animeo

The animeo portfolio consists of intelligent building controls, motor controls, local controls, and a full array of sensors and additional accessories. This complete range of proven solutions guarantees maximum functionality and flexibility and a simple installation process.

Moreover, our products are naturally compatible with each other. That way, Somfy guarantees interoperability. Our intelligent solutions to automatically control solar shading will enhance occupants’ comfort and well-being while improving the building’s energy performance.

Designed with your best interest in mind

Our flexible range of animeo solutions can be both stand-alone (with our propriety protocols) and open protocol such as KNX. We can naturally integrate all solutions to communicate with Building Management Systems (BMS), for example through our BMS interface for BACnet.

With the introduction of animeo IP/io we can also offer solutions based on wire-free technology, which for example can lead to easier installation, especially in tricky renovation projects, and significantly less cabling for electricians.

Somfy’s products are designed with your best interest in mind, which is why we make sure to engineer our products in such a way that they are easy to install. This is true for the entire range, be it motors, motor controllers, building controllers, sensors and everything in between.

Shadow management

Depending on the time of day and a building’s location, shadows move, affecting the level of sunlight in each room.

Thanks to Somfy’s shadow management solution, each solar shading device is controlled individually or per zone, thereby guaranteeing optimum levels of user comfort.
