2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-tahoma
3. Update your configuration file. See bellow for a sample.

Configuration

Minimal configuration sample:

{
	"bridge": {
		...
	},

	"description": "...",

	"accessories": [],

	"platforms":[
		{
			"platform": "Tahoma",
			"name": "My TaHoma Box",

			"service": "somfy_europe",
			"user": "user@me.com",
			"password": "MyPassw0rd",
		}
	]
}

Configuration parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Note
service	String	'somfy_europe'	optional, service name (see above)
user	String	null	mandatory, your service account username (or gateway PIN / IP address)
password	String	null	mandatory, your service account password (or API token)
pollingPeriod	Integer	30	optional, bridge polling period in seconds
refreshPeriod	Integer	30	optional, device states refresh period in minutes
exclude	String[]	[]	optional, protocol, ui, widget or device name to exclude
exposeScenarios	Boolean	false	optional, expose scenarios as HomeKit switches. Could also specify a list of string corresponding to scenarios names to expose
devicesConfig	Object[]	[]	optional list of device specific configuration (see below)

Configure Local API

Local API service is available on TaHoma and TaHoma switch gateways.

WARNING: Switching to local API will break your HomeKit configuration (automations) as local API device identifiers actually differs.

Newer approach

The current way to active the developer mode on your gateway is to described in the official-looking developer GitHub Somfy-Developer/Somfy-TaHoma-Developer-Mode:

1. Open the TaHoma By Somfy application on your device.
2. Navigate to the Configure the installation > Access the parameters of your TaHoma box in the application.
3. Activate Developer Mode by tapping 7 times on the PIN of your gateway (like 2001-1234-5678) in a fast pace.
4. The app will show you a dialog with T&Cs and once confirmed, you'll be offered a screen to generate the token.
5. Configure the plugin service to Local API: "service":"local" with PIN of your gateway as user and the generated token as password.

Note you do not need to use the online API credentials service anymore as you'll be given the token right away in the app.

Older approach

Please note the Activate developer mode button in My Account appears to be not available anymore as of 08/2026 and the developer.somfy.com domain does not exist either.

To use Local API you will have to:

1. Activate developer mode (www.somfy.com > My Account > Activate developer mode)
2. Generate API credentials at https://dev.duboc.pro/homebridge-tahoma
3. Configure the plugin service to Local API: "service":"local"

When using Local API service, please fill user with your gateway PIN number or IPv4 address and password with the token generated at step 2

Specific device configuration

This option allows you to apply a specific configuation to device or group of device. One configuration is composed of a key attribute containing device name, widget, uiClass, protocol or unique identifier and as many parameter depending of device type.

{
	"key": "Bedroom door",
	"param1": "value1"
	...
}

Alarm parameters	Type	Default	Note
stayZones	String	'A'	optional, active zones (A,B,C) in 'Stay' mode
nightZones	String	'B'	optional, active zones (A,B,C) in 'Night' mode
occupancySensor	Boolean	false	optional, add an occupancy widget linked to the alarm

WindowCovering parameters	Type	Default	Note
defaultPosition	Integer	0	optional, final position for UpDown rollershutter after any command
reverse	Boolean	false	optional, reverse up/down in case of bad mounting
lowSpeed	Boolean / String	false	optional, use low speed for roller shutter supporting it. If string, specify slot time with format "HH:MM-HH:MM". Low speed will be enabled between them.
blindMode	String	null	optional, change main slider action to orientation. By default, both closure and orientation will be set. When setting blindMode: true the blinds work in the following way: Opening the blinds or setting them to 100% will fully open them. Closing the blinds or setting them to 0% will fully close them. Setting the blinds to a value between 1% and 99% will first close the blinds and then adjust thier horizontal tilt in a way that 99% means fully horizonal = more light, and 1% means nearly closed = less light.
blindsOnRollerShutter	Boolean	false	optional, when blinds are installed on roller shutter motors allow slats to stay horizontal (opened) at intermediate position
movementDuration	Integer	0	optional, duration of a full shutter movement from 'open' to 'close' in seconds. Will be used to approximate shutter intermediate position. (0 = disable feature)

GarageDoorOpener parameters	Type	Default	Note

cycleDuration	Integer	false	optional, cycle duration (in seconds) for cyclic mode (default: 5 sec)
