Steps

  1. Confirm the installed TaHoma hardware model first; Somfy's documented local API Developer Mode is only supported on TaHoma Switch, TaHoma Premium, and TaHoma DINRail gateways, not all TaHoma products
  2. Enable Developer Mode on the gateway (documented multi-tap-on-PIN activation) and generate a local API token from the Developer Mode menu
  3. Reference the official OpenAPI 3.0 spec published at the Somfy-Developer GitHub repo/GitHub Pages site for the exact local endpoints and authentication flow, rather than assuming a cloud-hosted public API exists
  4. Test device availability status carefully; there are open, acknowledged bugs where the local API reports an io-homecontrol device as unavailable even though it's functioning, so don't treat the API's available flag as ground truth without a manual check
  5. For integrations needing broader platform reach (Crestron/Control4/Elan-class systems), check current Somfy Synergy/partner-integration documentation rather than the consumer local API, since these are separate programs
