- Execute this Tasmota command: RFtxSMFY {"Idx":1,"Id":123,"RollingCode":1} This part does not word and reports unknown command, I guess this is where the problem lies but the bit I don't understand is how the system knows the code of any particular blind? Does it not have to learn the rf code before it can transmit it? Have I missed a step?
Hope you have it working now, to help you understanding, I also provide some info.
- the RFtxSMFY command, which you type I the Tasmota console (not the berry console) is loaded from the script, so when it does not work you need to drill down for causes there.
- as for pairing: the ESP32 acts as a remote, that pairs with the somfy sunshade. The sequence to pair is just like any other (new) remote. It involves two steps:
- Long press prog on your original, already paired remote (sunshade jogs)
- send a prog command from your esp. (sunshade jogs again)
setting up a remote within the ESP32 (you can have multiple) is done with the commands described in te README of this project. In short, the first command sets up a remote with an internal Id (123 in this example), then sending RFtxSMFY with button= 1,2,4,8 acts as if the ESP32 presses stop,up,down,prog for this remote respectively.
You can link n remotes to m sunshades. They do not need to be 1:1.
hope this helps, the readme is quite good, once you understand what needs to be accomplished.

In my project I used a programmable radio, the CC1101. It allows for using the Somfy required 433.42 MHz frequency without changing crystals. I achieved full range successful Somfy shade communication in my dedicated (non Tasmota based) solution using an ESP32. I believe the libraries I used could not be used in Tasmota, because it would occupy the Tasmota loop too long for sending Somfy commands.
My questions are:
See https://github.com/ruedli/SomfyMQTT for my working hardware and code.
