Somfy motorization
Somfy TaHoma: centralization and automation
Motorizing operates. Automating optimizes.
Motorization lets you operate equipment. Automation makes it run according to a logic. TaHoma coordinates your roller shutters, shades and motorized equipment according to your schedule, outdoor conditions or daily scenarios: a layer of intelligence added to the motorization.
- Permanent groups and zones (rear façade, floor, living areas)
- Global closing in a single gesture
- Uniform state of openings, without checking each remote
- Fewer repetitive manipulations
Centralization, scenarios and energy logic
Centralization by zones
Group your equipment by façade, floor, patio or room, and trigger global actions without multiplying controls.
Reliable daily scenarios
Morning and evening schedules, away mode, global closing: routines that run automatically.
Energy performance
Capture solar gains in winter and limit overheating in summer with shading and closing at the right time.
Indoor and outdoor comfort
Consistent shading on glazed areas and outdoor spaces, patio or pergola.
Coordinated security
Scheduled closings while you are away, presence simulation, coordinated exterior protection.
Open ecosystem
Compatible with RTS and io-homecontrol depending on the equipment, and integrable with voice assistants depending on the configuration.
Automation and energy performance
Efficiency depends on timing. In summer: automatic closing during intense sunshine to reduce overheating peaks. In winter: opening by day to capture solar gains, closing in the evening to keep the heat.
According to data published by Somfy: 10 to 30% less heating demand and up to 70% less air-conditioning consumption. Results vary with exposure, glazed area and the building.
Example scenarios
- Coordinated opening by zones in the morning
- Global closing in the evening
- Away mode (presence simulation)
- Automatic shade management
- Extra protection during heat waves

Frequently asked questions: TaHoma
What is the difference between motorization and automation?
Motorization lets you operate a shutter remotely (switch or remote). Automation makes it run according to a programmed or conditional logic: schedules, scenarios, sensors.
Can energy consumption really be reduced?
According to data published by Somfy, automating solar protection can reduce heating needs by 10 to 30% and air-conditioning consumption by up to 70%. Results vary with the building, its exposure and the glazed area.
Is TaHoma compatible with voice assistants?
Depending on the configuration and the equipment, TaHoma can be linked to the main voice assistants and connected-home systems.
What is the difference between Somfy RTS and io-homecontrol?
RTS is a reliable one-way radio communication, suited to simple centralization. io-homecontrol, depending on the equipment, communicates both ways, confirms position and scales further.
Is it relevant for a business or a building?
Yes. Automation allows consistent programming, zone management and lower energy costs for glazed façades, while simplifying opening and closing routines.
Is it suited to the Quebec climate?
Yes. Automation captures solar gains in winter (open by day, closed at night) and limits overheating in summer (automatic shading during intense sunshine).
