Somfy PoE Touch Panel Room Controller Designed to Improve User Experience

June 29th, 2021 Jeremy Glowacki

The Somfy PoE Touch Panel Room Controller is a new touch screen user interface that provides local room control of motorized shades, draperies, and gateway connected devices using Power over Ethernet.

Ideal for high-end residential to commercial buildings, such as hotel suites and conference rooms, the solution provides two-way control of motorized shades connected to PoE Gateways to maximize the end-user experience.

Somfy PoE Touch Panel Features 5.7-inch Display

As a touch screen interface with 5.7-inch display, the Somfy PoE Touch Panel Room Controller will provide users with a robust and reliable interface to control and receive position status for low-voltage Somfy Digital Network (SDN) Motors. It also allows control of up to 20 PoE Gateways, individually or as groups, to precisely control single or multiple window coverings. The Somfy PoE Touch Panel Room Controller is a wall-mounted display and is available in either white or black color options to adapt to any interior design needs.

Advantage of Power over Ethernet Integration

Speaking on the launch, David Parrett, director of product marketing of Somfy North America said, “As the leading manufacturer of motorized shades and blinds, our team is constantly innovating to stay adept with new developments and trends in the home and building automation industry. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the latest technology standard that allows control over multiple devices throughout the residential or commercial buildings. Utilizing this technology in our newest product, the PoE Touch Panel, we have been able to provide direct integration with shades and draperies offering the ultimate end-user experience and comfort.”

Two-Way Communication

Somfy Product Manager Building Controls Youssef Ibrahim added, “Building needs are constantly evolving to provide a customized user-experience. With the PoE Touch Panel, we are providing our users with direct control over a single or group of motorized shades to suit their comfort, lighting, and privacy needs. The panel offers two-way communication, allowing the customer to see where the shades are positioned real-time.”
