Somfy myLink Reviews

Crappy interface

Rlmsu

Few features. Clumsy. Hunter Douglas was way better.

The setting for lowering the shade a specific number of minutes before sunset is great because it adjusts as the time of sunset adjusts. But the limit is two hours ahead which is not useful enough for my windows. It should be capable of at least 3 hours ahead or more.

Disappointed

The Somfy was not cheap, but it is the only way I can control my awning from my phone. I have had to reset it multiple times to get it to work this year. Additionally it will not go back in per my schedule. It will only extend out. Help is very lacking in trying to figure out what the problems are as well.

Buyer beware.

The reason I purchased shades and somfy was to work with Alexa. Got through 3 of 4 steps of setup but won’t connect back to the my link. No number or email on the box. Been on hold for 2 hours for customer service and nobody has picked up. Don’t buy it.

Integration with Alexa

Got to work with Alexa but was not straightforward. Can only go all the way up or down. Cannot stop partway up or down. The command to Alexa has to be on or off instead of saying up or down.

Dr shade saved us

I had never heard of Somfy before until Dr. Shade came through for us. Dr. Shade consulted with me with meticulous detail on how the blinds will be electric, powered and motorized by a touch of a button from one’s smartphone by using the Somfy app. Not only did Dr. Shade provide a high standard job with my shades for my apartment, but Dr. Shade also provided an easy solution, of the highest quality, for my blinds, simplifying my life. I would recommend Somfy services for motorized blinds and shades as it gives considerable gain in time, but, most of all, comfort.

Terrible product

Hard to program, no local techs available. Vendors do not even know how to program products. Somfy does not even respond to there own tech requests.

Inconsistent, Hard to program, works sporadically

I’m very disappointed in the app. I have 5 shades on one remote control and the app seems to only program 4 correctly. I also created a scene and a schedule and only some of the shades did what they were programmed to do.

Incredibly easy to install

I’m still astonished how quick and easy it was to install all my 4 roller shades in different rooms in my brand new Somfy MyLink. I though I would need to hire a professional but it’s really not necessary. It’s a real plug&play device. I’m sure I save some buck doing it myself. So far, it worth the value.

Integration with IFTTT

I have been trying to integrate the Somfy system with IFTTT, but I keep getting a message saying: error generating activation code. Tried to reach costumer service, was on hold for almost 30 min with no answer
