somfy-rest-api

Control any somfy blinds with a REST API to be used with e.g. Amazon Alexa or Fibaro HC

Functionality

This project provides a REST interface to control your somfy blinds. You can control any somfy stuff that uses Somfy Smoove Origin RTS Protocol. You need a Raspberry PI and a 433 MHZ transmitter.

This project contains three parts:

Part 1: Python Script to control blinds

See README for installation and information. This is based on Pi-Somfy

Part 2: Spring Boot Application for REST Interface

Provides the REST API to the python script

Part 3: Optional AWS Lambda

You can also integrate the provided REST API with Amazon Alexa. See README. This will provide a speech interface like:

Alexa, turn blinds on. Alexa, turn blonds off.
