August 19, 2008

Somfy offers the next level of control for automated window coverings and projection screens utilizing the ILT2 motor with the introduction of the Somfy Digital Network (SDN) IP Interface. This interface is a serial device server used to connect Somfy ILT2 motors and control devices to an IP network. The SDN IP interface contains an embedded web server and configuration software that is accessed via any standard web browser and is therefore compatible with both PC and Mac platforms. Not only does the SDN IP interface offer unparalleled control of motorized shades and projection screens but it also offers added functionality with the ability create an unlimited number of personalized GUIs, These GUIs can be created and accessed from a link on any desktop and GUI actions have associated URL commands for interfacing with 3rd party IP control systems. Somfy continues to innovate with the introduction of the Next Generation ILT Motor. This new motor, with built-in intelligence, is designed to automate interior window coverings and projection screens. Controlling the Next Generation ILT motors in a network is simple thanks to each motor incorporating a unique address. All motors on the network communicates via a common protocol allowing integration with third party automation systems compatible with dry contact, Infrared, radio or RS-232/RS-485. As projects and applications change, so can the number of Next Generation ILT motors on the network. The automated roman shade in the bedroom can be easily added to the existing network of motorized black out shades and projection screen in the home theater room. And, as with all Somfy products, the Next Generation ILT Motor is backed by a 5-year warranty.
