Thanks for the reply, this confirms my suspicion on how the system communicates with the local connexoon box.
The system will not work if you setup a firewall for the local network that blocks all incoming traffic, hence the reason to open a (network) port to allow the somfy server access to the connexoon box.
I guess there is currently no workaround for this.
I have seen remarks in other threads that people tried to control the blinds locally but without success, which means this is the only solution for the moment.
You do not have to open any ports since the connection initiator is your box (it is a standard TCP outbound connection and your router is out of the box configured for such communication)
So it might work this way:
your box opens a connection to Somfy server
your box listens for any events which occur on Somfy sever
your box does the action according to the cought event
So - Somfy server does not connect to your box and you need no extra configuration to make it working.
You are right, there is an extra delay (100~200milliseconds in my case) before your command is executed, but I can assure you it works pretty well anyway
I’m currently waiting for my Connexoon box to arrive as I understood the this box is also using the same API as the much more expensive Tahoma box.
Will this binding get also an offical binding at some point?
Can I use the latest version from this thread …2.3.0.snapshot.jar also in a openHAB 2.2 version?
I finally received my Connexoon box and I’m running into issues quite early.

I’ve got the binding set up with some Venetian blinds and it all seems to work great. Thanks to those who made the binding it’s awesome.
I there a way to send a small increment to the blinds??? I can do this with the RTS remote or the app.
I want to be able to tilt the blinds and at the moment, I can either open fully or close fully or use the ‘my’ setting. It’s not enough as I want to have different amounts of tilt that I set based on the weather.
The Orientation channel seems to only work as a switch. So it can be either “open” or “closed”. I tried it as a dimmer type but got the error

OK, it seems that RTS venetian blinds use another command for the orientation setting. Can you please PM me your getSetup response (you can see it during binding initialization on DEBUG)
thanks

Hi Ondrej,
thanks for your nice Work. When starting Openhab 2.2.0 with your snapshot from mentioned here Tahoma Binding compatible with OH2. I get the following Exception a few times:
Cannot send apply command setClosure with params [0]!

I used OH 2.1 and an older Snapshot from you before, and I didn’t get this excpetion. Do you know if this exception is critical. As far as I can see my shutters work as expected…
sorry to hear you have problems with my binding.
Could you please tell me, what exact device are you using? It seems it sends a command which is not recognized. I guess you are using a dimmer item and you want to open the device (rollershutter, awning etc)
Does it work for up and down commands?
The error occurred directly when starting OH without any interaction.
I’ve set the log level to TRACE (which works, I can see your log messages) but the error no longer occurs. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Is there a place to get the most recent sources? I could do some remote debugging if the error turns up again.
Best regards
Benjamin
Hi all,
I just read this exciting thread, because I’m planning to buy a Somfy shutter.
To buy the right stuff, I would like to know if it is sufficient to buy an io engine only, or do I need anything else e.g. a Tahoma gateway, to integrate the shutter into my openhab system?
Hi, you need a gateway for using this binding. Not sure if there’s some other option than Connexoon or Tahoma, but these both gateways are confirmed to be working.
Thanks.
Ondrej
Hi Ondrej,
thanks a lot for your quick response. I will buy the connexoon io box.
Is there some documentation available how to install your binding?
The bindings I installed so far were installed by using PaperUI.
if you want to manually add a new binding not included in the official distribution, just copy the binding .jar file to addons directory of your OpenHAB installation.
