Somfy 1871131 io-homecontrol 3-Channel Wireless Wall Switch, IP55, Pure White

Managing multiple Somfy io-homecontrol devices individually can mean juggling several remotes or walking to each control point. The Somfy 1871131 wall switch solves this by putting three independent channels on one wall-mounted panel, so you can command up to three motors or receivers from a single, fixed location.

Who is it for

This switch is for homes and small commercial spaces that use Somfy io-homecontrol technology for blinds, awnings, roller shutters, or lighting. It suits anyone who wants a permanent, wall-mounted control point that does not require wiring to the controlled devices, and who needs to operate up to three separate groups from one spot.

Main features

• Three independent io-homecontrol channels, each with Up, Stop, Down, and My (favourite position) buttons.
• Wireless operation on 868.3 MHz and 868.95 MHz, eliminating the need for control wiring.
• IP55-rated housing protects against dust and water jets, making it suitable for covered outdoor areas or damp indoor locations.
• Battery-powered with a CR2430 lithium cell, offering an estimated five-year life based on five operations per day.
• Surface-mounted design with screw or adhesive installation options; pure white ABS plastic blends with most interiors.

Tips

For best radio reception, avoid mounting the switch on large metal surfaces or inside metal enclosures. When using adhesive mounting, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. The My button can be programmed to recall a preferred position for each channel, such as a favourite blind height or awning extension.
