III. Notes
Unless integrating ILT 2 shades, we recommend NOT using this driver, but instead using the
integration guide for Somfy shades. For more information, see XII. Tech Notes at the end of this document.
Somfy products ARE NOT compatible with the RS-485 station. If a similar setup is desired it is best to use an RS-232 station with an
RS-485 to RS-232 converter. For more information, see the Installation Steps section.
Somfy shades contain a calibration property within Design Center. If checked, this will cause the shade to execute a full open and
close. While this occurs, the system will measure the travel time from bottom to top and top to bottom. These values will be used to
produce an accurate widget animation. If the widget animation seems too fast or too slow, the travel time can be reset. This is done
