What are the system requirements for the myLink?
The Somfy myLink™ is a great way to control your Somfy-powered window coverings, from interior shades to exterior screens. With the myLink app, you can schedule your motorized shades to open at sunrise and close at sunset. Plus you can enjoy voice control of your shades!
Ready to get started? First, you need a myLink device.
To get started controlling your Somfy-powered products with myLink you need:
- A wireless router running 2.4 or 5 GHz networks with WEP, WPA2, open and mixed mode encryption
- A mobile device running iOS 7 or higher, or an Android device running Jellybean or higher
- Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) products, fully pre-programmed with limits and “my” position set, and an RTS control device
- 110V outlet
- Your WiFi network name (SSID) and password (if required)
You’ll also need to download the free myLink app for your smartphone or tablet.
The myLink app is available for download on the Apple App Store and on Google Play.
Which app do I need?
The latest app release version is 6.3 for both iOS and Android devices and is required for installing and operating newer myLinks on their own or in a system with both newer and legacy myLinks. Older versions of the apps (3.1 and below) are only compatible with legacy myLinks.
That’s it! Now all you have to do is set up your myLink and get started!
