Somfy Z-Wave to RTS Interface (ZRTSI)

Somfy is a manufacturer of Radio controlled (Radio Technology Somfy RTS) motors for interior and exterior window coverings. Somfy’s Z-Wave to RTS Interface (ZRTSI) enables users of Z-Wave technology to control the widest range of Radio controlled motors for interior and exterior window coverings.

The ZRTSI is a Z-Wave bridge controller that resides as a node within a designated Z-Wave control network. The device receives Z-Wave transmissions and coverts them to motor control commands for Somfy’s full range of interior and exterior RTS wireless controlled motors. Each ZRTSI is plugged into an active electrical receptacle and has sixteen (16) virtual Z-Wave nodes that correspond to sixteen (16) RTS channels.

Each channel can control one individual or one group of RTS motorised window coverings. Z-Wave control dealers now have the opportunity to expand their product offering to include the integration of a wide range of wireless controlled motorized window coverings.

Somfy is proud to announce that the ZRTSI has just been named the Z-Wave Alliance’s (an open consortium of leading global companies dedicated to establishing Z-Wave as the standard in wireless home control) 500th Z-Wave certified product. Z-Wave provides an end-to-end solution that allows the homeowner to wirelessly manage and control lighting, thermostats, appliances and home entertainment systems from anywhere in the world. The Z-Wave certification process is extensive and those products that achieve certification can be identified by the Z-Wave logo on their packaging. All Z-Wave certified products are interoperable, making it easy to build a Z-Wave home network. Z-Wave products are being implemented in homes around the world by builders, installers, service providers and security companies.
