Somfy myLink

I have had my devise installed for just about week now I like having the ability to have my shades go up or down set with Sunrise and Sunset along with the 60 minute override That seems to be work good but I was expecting to see if the shades are up or down from my app I have a Chamberlain Liftmasters My Q system for my garage doors indoor lamp and outdoor lights That system works fantastic Not only does it show if the overhead doors are open or closed but has a timer that shows how long they were in each attitude Same with the lights Yes I know this is Somfys first few revs of this app but would like them to add the features that the My Q system has currently in the future developments Lastly I have a bank of 5 large windows I was disappointed that I cant have control of each of the 5 windows plus a separate all scene without having to purchase another device           Needs more graphics

Easy to setup Should default to Scenes if thats what you used last Hopefully will have Apple Watch support soon like with Hue and IFTTT support When my Nest says the temperature is over 85 lower the Somfy shades           So far so good

I believe that part of the experience is the responsiveness of the shades and blinds This app is just to slow to consider using it        To slow to enjoy it

You can add events to a schedule but you cant subtract So after spending time creating an entire household schedule if you make one little mistake youre screwed Live with it or reset the device and start over Want to tweak a schedule that has already been created tough crap Try to work around it by removing all the days of the week nope it forces you to pick at least one day Somfy just slap in a delete button and were set     Cant delete events once created Really

I actually like the Mylink product overall because it allows me nesthuelevel remote control and scheduling over my window shades The app itself though is pretty basic with an unintuitive UI sluggish responsiveness and missing basic features like disabling schedules When I want to turn off my schedules for one reason or another I actually unplug the Mylink device to avoid trying to accomplish the same through the app Im hopeful theyll add a few more basic app features in the future           Good product overall but app needs work

Is a good App but it takes too many steps to change a Scheduled Scene it would be very useful to add an able and disable button to every Schedule As well as the geofencing feature to activate a certain Scene           Able and disable schedules

Easy to set up slow to operate No stop button for some reason           No stop button

Im surprised at how little control this app has Its really basic and has hardly any more features than a old fashion remote The only bonus is the sunrise sunset feature with offsets It would be nice as others have stated to close for different outdoor temperatures Also closing to more than one height level Eg 10 or 60 For the same shutter        Ok ish app

Very confusing and awkward At least one bug is the inability to change the pin number related to adding addl devices to config User needs to search web for a distributor that has created a user manual since Somfy has chose not to do so Operation is painfully slow in response to commands but it does work locally and remotely User experience leaves something to be desired           Works but awkward and not intuitive

The app is very basic and doesnt give the status of the blinds and is very difficult to navigate around in for setup options I chose to use the zWave RTS integration with Smartthings as now I have it tied into the rest of my house and that hardware supports 16 channels while the MyLink only supports 5           Mediocre app and hardware

Ridiculously long load time 10 seconds on an iPhone 6 So slow I never really use it Needs major performance improvements so it is merely clunky to use and not painful        Worksbut super slow
