setting and programming individual Power over Ethernet (PoE) motors following
installation of motors on projects.
What does this Guide contain?
The sections of this guide contain walkthroughs and methods of programming
Power over Ethernet (PoE) motors using the onboard web interface.
This guide discusses the programming of motors with the onboard web interface. For questions or assistance please contact technical support: (800) 22-SOMFY (76639) technicalsupport_us@somfy.com
How should this Guide be used?
This guide is intended to be used as a reference manual.
II. OVERVIEW
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) Motor is a low-voltage powered distribution and
network-connected motor that utilizes PoE technology power and control from
industry-common network switches. This motor supports both Somfy SynergyTM API
and CoAP Digital Building API protocols and is
compatible with Power over Ethernet Network Switches IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Type2
(30W) or higher. PoE motor system quantity is based on managing the number of
devices on the subnet(s) available, unless
specific network configurations are in place and managed by an IT
Administrator.
REQUIREMENTS
SOFTWARE
- Requires access to a web browser from any device that can support a web browser operation
- Root certificate during software installation
HARDWARE Recommended minimum cabling and connectors:
- CAT-5e SF/UTP (Shielded & Foiled with Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable or higher Required for installations with high electromagnetic emissions and applications that can produce high electrostatic charging due to excessive friction(Ex: Dual-roll, zebra shades, and similar shading)
- TIA-568B RJ-45 Connectors – Shielded RJ45 female coupler (#9028957) included with the PoE motors
- Network Router DHCP Server
- Power over Ethernet Network Switch IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Type2 (30W) or higher
- Sonesse® 30 PoE Motor #1241147
CONNECTIONS & INDICATORS
III. INSTALLATION
POWER
The PoE Motor receives power through the Power over Ethernet Switch. Cables
routed through a metal wall must be protected and insulated by sleeving or
sheathing.
In order to minimize electrostatic charging, end products should avoid:
- Fabric friction with other fabric like in some dual shade applications
- Hardware friction with fabric and other parts of the product such as fascia, cassette, and guide rails
- Excessive ESD caused by fabric friction in dual-roll and Zebra shade installations
BASIC WIRING FOR OPERATION BASIC WIRING FOR OPERATION
USING MOTOR LABELS
Each Somfy PoE motor is supplied with four labels that include motor
information to connect to motors. The label includes a four-digit PIN code for
the motor and will be used to log in to the motor. These codes will be used
for the life of the product.
DO NOT DISCARD THE MOTOR INFORMATION LABELS!
One of the motor information labels should remain on the body of the motor.
The other three labels should be shipped in the packaging of the motorized
product, or see below for recommended locations to use the labels.
Suggested locations for the Motor Information Labels:
-
Finished motorized products: Examples:
– Attached motor cable
– Removeable shade hem bar
– Motor cover -
Inside the valance of the motorized product
-
Work order sheet used in project planning
-
Product packaging used for shipping
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Gathering and organizing motor PIN codes and motor information from the
included motor labels is very important in navigating through the PoE motor
graphical user interface.
If the PoE WebGUI and the motor become disconnected, the login screen will
display to enter the PIN code to reconnect to the motor.
IV. COMMISSIONING
WEB INTERFACE LOGIN
Each PoE motor hosts a web interface for motor setting and configuration. Prior to configuring the motor, obtain the motor information label for the motor PIN code required for login. Refer to the MAC address to obtain the motor IP address from the network DHCP server. To configure or adjust PoE motors via the onboard web interface, follow the steps below:
- OPEN a web browser to NAVIGATE to the SOMFY PoE WebGUI
- ENTER the PoE motor IP address or the Host name in the address bar NOTE: Motor info entered must start with https:// Example: https://192.168.0.101
- At the “Your connection isn’t private” prompt, SELECT “Advanced,” then SELECT “Proceed to 192.168.0.101”
- At the Login, ENTER the PoE motor PIN code, then SELECT “Login” to connect to the motor
MOTOR SETTINGS & CONFIGURATION
Starting with “Settings,” continue down the process tree to configure the
motor SELECT “Home” to return to the Home screen or SELECT “Back” to return to
a previous screen.
Settings – Set the Rotation
-
SELECT “Set the rotation”
-
PRESS & HOLD the UP or DOWN button to move the motor until the button is released
OR
PRESS & RELEASE the UP or DOWN button to move the motor in small increments -
SELECT “Reverse” if the motor rotation direction needs to be reversed
The motor will jog once to confirm the reverse direction.
A jog is a brief up and down motion of the motor. -
SELECT “Next” to continue
Settings – Set End Limits
-
SELECT which limit to set first, “Upper limit” or “Lower limit” Upper limit is set first in this example.
-
PRESS & HOLD the UP or DOWN button to move the motor in the direction of the upper limit
OR
DISABLE “Hold to Move”
With Hold to Move disabled, the motor will continue moving in the selected direction. Unlike Press & Hold, this mode requires pressing the Stop button to stop motor movements.
The motor will not stop automatically when Hold to Move is disabled.
Take caution when disabling Hold to Move to prevent damage to the end product. -
PRESS the UP or DOWN button to move the motor in the direction of the upper limit
-
PRESS the STOP button prior to the desired upper limit
-
ENABLE “Hold to Move,” then PRESS & RELEASE the UP or DOWN button to move the motor in small increments until the desired upper limit is reached
-
SELECT “Save at current position” to continue
The motor will jog once to confirm the upper limit is set. -
PRESS & HOLD the UP or DOWN button to move the motor in the direction of the lower limit OR DISABLE “Hold to Move”
-
PRESS the UP or DOWN button to move the motor in the direction of the lower limit
-
PRESS the STOP button prior to the desired lower limit
-
ENABLE “Hold to Move,” then PRESS & RELEASE the UP or DOWN button to move the motor in small increments until the desired lower limit is reached
-
SELECT “Save at current position” to continue The motor will jog once to confirm the lower limit is set. Once upper and lower limits are set, the Current range will display. Example: 3600°. This value represents the total range of movement between the upper and lower limits . If setting motor limits to a known range, after setting either the upper or lower limit, ENTER a range value, then SELECT “Save range.” The motor will jog once to confirm the range is set. Refer to the Control the Motor section of this guide to test operation of the motor.
Configuration Name the Motor

Configuration – Group Addresses
PoE motors can be assigned to 16 group addresses. Group addresses are friendly
names associated to a Group #. If adding multiple motors to the same group,
ensure the group names are identical for each motor. Group names are case
sensitive and have a 24-character limit. To add or edit group addresses for an
individual motor, follow the steps below:
-
SELECT “Configuration”
-
SELECT “Group addresses”
