We're building our home, are currently in the middle of wiring with walls wide open. We're using HAI Lumina Pro for whole house automation, including 5 Somfy drapes (1 Sonnesse 30 ST30 & 4 Glydea).
We were originally told to control the drapes with via serial commands, using several URTSDI's & 2 Somfy URTSII in the attic. This doesn't make any sense to me. Why would we use RF when we can use the wired RS485 & IP interface?
I asked the rep & he said that RF is more "flexible." If we have wall controls for the drapes & the HAI touchscreen & app, what more flexibility do we need? I have the impression that he doesn't have much experience with the RS485 setup/wiring, and is more comfortable with the RF system, thus why he's pushing it.
Does anyone have any experience with the RS485 setup? I welcome any feedback.
