Somfy Smart DIY | Make Shades Smart With ESPSomfy-RTS

A controller for Somfy RTS shades and blinds.

Ultimate DIY tutorial on building your own ESPSomfy RTS controller and making Somfy blinds and shades smart. In this step‑by‑step guide, you'll learn how to control Somfy RTS blinds and shades using an ESP32 microcontroller paired with a CC1101 transceiver module. I cover everything from hardware assembly (using easy-to-find and very cheap parts) and firmware flashing to configuration, with the possibility to integrate with Home Assistant via the custom HACS component.

Integration with Google Home, Apple homekit and Alexa, is also possible via home Assistant.
