Product Information

Status as of 2022-07-06: Still working and in use daily. How to control Velux electric rolling shutters with Home Assistant and without Velux hardware Set up with Somfy Tahoma app went more or less smoothly (using existing remote controls), I can operate windows and blinds via the app

Goods that are either damaged or missing in transit must be marked on the delivery driver's paperwork prior to signing for the goods delivered, and reported to Roof Giant within (7) working days of the actual delivery date. I have just stared down this particular rabbit hole this morning, my builder is about to install two roof lights in my kitchen extension, I shall specify electric and plan to work with the electrician to steer him in the right direction regarding automation wiring however the mix of automation gateways is confusing. I assume KLF 200 is replaced by KIG 300? They appear to both be Wifi gateways and the KLF 200 no longer appears in the products list on velux.co.uk. a Velux KUX 110 per window (80€). They include a power supply and a radio remote. This is the module that powers and control the motor. Apparently, once a Velux SML has been used with a KUX unit it changes mode of operation and cannot be used with the following method.

Electric products with remote controls

Make sure that your smartphone is properly connected to a functional Wi-Fi network before beginning the installation.

Try closing down the app and re-open it to see if you have an unfinished installation. If so, finish the installation. If you want local support (via HomeKit controller) and you do not have Somfy products => I recommend KIG 300 So I decided to give it a shot whit the cheapest solution and recently I bought a Somfy Connectivity Kit. My experience with it: VELUX have teamed up with the smart home technology company Netatmo to create the New VELUX ACTIVE indoor climate system. Smart sensors continuously monitor the temperature, humidity and CO 2 levels in your home and open or close your VELUX INTEGRA ® electric roof windows, blinds and shutters to create a healthier indoor climate. If you have already configured HomeKit with another iOS device, please refer to the FAQ: ""How do I share the control of Apple HomeKit?"" to get an invitation.

It'll expose 2 blinds entities, a light entity for the blue led and the buttons on the device will open/close the blinds. Run esphome compile velux.yaml and the firmware will be available at .esphome/build/sonoff4chpro/.pioenvs/sonoff4chpro/firmware.bin. Flashing All VELUX window sizes are listed as width x height. For example, an MK04 window is 78cm wide and 98cm high.

Perhaps veering slightly off topic, do the Velux windows and blinds work with any third party switches, I’d ideally like to replace the supplied single wall box single gang faceplates with one single width wall box dual gang switch if possible. VELUX Touch gives you an all-in-one control for all your solar and electric windows, blinds and shutters. It's intuitive design makes it easy for anyone to use it. VELUX must be able to inspect and/or collect goods that are to be returned prior to the acceptance of the goods for return. Setup using VELUX app goes simlarly as with Connectivity Kit (but only VELUX products supported, no Somfy) a Velux KLF 200 (200€). This can control up to 5 individual windows via a touch screen or an API. Talks via radio to the KUX 110. It has a Home Assistant component.With VELUX App Control, comfort is always in reach. Simply tap your smartphone to let in a breath of fresh air or shade from the sun to control temperature, light, look, and feel of your home. However, during the outage you will not be able to use the app (i.e. no product control, no reading of indoor climate parameters and no modification of any settings). App functionality is automatically re-activated on all connected devices when the internet connection is re-established. The gateway may take a few minutes to reconnect after the internet connection has been re-established.

With the 15 minute ventilation timer, you can air your room and not worry about closing the window afterwards - VELUX Touch will do it for you. In my (rented) apartment I do have several VELUX INTEGRA windows with blinds. I also asked myself what the best way would be to integrate them as in addition to the mentioned VELUX products also Somfy claims to be compatible (as based on io-homecontrol) both with VELUX and also with Apple HomeKit.Easy installation: VELUX ACTIVE indoor climate control can be installed without any professional help. You may find a VELUX ACTIVE app elsewhere than in Google Play. An unofficial app may not be as reliable as the official one. We strongly that recommend you remove it and install the official app from Google Play. Please note that if you are viewing the installation guide for standard flashing kits, part 5 as numbered in the illustrationis pre-attached to the window and is not part of the flashing kit.Part 6 comes within its own box that is positioned above the window in the window box. This piece of hardware, the Sonoff 4CH Pro is ideal for this: It provides 4 relays, can be powered with 24V and has Wifi thanks to the ESP8266. It also has holes to solder a header to re-flash the chip and use a firmware more compatible with Home assistant, but more on that later.
