Each time the sensor detects a sharp rise in temperature, your outdoor roller shades will lower automatically to maintain an optimal temperature inside your home.
At dusk, to protect your privacy programme, your outdoor sun shades close automatically and the lights turn on.
You can now enjoy a family moment, in complete privacy.
With centralised outdoor screens, a simple touch or voice command closes all your exterior roller shades when you leave home, and opens them again when you get home.
No matter where you are or what time it is, you can look at your TaHoma® app and check your electric outdoor screens.
Open or close them in one click.

The all-in-one radio or wired screen motor, with advanced features to match all screen specificities.
Maestria 50 motor is designed for various types of external vertical screens : standard screens, zip screens or screens with locks.
A standard screen has fixed side guides, but are also available with tensioned steel wire to act as a guide for the fabric. This type is less suitable when used at higher altitudes such as apartment blocks as strong winds can cause the bottom bar to flap.
This type of screen has a metal bottom bar that will lock into the side guide when closed. This is called a 'windproof' screen. Ideal in high wind scenarios to prevent flapping of the bottom bar.
These are screens that have a type of zipper on both sides that ensures the screen cloth is always evenly tensioned. This type of outdoor screen is ideal for both low and high-wind applications.
The points to check before selecting a motorised system: 1. What type of external screens do you prefer? Two options: choose between a standard external screen or a Zip screen. Zip screens offer real advantages: a perfectly tight fabric, greater wind resistance and total darkness. 2. What is the angle of your wall? Motorised systems for external screens can only be installed on perfectly straight walls ( 180° angle). 3. What quality of fabric do you need? Certain criteria will determine which product is right for you: UV and weather resistance, easy maintenance, etc.
Several types of external screens exist: 1. Screens with cassette. The sealed cassette protects the fabric from bad weather and guarantees that your equipment lasts longer. 2. Traditional screens. There are two types of screen systems: a rail system that guides the fabric along rails, or a cable system that guides its travel freely. For these screens, we recommend you use the Sunea io motorised system. 3. Zip screens. The fabric is held in place in the side channels thanks to a half-zip system. For these screens, we recommend you use the Maestria 50+ io motorised system.
The points to check before selecting a motorised system: 1. Screen. Several projection screen formats exist: 3:4, 9:16 and others. The screen format must be considered before deciding on which motorised system is best. 2. Quiet motorised systems. To take full advantage of the acoustic comfort provided by the Sonesse® solutions, we recommend you use the “Designed for Silence” accessories. 3. Available power supplies. A power supply must be available near the motor. These Somfy products must be installed by a professional.
