Include an automated but standalone blind (SomFy remote) to HASS #696

Issue

For one of the blind, I see "Graber, Roller and Solar Shades", motorized and came with a remote.

While the remote is nice, operation each day is undoubtedly cumbersome. So want to connect it to the network (and operate via smart home framework, which is out of scope of this ticket).

Determined the necessary components to be obtained.

It's getting complicated than I thought. I asked the dealer we bought saying I thought the remote is made by Somfy, but now I'm looking at the order list again, I don't see SomFy. Closest is "MyLink, Graber". The dealer didn't disagree back then (but no update has been shared since then):

Typically the z-wave compatibility is a different motor, but that technology area is one that changes so fast, there may be a way to integrate the existing motor. I’ll do some digging and get back to you on that.

Now I look at my device, it is the same one as this so am confirming it's SomFy.

Based on the assumption that it's SomFy, which seems to be supportive for Z-Wave, question is which product. They have 3 as of today in Z-Wave lineup. https://www.somfysystems.com/en-us/discover-somfy/power-technology/z-wave
