Why can't standard Somfy motors be wired in parallel?
Somfy operators are fitted with a single phase asynchronous motor type,
which means that there is a capacitor between the two directional windings.
When operators are wired in parallel, all directional wires are interconnected
through the capacitors (shown in light red below), this produces interference
between directions.
