It’s something that users have been waiting for a while, but it’s finally available: the new Somfy consumption sensor, designed for Linky meters. This small module plugs directly into the TIC socket of the Enedis smart meter and seamlessly integrates into the TaHoma ecosystem in no time at all. The result: everyone can easily visualize their home electricity consumption in real-time, from their smartphone, tablet, or even PC, comfortably seated on the couch.

Real-time data for real savings

No more vague estimates or rough readings! The Somfy consumption sensor displays the instantaneous power in watts, detailed history (by hour, day, month, or year), and even converts kWh into euros. You can also track your monthly budget, so there are no unpleasant surprises at the end of the month. An forgotten bulb in the garage? An old freezer running empty? With just a glance, you can spot peaks in consumption and energy-hungry devices, and take action right away. It’s a bit like having an energy coach at home!

Installation: as easy as pie

No engineering degree is needed to install the sensor. You plug it into the TIC socket of the Linky, enter the contract information in the TaHoma app, and off you go with real-time monitoring, regardless of the electricity supplier. Even those who are typically averse to DIY will manage without breaking a sweat (and for the more cautious, a professional installer can also take care of it).

Home automation scenarios that make a difference

Where Somfy really excels is in automation. The sensor becomes the brain of the connected home: it can trigger intelligent scenarios via TaHoma Switch. For example, the “Smart Charging” mode starts charging electrical devices (phones, computers, electric cars…) during off-peak hours, when electricity is cheaper. Another example: the “Load Shedding” scenario. If the subscribed power is about to be exceeded, the system temporarily cuts off non-essential equipment, like the air conditioning, to avoid a general outage. You can even receive an alert if a device stays on unusually long. Handy for preventing the dryer from running all night.

Compatible with all contracts and suppliers

The Somfy consumption sensor plays nicely with everyone: it works with all electricity suppliers and adapts to the three major types of contracts (Base, Peak Hours/Off-Peak Hours, Tempo). You can even define two distinct periods (winter/summer) to adjust your budget and habits. The TaHoma app offers flexible and clear visualization, ideal for comparing consumption from one month to the next or spotting seasonal peaks.

A few concrete examples…

Imagine: you go on vacation, and thanks to the sensor, you remotely check that nothing is running unnecessarily. Or, you decide to start charging your electric car only at night when the rate is at its lowest. Even better: you schedule the water heater to only run during off-peak hours, while keeping control of the water temperature. And if one evening, you invite the whole neighborhood for a giant raclette, the sensor alerts you before everything trips!

A sweet price for a gadget that pays off big

The Somfy consumption sensor will be available in the second quarter of 2025, priced at €69.90. You’ll find it in the Somfy shop, in major DIY stores, at partner installers… In short, it’s impossible to miss. At that price, it’s likely to become the new must-have for the connected home, especially considering the potential savings on the electricity bill.

Conclusion

The Somfy consumption sensor is a bit like the Swiss Army knife of energy management: simple, clever, compatible with all contracts, and packed with useful features. It integrates perfectly into the TaHoma ecosystem and finally gives you the tools to take concrete action on your consumption. And honestly, who hasn’t dreamed of seeing their electricity bill shrink like snow in the sun?
