IV. SYSTEM PREPARATION

SOMFY SYSTEM

A fully operational TaHoma system is required prior to ELAN programming. The TaHoma system supports up to 60 Zigbee motors (max. 50 WireFree), 10 smart plugs, 15 remotes, and 40 channels of RTS.

RTS devices programmed to an RTS channel will only receive commands from the associated TaHoma switch hub. Hubs must be placed within 25-35' of the devices they control.

• Confirm with the Shade Commissioning Agent that the TaHoma switch firmware is up to date.
• An Integration Report is generated in the TaHoma app which will include the TaHoma switch PIN and IP address.
• Ensure that a DHCP Reservation via MAC Address of the TaHoma switch is being used.
• Third-Party Integration must first be enabled in the TaHoma app (see Appendix A).

ELAN SYSTEM

A fully operational ELAN system is required prior to TaHoma integration.
