Somfy Protect products
Somfy Protect includes three product ranges and accessories that together form a complete, connected security installation:
These ranges can operate independently or together in the same installation.
You can add various accessories to the Home Alarm Advanced, Home Alarm and Somfy One / One+:
The Link (Home Alarm Advanced / Home Alarm) and Somfy One / One+ act as the "brain" at the centre of the solution. You connect the Link or Somfy One / One+ to your wireless network, then add any other accessories that communicate with these central systems over the Somfy Protect 868 MHz radio.
The Cameras are not a central system; they communicate through your residential gateway over wireless but doesn't communicate over radio. It does, however, communicate with your other components through the Somfy Protect cloud to form a complete, connected security installation.
Smart Home Somfy Protect
Somfy Protect is open to the connected home and has integration options to make your home as intelligent as possible.
You can find different integration options to configure either in your Somfy Protect app (Menu > Settings > Smart Home section at the bottom of the screen) or through the partner interface.
Amazon Alexa
Somfy Protect is compatible with Amazon Alexa. You can use it to control your installation by voice.

Somfy TaHoma
Somfy Protect now works with the Somfy universe through the TaHoma box. Connect your alarm to your window closures, lighting or heating. Simply connect your Somfy Protect account through the TaHoma web interface.

Note: Only the Home Alarm Advanced communicate through io-homecontrol® and RTS for Roller shutters. With the others system, you cannot therefore add detectors using these protocols without first passing through your TaHoma box.

Going even further
Somfy Protect allows you to use other intelligent services to provide a high level of service in terms of the interoperability of your connected objects.
IFTTT (If This Then That)
