Did you end up working out your lighting?

Ahh ok. Just to give you a heads up about the wiring, it's not legal to wire it yourself. It has to be done by a registered cabler or someone…

Gutters and downpipe requirements

Hahaha yeah they definitely would be. But by the looks of your thread it might be easier to fix it yourself....

I guess you would just need to keep an eye on the gutter above the alfresco if you do this. In a massive down pour it could potentially back fill.…

Just to clarify, the first motor can also be wired onto the digital output on a wired HA system ie cbus. So realistically you have a lot of different options...

Depends what HA system you are running. I know that somfy has z wave support, once again not sure about whether it is available in aus though

There is also the option to have a somfy wall switch. Its still rts communication but fixed to the wall, only problem is it stands out being a different style.

I looked into this ages ago. Somfy does other wired solutions (admittedly I only found them on US websites) which you can wire into a normal light switch. You just…

Nice! Yeah we took about that between contract and our final drawings. Once you sign off on the fwd they submit to coucil and book in your colour selection.
