Somfy-powered Products Are Now Compatible with Amazon Alexa

Somfy is excited to announce that the myLink™ is now Alexa-enabled so you can easily operate your Somfy-powered products with voice commands. Controlling your Somfy-powered shades, blinds, curtains, exterior screens, awnings, and rolling shutters has never been simpler! With natural speech you can now enjoy the comfort, convenience, privacy, and energy saving benefits of Somfy products.  

Somfy’s new Alexa skill allows for control of all Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) motorized products controlled by the myLink app. All you need to enjoy the power of voice control is a fully operational Somfy myLink system with connected RTS products, an Amazon Alexa enabled device, and a mobile device running the latest version of the myLink app. 

If you have scenes and schedules set up in the myLink app, those can now also be voice controlled. For instance, if you have a morning scene set up with bedroom shades opening and bathroom shades closing, simply say, “Alexa, tell myLink to play Good Morning scene.” 

Perhaps you’re having friends and family over for a movie night to watch the scariest new horror film. Now you can set the scene without pressing a button. “Alexa, tell myLink to play Movie Night scene,” will send down your shades and close your draperies. All you need to do is create your desired scene in the myLink app. Now a natural language voice command is all it takes to turn your living room into the perfect theater. 

Or maybe you’re sitting outside, enjoying a beautiful day when a bee buzzes into your personal space. Say goodbye to insects without reaching for a remote! Simply say, “Alexa, tell myLink to lower the screen,” and you can enjoy your time outdoors in peace, without any unwelcome visitors. 

Somfy’s compatibility with Amazon Alexa means controlling your connected motorized products just became even simpler. Enjoy the wow factor of being able to say a simple command and watch your home spring into motion.
