i tried to control the somfy shades with zwave, but didn't work good, now I'm trying it with the somfy app mylink, but i cannot start the app from demopad, any suggestions?
i guess the app does not have a url scheme, is there any way around that?
i tried to talk to the somfy people, but no answer after 4-5 emails.
before i had the same issue with the hydrawise irrigation system, but they answered promptly, said that they fixed it , and it will have an url scheme in the new release of the app.

You can control Somfy from inside the App with your own graphics, the part you require is Somfy RS485 RTS to IP unit. This is not cheap but gives your 16 channels blinds/shades/curtains/lights. You simply connect this to a Global Cache serial device via a 485 to 232 cheap convertor. For the software you need to download the Somfy frame builder software online, this will give you the hex code for each command. Link below

thank you!
would be a lot easier and cheaper to be able to start the somfy app from demopad, but it seems that's not possible.
so this will be the way to go: Somfy RS485 RTS to IP
