IMHO the best way to approach it is to decide exactly what equipment you will use, exactly where you will place it and work a plan from there. For example, I have a single receiver that is capable of multi room sound with 2 different sources. It is also a Dolby ATMOS capable receiver @9.2 channels but it can't do multiroom and ATMOS at the same time. For Audio advice I really like the guys at The Lifestyle Store in N Parramatta. Don't be afraid of the prices of their stuff, you can negotiate down for sure. I got a 40% off the rrp for a full set of Paradigms. You also need to think about subwoofer placement if you have a home theatre set up or even for just music. You can run RG6 from your audio source to wherever you want to put them. Re: Home Technology Hub 394Apr 04, 2017 11:06 pm Hi, has anyone got somfy motors for your blinds/curtains? If so, have you found a way to operate the blinds without using the somfy remote or mylink app?

If so, have you found a way to operate the blinds without using the somfy remote or mylink app? Thanks, I looked into this ages ago. Somfy does other wired solutions (admittedly I only found them on US websites) which you can wire into a normal light switch. You just need three mechs up, down and stop.

Somfy uses more proprietary stuff and not as easy to integrate as I thought... research continues....

Never worked with Somfy myself (yet, build prep in progress), however openHAB (my favourite HA system) has plugins specifically to work with Somfy Re: Home Technology Hub 400Apr 05, 2017 6:05 pm RegVic Decided to go with Somfy thinking they are well known brand and will be easy to incorporate into the home automation eco system but I guess I am wrong...

Just to clarify, the first motor can also be wired onto the digital output on a wired HA system ie cbus. So realistically you have a lot of different options... We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds.
