I. Overview

As part of its Premier Partner Program, Vantage Equinox products support the Somfy Sonnese 30 RS485 for control of the shades in

your InFusion Project. After setting up the Somfy in Design Center, the Equinox Shade Widget user interface for control of the Somfy

Shades automatically appears in the EQ41 and EQ73 in-wall touch screens and on mobile devices installed with the Equinox App

(available for iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Android products).

*see Notes section for information about Vantage RS-485 stations.

III. Notes

Unless integrating ILT 2 shades, we recommend NOT using this driver, but instead using the Somfy RS-485 SDN 2.0 driver and

integration guide for Somfy shades. For more information, see XII. Tech Notes at the end of this document.

Somfy products ARE NOT compatible with the RS-485 station. If a similar setup is desired it is best to use an RS-232 station with an

RS-485 to RS-232 converter. For more information, see the Installation Steps section.

Somfy shades contain a calibration property within Design Center. If checked, this will cause the shade to execute a full open and

close. While this occurs, the system will measure the travel time from bottom to top and top to bottom. These values will be used to

produce an accurate widget animation. If the widget animation seems too fast or too slow, the travel time can be reset. This is done

by un-checking the “Calibrate”checkbox and performing an update, then rechecking the box and updating again. This will cause the

shade to perform a full open and close to re-measure the travel time. Once the travel time is set, it will not change until recalibrated

through Design Center or some property of the shade is changed in Design Center.

V. Installation Steps

Use the above guides to install the Somfy shade systems. The limits of each shade must be set up outside of

Design Center using the limit setting tool such as the one pictured to the right. In order to automate the shade,

you need determine the motor address for each shade. This is not anywhere on the device itself (NodeID

written on shade and motor is to identify shade in config tool) and must be determined using the SDN Motor

Configuration Software (below) found in the “Downloads”page above, or calculated manually as described in

XII. Tech Notes. In order to use this software, you will need to

connect the Somfy system to your computer’s com port. This is

typically done with an adapter such as the one pictured below

from U-Linx. The software will allow you to determine the motor

address of each shade using the “Get Mtr Addr” button. You can

also assign group addresses to each shade on the system. Make

note of each shade’s motor address and group addresses. These

will be used in Design Center Setup. Connect a wire from the Somfy System bus

to the InFusion Project. Red is T/R+, Black is T/R-, and Green is Ground. You

should be ready for Design Center configuration.

Somfy products ARE NOT compatible with the Vantage RS-485 station. If a station is wanted or needed, you will need to use an RS-

232 station with an RS-485 adapter, both are pictured below. We recommend the B&B converter with a null modem attached for

two way communication.

VI.Design Center Setup

Follow these instructions to add the Somfy to your Design Center project and configure its settings appropriately.

1. Project Settings –Click

on Settings | Project

Information| Owner

(tab). Fill out the

Equinox Mobile

Passcode:

(alpha/numeric), and

the Equinox Admin PIN:

(numeric).

2. Add Somfy Sonnese 30 –

In the Object Explorer,

select Drivers and drag or

double click the driver to

add it to the project.

TIP: The Somfy is added to

the room currently

selected when double

clicking.

3. Name the Somfy –In the Object Editor, name the Somfy

and give it a user-friendly

display name also.

4. Set the Area –Set the area

for each shade. Also, set the

area for the system.

5. Add a port –Add a new RS-

485 port. This will correspond

to the port that you

connected the Somfy to the InFusion Project with.

6. Add Groups –Add the number of groups you

programmed during installation.

7. Add Shades –Add the

number of shades you

have in each group.

8. Set Group Addresses –

Enter the group address

you programmed during

installation.

9. Set Shade Motor Addresses –Enter the motor address

for each shade on the system. (This is NOT the Node ID.

See V. Installation Steps or XII. Tech Notes for how to get

the motor address.)

10. Calibrate –When the

system is ready, check

the “Calibrate”

checkbox within each

shade and perform an

InFusion update. See

notes above for more

details.

VII.Equinox 40 Setup

The Equinox 40 has no native shade widget support for use with the MechoShade IQ2. However, EQ40 (and keypad button) control

may be accomplished through Design Center tasks. See Design Center Procedure Table in section XIII.

VIII. Add Additional Equinox Devices and Program Controller

To use the Somfy with the Equinox Shade widget, simply add and name any EQ 73 or EQ 41 (from Vantage Objects | Touchscreens in

the Object Explorer pane) in their respective areas in your Design Center project. (For the Equinox mobile app, no object needs to be

added.) No additional Design Center setup is required.

Connect to the InFusion Controller. Configure the devices. After the devices are configured, do an Update or Full Program. The

devices should now be operational.

Do not touch or send commands (open, close, stop etc) to a Somfy Shade while it is calibrating. These may cause errors which will

require recalibration. If Equinox animation appears inaccurate, recalibrate the effected shade.

IX. Equinox Widget Navigation

Once a Somfy Shade is added to the project, the Shade widget will normally appear on the EQ73, EQ41, and Equinox Apps. If the

widget is not visible, go to Profile Settings and select the widget to make it visible. Note that if the Shade widget is already on the

Equinox device, but the Somfy Shade is not visible; go to the widget’s Edit Mode (see below) to toggle the shade to make it visible.

The following screen shots, taken from a typical EQ73 device, show the basic navigation for full Equinox widgets on the EQ41, EQ73,

and Equinox App, among the three widget views: Dashboard, Full Screen, and Edit Mode. Refer to the “Equinox Apps Widget Install”

document on Vantage’s website for more detailed information.

Equinox App Licensing Note

Install the Equinox App (search for Vantage Equinox) on your iOS or Android devices. A valid license is needed for each Equinox

device connected to a Vantage System. Licenses are available via Controller SD cards for up to 5 (EQ-APP-5), 10 (EQ-APP-10), or

unlimited (EQ-APP-X) quantities of Equinox devices. Also, each EQ73 station adds one more license (EQ73TB-T1). Ensure Step 1 of

the Design Center Setup was completed, as the Equinox App will not run without the Equinox Mobile Passcode. Launch the App, and

follow the on-screen prompts in the Setup Wizard.

XII. Tech Notes

Things to Know / Gotchas

Most Somfy shades (except for ILT 2 manufactured before 2016) are compatible with both this driver and the Somfy RS-485

SDN 2.0 driver. Except for ILT 2 shades, we recommend using the Somfy RS-485 SDN 2.0 driver instead of this, the Sonesse

30 RS485 ( Equinox ), driver. That driver uses Node ID directly (not motor address), which is already printed on the shades.

As noted above, Somfy products ARE NOT compatible with the RS-485 station. If a similar setup is desired it is best to use

an RS-232 station with an RS-485 to RS-232 converter, as explained in the Installation Steps section.

If a shade is experiencing difficulty calibrating, change the shade to a different position and attempt recalibration.

If a shade appears stuck during calibration, press the open or close button to reanimate it.

You must use the limit setting tool before the shade can be used in calibration.

The Node ID listed on the motor is NOT the motor address. You will need to determine the motor address using the

configuration software tool. For an alternative method, see below

If you are familiar with hex notation, you may be able to manually calculate the motor address from the Node ID using the

following steps:

1. Subtract the Node ID from FFFFFF (in hex). For instance, in Windows:

Open the Windows built-in Calculator program

Change the View to Programmer

Select “Hex” in the number format area (as opposed to Dec, Oct, or Bin)

Type in FFFFFF

Press subtract (-)

Type in the Node ID for a given shade (usually written on the shade’s label)

Press equal (=)

2. Swap the first byte and the last byte of the result (each byte is two hex characters):

For instance, F9FE53 becomes 53FEF9. (F9, FE, and 53 are the three bytes. Do not swap the two hex

characters within a byte.)

3. As a full example, Node ID 0601AC would become motor address 53FEF9.
