Ensuring home safety with TaHoma, Philips Hue, and smart blinds

Would you like to make your home safer during the darker months without investing in an alarm system? With Somfy's TaHoma, you can control and automate your lights, such as Philips Hue, along with other smart devices like shutters and curtains. This makes your home appear occupied, even when you're not there. For many, it's the ideal solution for increasing safety without the hassle of a full alarm installation.

The long nights of winter call for additional security measures. TaHoma provides a solution that combines convenience, security, and flexibility. Thanks to smart scenarios, you can operate lights, shutters, and blinds exactly how you want – whether you're at home or away.

TaHoma and Philips Hue: a secure home, no alarm required

Not everyone feels comfortable with an alarm system, yet a sense of safety is crucial. The collaboration between Somfy TaHoma and Philips Hue is the answer. With the TaHoma app, you can easily set up scenarios where lights, curtains, and shutters switch on and off at specific times. This creates the impression of an occupied home, deterring unwanted visitors. The beauty of it is that you can interrupt these scenarios at any time when you're home – full control without being tied to an alarm system.

Smart scenarios for a perfectly lived-in look

The versatile TaHoma app lets you fully automate Philips Hue lamps, electric curtains, and shutters – all from the same app or even via voice control. Here are some suggestions for scenarios:

• Presence simulation: have lights, curtains, or shutters operate at varying times automatically. Choose a random order for a realistic lived-in look, especially useful during holidays or evenings when you're away.
• Advanced security scenario: link a motion sensor or camera to your lighting and blinds, so they activate when movement is detected around your home. This deters potential intruders without the need for alarm sounds.
• Flexibility for when you're home: even with pre-set scenarios, you can pause them at any time. If you’re unexpectedly home or want to dim the lights, you can easily interrupt the scenario and resume it when you leave.

With these smart automations, you can leave home with peace of mind, knowing your house always appears occupied. Plus, TaHoma supports almost 300 other partner devices, enabling you to add smart security equipment like Somfy outdoor cameras and smoke detectors..
