Somfy Connectivity Kit

The Somfy Connectivity Kit is a smart home gateway designed to control motorized home equipment like shutters, blinds, and terrace awnings. Developed by Somfy, the brand is a global leader in home automation solutions.

Originally founded in Cluses, France, Somfy has grown from a local company specializing in precision mechanics for the watch industry into a multinational group focusing on the 'Internet of Things' and home comfort. While much of the electronic assembly for consumer kits occurs in China to optimize production costs, Somfy maintains significant manufacturing and R&D facilities across Europe, including France, Poland, and Tunisia.

The company is currently owned by the Somfy Group, which remains headquartered in France. It is a major player in the building automation market, renowned for its proprietary RTS and io-homecontrol radio protocols, which allow for seamless integration between various home appliances and mobile devices.
