Zigbee – This logo indicates the product uses Zigbee 3.0 Mesh RF protocol. Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) – This logo indicates the product uses one-way Radio Frequency commands for control of the shade/screen. 485 – This logo indicates the product uses an RS-485 network to allow full two-way control and status of the motor(s). SDN is a proprietary term Somfy uses to describe 485 networks.
6 Common Control Nomenclature The control system and user interface(s) are generally connected to the local area network and connect with our shades from one or both of the following networking topologies : One -Way Radio Frequency Control signals are rou ted to a series of WIFI to RTS bridges such as the SI Link Pro Z. Each RTS to WIFI gateway can control up to sixteen RTS channels. Each channel can have an unlimited number of shades/screens associated with it. Each project can have up to ten RTS to WIFI gateways. Two -way RS -485 When two-way control is required, control signals are routed to the Shade Innovations IP gateway over the local area network using Internet Protocol and PoE. These systems are partitioned into isolated bus segments. Each segment can support up to 255 devices (shades, screens, and other node devices). SI.FI.

To import the profile into your custom profile’s library, see the KB Article on the Savant community on “App Note Profile Import Tool Setup Guide.” 2. After importing the profile into your custom library, you may search for the profile under Somfy Tahoma. 3. Place the component into your blueprint and name it. 4. Repeat step 2 for each TaHoma/LinkPro Z installed.
12 www.shadeinnovations.com | 512.832.6939 | Doc.#110-1 02B | V. 1.5 | 16 July 2025 5. Use a software program such as Advanced IP Scanner to find the IP address of your TaHoma/LinkPro Z. Ensure it is configured with an IP address reservation. The gateway will show up as “Gateway-####-####-####,” e.g., “Gateway-1602-3377-8057.” 6. Make the ethernet connection to the TaHoma/ LinkPro Z and enter the IP address for the device. 7. Using the Somfy Tahoma App, set up and configure all shades to be connected to the gateway. 8. Inside the app, go to “Settings,” “Third Party Integration,” and click on the Control 4 icon. Use this new screen to get the list of shades to enter into the “Shade” data table. Note: While you are using Savant for your integration, please note Control 4 is the only option to use in the TaHoma app. 9. In Savant, enter each shade you wish to control into the data table. In the Savant software, go to “Tools,” “Settings,” then “Shades.” In the “Shade” data table, press the plus sign in the lower-left corner to add a new line for each shade you wish to control. For each shade, be sure to set the following: a. Controller – name of the gateway that will be controlling the shade b. Location – Savant zone for this shade c. Entity – see table below for proper selection:
www.shadeinnovations.com | 512.832.6939 | Doc. #110-102B | V. 1.5 | 16 July 2025 13 d. Label – name of the shade as you want it to appear in the Savant Pro App e. Address 1 – should be the number after Zigbee or RTS and before the # or / 10. If you are using RTS shades, you MUST change the state variable on the TaHoma profile to RTS for it to operate properly: a. Open the TaHoma profile “Inspector.” b. Change the drop down to “State Variables.” c. Under “Type,” change to “RTS.” It MUST be in all caps. d. If you want to control RTS and Zigbee shade groups, you MUST place two TaHoma profiles in your project and set one up for RTS and one for Zigbee shade groups. 11. Once you have finished the data table entry, click “Done,” “Generate Services,” “Save your Config,” and upload. 12. Once the host has started, you will need to authorize the host to communicate with the Tahoma/ LinkPro Z. To do this, enter the third-party integration page in the Tahoma app from step 7. Once here, click the “Enable/Refresh Integrations” button.
14 www.shadeinnovations.com | 512.832.6939 | Doc.#110-102B | V. 1.5 | 16 July 2025 13. Open system monitor to the “System State” tab. 14. In the search box, enter “Token.” 15.

24 www.screeninnovations.com | 512. 832.6939 | Doc.#110-102B | V. 1.5 | 16 July 2025 Controlling a 485 Shade or Screen without an IP Controlled Gateway Controlling a 485 shade without an IP controlled gateway is possible but requires more expertise and service to simplify programming and lessen maintenance. Ensure you have a fully commissioned 485 screen or shade with all limits set before you begin any direct control. It is not necessary to have a permanently installed 485 gateway such as SI.FI. But you will need to set all limits with an IP gateway or a hard-wired limit setting tool. In order to do this, you must have a control system capable of direct serial communications for RS-485. Connect pin #1 to orange, pin #3 to orange and white, and pins #2 and #6 to brown. Next, navigate to the 485 String Calculator to gather your HEX strings to allow for all controls and status feedback.
