    Thank you for the video. As far as I understand it, the connectivity kit can be integrated in Home Assistant. So one should be able run different scenarios via HA then.

    Thanks a lot for this video, I was scratching my head since long deciding do I need both, or any one would do. Thanks again.

    If both can add the curtains to google home, you can also use google home for automatization of curtains for example? Because that would eliminate the benefit of the tahoma switch for me personally

      Hey Koen, did itwork, because i also think in thatcase i won’t need the tahoma switch. I find this a bit surprising because all the experts say you would need the tahoma switch for time relative control!

    so does the Connectivity Kit do the same thing as the RTS but without needing access to the electrical panel or sockets?

    Hi, i have a somfy terrace awning with a led stripe controlled by the somfy remote control (on off and dimmer).
    Is possible to control this led with Conectivity kit or I will need the tahoma?
    Thanks. 😊

    Can either of the devices be voice controlled to open blinds like 50%?

    Do I need physical access to the motors (which are 7 meters high and unreachable in my case) ?
    I hope there's a way to map the motors to Connectivity Kit using the RTS remotes.

    • @ottotromm
      @ottotromm Рік тому +2

      No, you don't need physical access. Pairing is done via the remotes, so it shouldn't be any problem to connect your blinds.

      No, you have the timer / auto scenario functionality with the connexoon. The connectivity kit will be a step down

      No, unfortunately, it isn't. The IO signal is on a frequency that's not allowed for commercial use by the FCC
