As a contributor to the Q-SYS Ecosystem, Somfy collaborated with Q-SYS to create a market-ready control solution that integrates seamless operation of Somfy’s intelligent motors into the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform.

“As commercial spaces become increasingly connected, customers and integrators need solutions that work together in harmony,” says David Parrett, Somfy North American Vice President Partnerships & Specifications. “Our new Q-SYS Verified Plugin for Sonesse® PoE motors reflects Somfy’s commitment to innovation, interoperability, and delivering exceptional experiences through trusted technology partnerships,” he added.

Somfy worked closely with Q-SYS, who has awarded this integration a “Q-SYS Verified” badge (developed with Q-SYS and supported by Somfy and Q-SYS). The Somfy Sonesse PoE Motors Plugin enables integrators to configure, monitor, and control PoE-powered shading systems directly within Q-SYS Designer Software. By leveraging network-based power and communication, the plugin helps simplify system architecture while supporting reliable and consistent performance.

The Sonesse family of motors, including the Sonesse 30 PoE and the Sonesse 40 PoE, are compatible with the new Q-SYS plugin.

The solution also allows integrators to align shading control with AV and environmental systems within a unified platform, improving usability, and delivering a more cohesive experience across commercial environments. This plugin complements Somfy’s existing Q-SYS Verified Plugin for Somfy Connect™ UAI Plus and SDN motors, providing additional flexibility when designing IP-based shading systems alongside AV, lighting, and environmental controls.

“We are proud of our collaboration with Somfy to publish a Q-SYS Verified plugin in Q-SYS Library that will enable elevated experiences for the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform across our shared customers,” says Geno Zaharie, Senior Director, Alliances & Ecosystem, Q-SYS.

The plugin is now available in the Q-SYS Library.
