Descriere
Universal Control for TaHoma is a powerful and lightweight WordPress plugin that allows you to integrate your Somfy TaHoma smart home directly into your website. Using the official Overkiz (Somfy) Cloud API, this block provides a seamless way to control lights, plugs, shutters, and gates.
Key Features:
- Global Settings: Enter your credentials once in the WordPress Settings and use them across all blocks.
- Smart Status Tracking: Real-time device status (On/Off, Position %) displayed directly on the button.
- Smart Toggle Mode: Intelligent switching that knows whether to send „Open” or „Close” based on current state.
- Performance First: Built-in session caching (Transient API) to prevent rate-limiting and IP bans from Somfy servers.
- Multi-server Support: Works with standard TaHomalink and European Overkiz HA1 servers.
- Privacy & Security: Communication is handled server-side. Your credentials are never exposed to the frontend.

Întrebări frecvente
-
Why does my device not appear in the list?
-
Ensure your device is supported. The plugin currently supports On/Off Plugs, Lights, Roller Shutters, Venetian Blinds, Gates, and Garage Doors.
-
Check your credentials in the Global Settings. If you have too many blocks polling at once, Somfy might temporarily rate-limit your requests. The plugin uses caching to minimize this risk.
