Power over Ethernet
(PoE)
Innovative Control Over Your Motorized Window Treatments
With SDN Power over Ethernet (PoE) Gateways, it’s simple to integrate Somfy-powered motorized shades and draperies connected to PoE control systems to maximize the benefits that they provide, such as energy savings, privacy, comfort, and convenience for new or existing projects.
Power over Ethernet – How does it work?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) distributes network signals and electrical power to transmit communication over standard low-voltage category cabling to various endpoints, including shades, draperies, LED lighting, HVAC controls, cameras and other networked devices in new or existing projects.
Benefits of Power over Ethernet (PoE)
With PoE, installation is seamless due to a networking feature that allows network cables to carry electrical DC power and IP data connectivity over an existing data connection with a single Cat5e/Cat6 ethernet cable. This means increased safety and no need for an electrician.
Motors are immediately discoverable and ready for commissioning by using a web GUI; a physical setting tool is not needed.
Allows for simple integration. Direct integration to your favorite third-party control system via Somfy Synergy™ API without the need of additional hardware.
