For folks who have Somfy blinds where you have multiple channels on your Somfy controller, this app will synchronize the status of your desired channel to the rest of the other channels on your Somfy controller. It does not actually send the zWave commends to the other channels, but rather just retrieves the master blind status and replicates it across the other channels to maintain an accurate state of all of your blinds. This is needed since the Somfy controller ZRTSI does not inform ST about it’s state and some people will have an all blinds channel which controls multiple blinds.
It will only work with @E_Sch’s Somfy Device Handler which can be found at
Eventually, I will get this on GitHub and figure that out. Special thanks to @tgauchat who provided guidance here.
