It there a typical best option? The house will have zwave so my thought was just use the zwave option.

Is MyLink worth a crap?

Will be tying into URC TC.

I've got a driver for the URTSI if you go that route.  Have not done any zwave with somfy.

Bond Home appliance would be best choice.

What control system is involved? Not sure if drivers would be available for Bond.

URC Total Control, Lipp. not heard of bond. I assume thats some sort of Hub system? I will google it. It 100% must be integratable into Total Control. Thats the whole purpose really.

Thanks Duct. I have a driver as i have one other job with URTSI. Think its just a database driver. It works fine as far as control, its DISTANCE that is certainly an issue with the normal somfy!

Here you go Ranger. Again, not sure if the Chowmein guys wrote drivers for TC though. They did for C4.

https://bondhome.io/

[Link: chowmainsoft.com] doesn't look like its listed, but worth a chat to see if they working on it.

Controls a multitude of things like RF ceiling fans, fireplaces, shades, appliances, etc.

Even the Somfy guys admit that it works better than their Mylink.

Thanks Lipp. So this would basically replace an existing hub you would have in a set up? Ie, the zwave hub that URC has. Or is it in addition to it. Ill keep reading on it! Thanks.
