Setup of I/O Linc - INSTEON to Somfy RF Drape Control Kit?

[ferdies]

Hi,

 

I got "I/O Linc - INSTEON to Somfy RF Drape Control Kit" and was able to link to ISY994i. My Somfy controller RF has a remote controller (Somfy 74300 Telis 1 RTS).

 

I followed this instruction:

Installation

1) The following wires should already be connected from the Somfy Dry Contact Interface to the I/O Linc terminals.

Confirm the wires are connected and reconnect any wires as needed:

a. Thick bundle:

• Black to N/C

• White to N/O

b. Thin bundle:

• Black to GND

• Red to 5V

NOTE: During the programming of the Somfy shades, be sure the green wire is disconnected (you will connect the

green wire to I/O Linc as the last step).

2) Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the gray Somfy Interface lid

3) Plug I/O Linc into an unswitched AC outlet (within 65 feet of the Somfy drapes for the best radio frequency (RF)

communication results)

The I/O Linc Status LED will turn on and blink dimly depending on INSTEON traffic

4) Reference the Somfy Interface Operating Instructions to program the unit

5) Use pliers to connect the Somfy Interface’s green wire to the I/O Linc COM terminal (see Diagram 1 on the next

page)

 

My question is with regard to Step 4, what do I need to program on Somfy Interface? Is this referring to the physical controller connected to my window shades? What should I program here? (Note: My Somy Contoller was installed in a very high place )

 

I called smarthome but the help desk was NOT accommodating at all.

 

Appreciate your assistance guys.

 

Thanks.

Hi ferdies,

 

I think you get that information from Somfy. A quick Google returned only articles relating to Somfy:
