Shutters and lights automation

Hi,
on my house I wanted to start with some HA.
I have 9 shutters. Somfy went and said they can automate them with radio control. No Tahoma until now, we are in Italy so we will wait more than another year before Tahoma will come over here.
As I wanted to do some light automation too I was thinking about Vera 2, Z-wave and Fibaro blind control like those on vesternet (google fibaro blindo control and vesternet, I can't post links).

The question is:

I can ask to Somfy to install their motors with remote controller and then install by myself those Fibaro controls, (1 every shutter I think).

Thanks very much.

Well, the question was not clear.
I'm wondering:
May I ask to Somfy to install their motors with remote controller and then install by myself those Fibaro controls, (1 every shutter I think)?
Thank you if anyone can add some info.

Thanks Ranger,
so I don't understand how this fibaro controls should work as they claim. I'll ask them.

This ha been the answer from fibaro:
IF THE SOMFY MOTOR HAS MECHANICAL LIMIT SWITCH YOU CAN USE THE SLIDE TO CONTROL THE BLINDS, YOU KNOW THE POSITION. IF THE SOMFY MOTOR HAS ELECTRONIC MECHANICAL SWITCH YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CLOSE, PAUSE, OPEN THE BLINDS ( SLIDE CONTROL AND EXACT POSITIONING WORK ONLY WITH MECHANICAL LIMIT SWITCHES.

I shlud use Somfy oximo rts 6/17, have no idea if it has a MECHANICAL LIMIT SWITCH or ELECTRONIC MECHANICAL SWITCH, but it should be possibile if I understand.
