SI TaHoma App

SI TaHoma App PRO

INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Thank you for your purchase of your Screen Innovations shading products.This Quick Start Guide is designed to help you with your deployment. All Screen Innovations projects are designed using our patent-pending Flow design tool. In this tool amongst many other things, shade project designers will have the ability to name all the shades and to select the desired Zigbee channel and Edge routers. Zigbee channel selection may be impacted by other Zigbee or control meshes, refer to our Zigbee design guide for more detailed information on designing your mesh.Once your shades have been built as per your order, our production will label each shade and apply a QR code. SI’s production does all the heavy lifting for you, such as setting all the limits and the motor direction. Each motor is then paired to a wireless gateway. After the quality control of the shade is complete, the shades are placed into a sleep mode and carefully packaged and shipped.

DEPLOYMENT STEPS

Note : SI only supports the Somfy app called “TaHoma North America” for Zigbee/RTS shade systems.

Locate the end-users control device and desired email address.
Download the TaHoma North America app.
Locate the Pin number of the wireless gateway which is located on the box and also on the label of the gateway.
Refer to the installation manual for TaHoma/ LinkPro ZN to temporarily power up the gateway (ensure the ethernet connection has been made to the TaHoma dongle before applying power – refer to the TaHoma installation instructwions for more details).
Register the app with the end-user’s email and pair the gateway using the QR code located on the box or on the bottom of the wireless gateway, then type in the Pin number when requested from the app.
Locate all of the Zigbee Edge Routers and Remotes and place them in a common location.

Note: Some Zigbee edge routers such as the Smart Switch, Smart Outdoor Plug and the Smart Outlet will show up in the TaHoma app with a light bulb icon. This is normal as most users connect lamps to these devices. DO NOT DELETE.
