Somfy has introduced a new Q-SYS Verified Plugin that brings native support for its Sonesse PoE (Power over Ethernet) shading motors within the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform. The plugin allows AV integrators to configure, monitor, and control intelligent shading systems directly from Q-SYS Designer Software, simplifying deployment through network-based power and communication.
The new integration helps create smarter commercial spaces by bringing shading, AV, lighting, and environmental controls together on a single platform. It also expands Somfy’s existing Q-SYS ecosystem support, giving integrators greater flexibility when designing IP-based automation solutions for offices, education, hospitality, and other commercial environments.
Somfy, a global leader in motorization and automation for window coverings, today announces its new Q-SYS Verified Plugin supporting PoE (Power over Ethernet) shading solutions. As a contributor to the Q-SYS Ecosystem, Somfy collaborated with Q-SYS to create a market-ready control solution that integrates seamless control 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 seamlessly,” 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.”
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 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.
The plugin is available now in Q-SYS Library.
“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.
