TaHoma switch

Selora recommended

TaHoma switch is Somfy's current hub and the one to specify for a new install, because it is a multiprotocol gateway that Home Assistant can drive over the local API instead of the Somfy cloud. It ships in two regional variants, and which radios are inside depends on which one was bought.

Works on integrations
Protocols
Setup guides
Two variants, one product name. The European unit (1870600 in the UK, 1870594 and 1870595 elsewhere) carries io-homecontrol, RTS, and Zigbee 3.0, pairs up to 200 devices, and uses Zigbee for lighting only. The North American unit (1871037) has no io-homecontrol at all, because io is not sold there: it drives 60 Somfy Zigbee products and 40 RTS channels, and up to ten switches can be joined for multi-zone RTS. Connection is Wi-Fi, with Ethernet through the TaHoma switch Ethernet adaptor, which is bundled in some North American kits and is the connection to use when the hub sits in a rack. For Home Assistant, enable developer mode in the TaHoma app under Account, Configure the installation, Access the parameters of your TaHoma box, then tap the PIN seven times; the integration then connects to the gateway PIN plus `.local:8443` with a token instead of going through the cloud. Two caveats on that local path: scenarios and climate entities are only available over the cloud API, and the gateway holds an execution queue of roughly ten commands. The integration batches commands sent close together, which keeps ordinary automations inside that limit, but a scene that moves every cover in the house at once can still overrun it and come back as an `EXEC_QUEUE_FULL` error, so stagger the big ones. Zigbee, Z-Wave, Hue, and Sonos devices paired to the hub are not exposed to Home Assistant even though the hub itself controls them.

Hardware availability

TaHoma switch is the current hub in both Europe and North America, in two regional variants: the European unit adds io-homecontrol to RTS and Zigbee, the North American unit is RTS and Zigbee only because io-homecontrol is not sold there. TaHoma v2 and the Connexoon boxes are no longer marketed, and Somfy’s own product page labels the Connexoon box discontinued, but both stay supported by Home Assistant and both still answer the local API. Somfy myLink is listed obsolete on the Somfy store. Motors are ordered through Somfy dealers and shade fabricators rather than retail, so several of the links below are manufacturer product pages rather than storefronts.
