Installation

Requirements

• Use a somfy dedicated user for homeassistant.
• This dedicated user must be declared as a owner, not a child.
• HA MQTT integration must be reconfigure with MQTT Discovery.
• In the config file, check that you have set the name of your house. (The one define in the Somfy App.)

sites:
  - Maison

Easy Mode (via HomeAssistant Supervisor)

In HomeAssistant, go to Supervisor > Add-on Store > Repositories Add this repo: https://github.com/minims/homeassistant-addons/

Configure it with you credentials Then all Devices will appaears in MQTT integration

Easy Mode (Running in Docker Container)

Add docker container docker run -v <PATH-TO-CONFIG-FOLDER>:/config minims/somfyprotect2mqtt

Add config to <PATH-TO-CONFIG-FOLDER>

Manual Mode

Clone the repo Go to dev branch

cd /opt/
git clone https://github.com/Minims/SomfyProtect2MQTT.git
git checkout dev # if you want the dev branch
cd /opt/SomfyProtect2MQTT/

Install Python3 dependencies

pip3 install -r  somfyProtect2Mqtt/requirements.txt

Copy config file and setup your own credentials for SomfyProtect & MQTT.

cd /opt/SomfyProtect2MQTT/somfyProtect2Mqtt
cp config/config.yaml.example config/config.yaml

Running

cd SomfyProtect2MQTT/somfyProtect2Mqtt
python3 main.py

Video Streaming

1. MQTT Camera Currently, Somfy does not provide a permanent streaming URL. This is a On-Demand stream, and the stream is live for about 120s.

To start the stream you need:

• To open the cover via the entity switch.***_shutter_state in the Camera Device.
• To switch the stream ON via the entity switch.***_stream in the Camera Device.

Here is a basic lovelace card to see your camera with bother shutter & stream button

camera_view: auto
type: picture-glance
entities:
  - entity: switch.indoor_camera_shutter_state
    icon: mdi:window-shutter-settings
  - entity: switch.indoor_camera_stream
    icon: mdi:play-pause
camera_image: camera.indoor_camera_snapshot
title: Indoor Camera

2. go2rtc / WebRTC Camera

Copy file config/echo/somfy.sh in HA in /config/echo/somfy.sh

• Install HA Addon go2rtc: https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc
• Install HACS WebRTC Camera: https://github.com/AlexxIT/WebRTC

Configure go2rtc:

streams:
  somfy_indoor_camera_echo:
    - echo:/config/echo/somfy.sh <camera device_id>

Add WebRTC Camera Card

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: somfy_indoor_camera_echo
shortcuts:
  services:
    - name: Cover
      icon: mdi:window-shutter
      service: switch.toggle
      service_data:
        entity_id: switch.indoor_camera_shutter_state
    - name: Stream
      icon: mdi:play-pause
      service: switch.toggle
      service_data:
        entity_id: switch.indoor_camera_stream
style: >-
  .shortcuts {left: 450px; top: 25px; right: unset; display: flex;
  flex-direction: column; gap: 10px}

Systemd (Running in background on boot)

5. (Optional) Running as a daemon with systemctl

To run SomfyProtect2MQTT as daemon (in background) and start it automatically on boot we will run SomfyProtect2MQTT with systemctl.

# Create a systemctl configuration file for SomfyProtect2MQTT
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/somfyProtect2mqtt.service

Add the following to this file:

[Unit]
Description=somfyProtect2mqtt
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/SomfyProtect2MQTT/somfyProtect2Mqtt
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /opt/SomfyProtect2MQTT/somfyProtect2Mqtt/main.py
StandardOutput=inherit
# Or use StandardOutput=null if you don't want SomfyProtect2MQTT messages filling syslog, for more options see systemd.exec(5)
StandardError=inherit
Restart=always
User=pi

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save the file and exit.

Verify that the configuration works:

# Start SomfyProtect2MQTT
sudo systemctl start somfyProtect2mqtt

# Show status
systemctl status somfyProtect2mqtt.service

Now that everything works, we want systemctl to start SomfyProtect2MQTT automatically on boot, this can be done by executing:

sudo systemctl enable somfyProtect2mqtt.service

Done! 😃

Some tips that can be handy later:

# Stopping SomfyProtect2MQTT
sudo systemctl stop somfyProtect2mqtt

# Starting SomfyProtect2MQTT
sudo systemctl start somfyProtect2mqtt

# View the log of SomfyProtect2MQTT
sudo journalctl -u somfyProtect2mqtt.service -f

Developement

This code is base on reverse engineering of the Android Mobile App.

• https://apkgk.com/APK-Downloader?package=com.myfox.android.mss
• Decompilation : https://github.com/google/enjarify

python3 -O -m enjarify.main ../com-myfox-android-mss1610600400.apk
ls
com-myfox-android-mss1610600400-enjarify.jar

• Open JAR and Get Java Code (JD-UI) : https://github.com/java-decompiler/jd-gui/releases

So if you want to contribue, have knowledge in JAVA / APK, you can help to find all API calls used in the APP. We can integrate here (https://github.com/Minims/somfy-protect-api) to use it.

• Use APKTool to get smali files and all available API Endpoints
