Using the official Overkiz (Somfy) Cloud API, this block provides a seamless way to control lights, plugs, shutters, and gates. **Key Features:** * **Global Settings:** Enter your credentials once in the WordPress Settings and use them across all blocks. * **Smart Status Tracking:** Real-time device status (On/Off, Position %) displayed directly on the button. * **Smart Toggle Mode:** Intelligent switching that knows whether to send “Open” or “Close” based on current state. * **Performance First:** Built-in session caching (Transient API) to prevent rate- limiting and IP bans from Somfy servers. * **Multi-server Support:** Works with standard TaHomalink and European Overkiz HA1 servers. * **Privacy & Security:** Communication is handled server-side. Your credentials are never exposed to the frontend. ### External services This plugin connects to the Somfy TaHoma / Overkiz Cloud API to control smart home devices. * **Service:** Somfy TaHoma Cloud (Overkiz API) * **Usage:** Used to authenticate the user, list available devices, and send execution commands (e.g., open/close shutters). * **Data sent:** User login credentials (email and password), server preference, and device identifiers (URLs). Credentials are sent encrypted via HTTPS. * **Privacy and Terms:** - Somfy Privacy Policy: https://www.somfy.com/en-en/privacy-policy - Somfy Terms and Conditions: https://www.somfypro.co.uk/general-conditions- of-sale ### Source Code & Build Instructions The human-readable source code for this plugin is included in the `src/` directory.

Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **Settings > TaHoma Control** and enter your Somfy credentials. 4.

The plugin currently supports On/Off Plugs, Lights, Roller Shutters, Venetian Blinds, Gates, and Garage Doors. ### I see “Session expired” or “Error” on the button. Check your credentials in the Global Settings. If you have too many blocks polling at once, Somfy might temporarily rate-limit your requests. The plugin uses caching to minimize this risk. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Universal Control for TaHoma” is open source software.
