Group Control Systems

Group Control is the movement of 2 or more motors from a single switch.

The SOMFY Group Control System allows for simultaneous control of an unlimited number of motors. At the heart of the Group Control System is the GCS-II which controls up to 4 motors as a group. The GCS-II accepts low voltage inputs from SOMFY’s own line of switches and it can be activated by building lighting or automation systems. In addition, SOMFY offers sun and wind controls for the GCS-II as well as a radio remote control option. Multiple GCS-II’s can be linked together and operated by a single “master” switch. If, however, both group control and individual control of a number of motors is necessary, SOMFY offers a line of Individual-Group Control products. For applications requiring more than 4 motors operated by the same switch, the GCS-II can be daisy-chained by way of the low voltage switch terminals.
