Somfy Announces that the myLink™ is Now an IFTTT Service

DAYTON, N.J., Jan. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Somfy Systems, Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of motors for interior window coverings and exterior solar protections, is excited to announce the Somfy myLink™ is now an IFTTT service. This integration with IFTTT allows the myLink to communicate with other smart home solutions easily. Users can get started immediately with Applets by Somfy, or create unique Applets tailored to their automation needs.

"Imagine your motorized shades closing automatically if your connected thermostat hits 90 degrees," said Eric Montgomery, Controls Product Manager of Somfy North America. "With myLink and IFTTT it's easy to maximize the benefits of window covering automation."

IFTTT (If This, Then That) is a free, web-based service allowing users to create connections between digital devices and services with conditional statements called Applets. When an action happens with one service, IFTTT automatically triggers a separate action in another service.

Somfy has created many useful Applets for the myLink to get users incorporating Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) motorized window coverings into their daily lives. For example, users can download a Somfy myLink Applet that allows control of your shades with simple voice commands through Google Assistant.

The Somfy myLink app allows users to control their motorized blinds, shades, draperies, awnings, screens, rolling shutters and more directly from their favorite smartphone or tablet. Automating window coverings protects homes from UV light, saves energy, maintains privacy and adds a wow factor to any home.

"Now that the myLink is an IFTTT service, users can enjoy the comfort and convenience of motorized window coverings, along with other connected devices, to create the ultimate ambiance," Montgomery said.
