Overview
Velux offers motorized roof windows that use the io-homecontrol wireless protocol.
Integration
Velux KLF 200 Interface
- Acts as a bridge between Velux RF control and TapHome using dry contacts.
- Connect TapHome DO outputs to the KLF 200 inputs.
- Supports up to 5 Velux devices.
Alternative accessories
- KUX 110: 24V power/drive unit for operating Velux motors. For integration with TapHome, it must be combined with the KLF 200.
- KLF 050: Enables control of a single window or blind using a dry contact.
Limitations
- No two-way feedback to TapHome (only one-way control).
- Velux wireless units often include their own controllers, which can limit integration if they are not considered during the planning phase.
Recommendations
- New builds: Choose simple wired motors with end stops for direct control from TapHome.
- Planning phase: Communicate early with the designer or electrician.
- Wireless motors: Use the KLF 200 for integration.
Advanced control via Home Assistant is possible through the KLF 200 API interface but requires a custom implementation.
