Somfy myLink controls our motorized shades. Somfy isn’t a household name. That’s because they make the motors for many products including motorized shades, curtains, shade screens, and, where I first discovered them – projection screens for home theaters. The motorized shades we have are from 3 Day Mini-Blinds, and have Somfy’s standard RTS motors. In truth, though, my first Somfy motor was in an expensive motorized Stewart Filmscreen 128” projector screen.
As long as I’m telling a story, when we bought our “dream home” (aka our Smart-Home-to-be) I needed a different screen – that was 6 years ago. I mention it because my newer motorized screen in my theater also has a Somfy motor, and it comes with the same remote control that came with our new set of three 3Day MiniBlinds motorized, pleated window shades (I wasn’t the least bit surprised, of course).
I intentionally went with 3Day Mini-Blinds because it was easy, pricing was reasonable – but especially because I knew they used Somfy motors, so that I could go beyond the basic point-and-click remote control, with two options. The first of these options is the one I’m writing about/reviewing here, called myLink.
