Somfy Plugin

To use the Somfy plugin, follow these steps:

1. Click Devices, Luup Plugins. Then 'install/uninstall plugins'. Find the 'Somfy plugin' and click 'save'.

2. Go to Devices, Luup Plugins, click 'Serial Port Configuration'. Find the serial port which you connected the Somfy interface to. Set the Baud to 9600, Parity to None, Data Bits to 8, Stop Bits to 1, and in the 'used by device', choose 'Somfy Blinds'.

3. Go to Devices, Luup Plugins, find the Somfy blind interface, click the '+' button and 'Advanced'. In the "ID" input box, enter all the blind numbers which are active. The Somfy interface supports 16 blinds, and Vera cannot know which of those 16 ports are actually connected to blinds. So rather than just displaying 16 blinds when you probably only have a couple hooked up, Vera expects you to enter in the "ID" field which ports actually have blinds. Each number must be 2 digits, padded with a 0, and separated with a comma, with no spaces. So if you have blinds connected to ports 5, 9 and 12, enter in the ID box: 05,09,12

4. Click 'Save'. Next time you go to the 'devices' you will see the new blinds that you specified in #3. Pick the rooms they are in.
