Standard Controls

Switches

Switches are the most common interface between the user and the motor or motor controller.

SOMFY offers a line of elegant switches made exclusively for motor control. These switches feature up, down, and stop positions in both momentary and maintained configurations for hardwired AC control of a single motor. Momentary switches will continue to drive the motor in a given direction as long as that switch direction is depressed, or until the motor reaches it’s limit in that direction. Maintained switches can be pressed and released and the motor will travel to it’s limit in the chosen direction. If you are required to control a single motor from two or more locations, it will be necessary to have all the switches interface with a SOMFY Multi-Switch Command unit. If one switch is required to control two or more motors, you will need to review the Group Control products.
