tahoma and sponsoring it.

You need to configure the service ("somfy_europe", "somfy_australia" or "somfy_north_america"), username and password of your Tahoma account.
If the whiteList is defined only the devices included are exposed to Matter.
If the blackList is defined the devices included will not be exposed to Matter.
If any device creates issues put it in the blackList.
Set for each device the full movement time (the plugin will use that time to syncronize the movement).
These are the config values:
{
"name": "matterbridge-somfy-tahoma",
"type": "DynamicPlatform",
"username": "<USERNAME>",
"password": "<PASSWORD>",
"service": "somfy_europe",
"blackList": [],
"whiteList": [],
"duration": {
"<DEVICENAME1>": 30,
"<DEVICENAME2>": 30
}
}
You can edit the config file from the frontend (best option) or
On windows:
cd $HOME\.matterbridge
notepad matterbridge-somfy-tahoma.config.json
On linux:
cd ~/.matterbridge
nano matterbridge-somfy-tahoma.config.json
- You can then ask Siri
Siri open the Living room blind
Siri close the Living room blind
Siri set the Living room blind to 70%
