1. Dissuade burglars by alerting BEFORE a break-in
The Home Alarm detects break-in attempts BEFORE an intrusion thanks to its IntelliTAG™ door and window sensors. This patented sensor analyzes vibrations and alerts (local siren and transmission of smartphone notifications) if a break-in attempt is proven to have occurred.
The IntelliTAG™ technology is very smart since this sensor is able to make the difference between normal events (wind, ball tapping a door…) and real break-in attempts (drill, crowbar…).
2. Finally, live the peace of mind
Home Alarm offers a stress-free daily living. Thanks to the personal key fob, the system reminds you to activate your home protection when you leave and automatically deactivates it when you return home. You receive a notification on your smartphone as soon as your children come home from school (kids feature) and you are able to know any time from the application who is
at home.
3. Customize your solution
Based on your needs, you can complete your Home Alarm system with “Somfy Protect” security accessories sold separately: indoor or outdoor surveillance cameras (to keep a permanent eye on your home), indoor keypad (to make it easier for your children or household help to manage the alarm) , smoke detectors, additional key fobs…

If you want to turn off the Link Essential LEDs but keep your security system up and running, go to: Menu > My Equipment > Link Essential > Indicator Lights and deactivate the option.
With this configuration, the LEDs remain off as long as everything is normal with the security system.
As soon as an anomolie is detected, the LEDs light up again: What do the LED colors mean on the Link Essential?
If your Wi-Fi is unavailable, Somfy Home Alarm Essential still works locally. This means your home will remain protected, and your IntelliTAGs motion sensors will still trigger alerts and sound the alarms. Control via the application and the user presence display are the only things that aren't operational.
You can still activate or deactivate the system through the key fobs or the keypad.
I've activated Somfy Around
The Somfy Around community network ensures encrypted and anonymous transmission of your alerts when your Wi-Fi is unavailable.
This free service is available when one of your neighbors also has Somfy Home Essential, Somfy Home Alarm, Somfy One+ and has activated the service. Your neighbor's equipment then receives an anonymous Somfy Around message and sends it to the Somfy Cloud so the alert reaches its recipient.
Menu > Settings > Somfy Around
The Link Essential's battery guarantees the security of your installation for 24 hours in event of a power outage. You will receive a notification on your smartphone as soon as power is lost.
The Link Essential continues to work locally in the event of a power outage. This means your home will remain protected, and your IntelliTAGs motion sensors will still trigger alerts and sound the alarms. You can change the site's arming status using your key fob or the keypad.
If you've activated Somfy Around or subscribe to the backup connection, intrusion and self-protection alerts will be relayed.
