Integration is the Key

We offer many options for integrating your window treatments with your home automation or building management system.  Even if you don't have a system, but would like to remotely control and monitor your shades from anywhere there is internet access, we offer solutions.

Skyco's Open Communication Protocols

Picture
RS-485 is the most popular method of communication in Automation today.  Crestron, Lutron, and others all use a proprietary (branded) form of RS-485 communication.  Skyco offers an open RS-485 communication standard that allows Skyco motors to be controlled by any and all systems.  It allows communication distances in the 1000's of feet, or using repeaters to go farther.
Picture
RS-232 is still used today and we still support it.  Some of our interfaces offer either RS-232 or RS-485, as do most major Automation systems.  If a system only offers an RS-232 port, we can easily adapt it to RS-485 with a converter.  RS-232 is good for communicating between a distance of 150 feet maximum, so it is best for local connections, not the entire building.
Other control methods that we offer:  Dry Contact Closure, InfraRed, 433MHz Radio, ZWave, Zigbee, and AC Switching
