Therefore, I went about fitting it all in the original remote housing. Unlike the other instructable I linked to above, I wanted to have the Somfy remote on the wall and still be able to use the original buttons (family and guest friendly!). Software-wise it was a basic Arduino sketch using Blynk and webhooks into IFTTT. To do this, I used a Wemos D1 mini (good clone), USB charger, Somfy Situo remote and a dremel. I wanted mobile control (when I'm outside I have my mobile with me and I can hardly ever find or remember where the original Somfy remote went!), IFTTT control (so that I can link other events such as my ESP8266 rain sensor) and for me, Google home/nest voice assistant control too. I should say at this point, that a previous Somfy+Alexa Instructable ( here) by Jerry Olsen inspired and shaped the main soldering of this project. ![]() It's worth noting that this is the RTS Situo remote, I have not seen the inside of a Situo IO remote, so the below may not be relevant - drop a comment below if you've opened your Situo IO up to find something similar or not. In this Instructable, I'll show you how I took a cheap (yeah, Somfy and cheap!) Somfy RTS radio remote and took control via my mobile, IFTTT (think timers/reactions) and Google home.
