Introducing animeo® IP
animeo® IP is a total natural light management system utilizing Somfy-powered intelligent motorized window coverings as well as digital keypads and weather sensors. The system’s controllers, sensors and keypads can be added to both new and existing Somfy Digital NetworkTM (SDN) motor installations for comprehensive solar management as either a stand-alone solution or integrated into third party control systems.
An intuitive user interface allows for simplified commissioning, building management and technical support featuring drag-and-drop programming, motor auto discovery, and at-a-glance real-time system status updates.
