• python3 tahoma.py to ensure that Tahoma starts.

3. Configure

There are just two commands to execute once to configure Tahoma:

All the details are explained in python3 tahoma.py --help and python3 tahoma.py --info.

1. Specify your Somfy-connect login information and choose the Somfy server: :

• python3 tahoma.py --configure or python3 tahoma.py -c

2. Retrieve the list of your personal Somfy devices: :

• python3 tahoma.py --getlist or python3 tahoma.py -g

4. Retrieve your PERSONAL commands

USAGE: python3 tahoma.py [ACTION] [CATEGORY] [NAME]

For example : tahoma open shutter kitchen or tahoma ouvrir volet cuisine

To retrieve your personal commands, you can use the following options:

1. List all possible [ACTIONS] for each [CATEGORIES]:

• python3 tahoma.py --list-actions or tahoma -la or
• python3 tahoma.py --list-actions-french or tahoma -laf

2. List available [CATEGORIES]:

• python3 tahoma.py --list-categories or tahoma -lc or
• python3 tahoma.py --list-categories-french or tahoma -lcf

3. Retrieve the [NAMES] you have assigned to your personal devices in the Somfy's App:

• python3 tahoma.py --list-names or tahoma -ln or
• python3 tahoma.py --list-names-french or tahoma -lnf

Now you are ready to use tahoma

For more info refer to python3 tahoma.py -h or python3 tahoma.py -i

Use Cases:

Usage: python3 tahoma.py [ACTION] [CATEGORY] [NAME]

For example : tahoma open shutter kitchen or tahoma ouvrir volet cuisine

• You can specify the closing level for shutters or sunscreens with a numeric value as ACTION.

For instance, to close a shutter or a sunsceen to 25% :

tahoma 25 shutter kitchen tahoma 25 sunscreen kitchen.

Please note that this feature only works with IO protocols and not with RTS.

• You can use either a unique word : bath or the full name of a device in square brackets [""] : ["bath 1st floor"]) as the NAME parameter.

For example :

tahoma open shutter garden

tahoma arm alarm ["garden door"]

• Multiple commands can be executed in the same process without restarting Tahoma.

For example :

tahoma arm alarm garden open shutter ["room 6"] confort heater dining off plug office 25 sunscreen kitchen launch scene morning

• There is also a wait functionality with wait for <SECOND(S)> or sleep for <SECOND(S)> or attendre pendant <SECOND(S)> :

For example : tahoma open shutter kitchen wait for 20 close shutter kitchen

• You can also wait for a specific time with wait for <HOUR:MINUTE> (24-hour format)

For example : tahoma wait for 13:32 open shutten kitchen

• Since it is impossible to stop an RTS device, there is the possibility to cancel the immediate preceding command (without affecting a 'wait for ' command). To do this you can use the command 'cancel last action' or 'annuler precedente commande' just after a command that opens or closes an RTS device.

For example :

tahoma open shutter kitchen wait for 2 cancel last action : It will stop the kitchen shutter after 2 seconds

tahoma open shutter kitchen open shutter room6 cancel last action : It will only stop the room6 shutter

• There is a -n or --notification argument for showing a desktop notification (Linux only) to override the default configuration in tahoma -c. This is useful if you want to create a shortcut with an execution notification even if in tahoma -c notifications are unset. For example : tahoma open shutter kitchen -n

Examples :

Here are some example commands :

• tahoma open shutter kitchen
• tahoma 25 shutter Velux3 (Closes the shutter to 25%)
• tahoma get sensor ["Luminance sensor garden"] (You can use the full name of the device with ["<NAME>"] )
• tahoma get sensor door (Provides information about all sensors named "door" in the house)
• tahoma get sensor ["Front door"]
• tahoma on plug office
• tahoma open shutter ["room 6"]
• tahoma toggle plug kitchen (For IO devices only)
• tahoma arm alarm garden
• tahoma on light ["kitchen light"]
• tahoma off spotalarm spot
• tahoma comfort heater dining
• tahoma get sensor ['heater dining room']
• tahoma launch scene morning
• tahoma wait for 13:32 open shutten kitchen
• tahoma arm alarm garden wait for 10 open shutter room6 sleep for 7 comfort heater dining off plug office 25 sunscreen kitchen launch scene morning get sensor ['heater dining room']
• tahoma comfort heater dining wait for 3 get sensor ["Heater dining room"]
• tahoma open shutter kitchen open shutter room6 wait for 2 cancel last action` (It will stop the room6 shutter after 2 seconds)
• tahoma open shutter kitchen --local (It will override the default API set in tahoma -c with the --local argument for using the local API (For Tahoma hubs only))
• tahoma open shutter kitchen --username mail@address.com --password password --remote (You can provide the username and password with arguments to override the logins stored. This is useful if you have more than one Tahoma box)
• tahoma my shutter kitchen --token 2343d8c7f23dd5f328de --pin 1234-1234-1234 --local (It will use the local API (for Tahoma hubs only) with the pin and token arguments. This is useful if you have more than one Tahoma box)
• tahoma manual heater kitchen wait for 2 19 heater kitchen --server atlantic_cozytouch --username cozytouch_username --password cozytouch_password --remote (For some atlantic_cozytouch heaters, it is possible to use other ACTIONS than comfort, eco, off...with auto, manual, standby, prog, NUMBER. As a Cozytouch hub is not compatible with the local API, you can add the --remote argument. In this example tahoma will change the heater's mode to manual and will give the ability to modify the temperature to 19°C using the cloud API)
• tahoma open shutter kitchen -n (It will show a desktop notification if the process is successful even if notifications are unset)

Special note:

If you want to use the local API for Tahoma hubs only, you will need to activate developer mode (www.somfy.com > My Account > Activate developer mode).

The local API allows controlling some devices without a cloud connection for Tahoma hubs only.

local API is only compatible with some devices (shutters, sunscreens, heaters).

You can configure the local API with the tahoma -c command or override the default API set in tahoma -c with the --local or --remote argument.

Create a PATH to tahoma :

To be able to run tahoma directly in the terminal, without going to the source package, you should add the tahoma's folder to the PATH :

By doing this, instead of taping python3 '/place/of/the/folder/tahoma/tahoma.py open shutter kitchen',

you will be able to directly tape in the terminal : tahoma open shutter kitchen.

Then execute tahoma just like this : tahoma arm alarm garden open shutter kitchen close shutter room6 confort heater dining off plug office 25 shutter kitchen and that's all !

On Linux :

On Linux, it can be permanently done by executing : sudo gedit ~/.bashrc and adding, at the end of the document, this line :

export PATH=$PATH:/place/of/the/folder/tahoma

If you want to temporarily test it before, you can just execute this command in the terminal :

export PATH=$PATH:/place/of/the/folder/tahoma

It will be restored on the next reboot.

You should also need to rename tahoma.py to tahoma

Then execute tahoma just like this : tahoma arm alarm garden open shutter kitchen close shutter room6 confort heater dining off plug office 25 shutter kitchen and that's all !

On Windows :

How to create a PATH on Windows

Thanks to the tahoma.exe program, you will be able to execute tahoma just by entering this command : tahoma instead of python3 tahoma.py on Windows

Then execute tahoma just like this : tahoma arm alarm garden open shutter kitchen close shutter room6 confort heater dining off plug office 25 shutter kitchen and that's all !

Enjoy ! For more info tahoma -h or tahoma -i

Create a PATH to tahoma :

On Linux, if you have installed tahoma without the sudo command you will need to create a PATH for starting tahoma with the tahoma command.

Indead, to be able to run tahoma directly in the terminal, without going to the source package, you should add the tahoma's folder to the PATH :

It can be permanently done by executing : sudo gedit ~/.bashrc and adding, at the end of the document, this line :

export PATH=$PATH:/place/of/the/folder/tahoma

If you want to temporarily test it before, you can just execute this command in the terminal :

export PATH=$PATH:/place/of/the/folder/tahoma

It will be restored on the next reboot.

By doing this, instead of taping python3 '/place/of/the/folder/tahoma/tahoma.py open shutter kitchen',

you will be able to directly tape in the terminal : tahoma open shutter kitchen.

Then execute tahoma just like this : tahoma arm alarm garden open shutter kitchen close shutter room6 confort heater dining off plug office and that's all !
