The “brains” of the TaHomA system. 

The TaHomA controller is the command 

center for all Z-Wave® commands sent 

and received across the system. Since 

Z-Wave features 2-way communication, 

the TaHomA Controller “knows” when 

commands have been properly carried 

out and will display a confirmation 

message.

In multi-gang applications, reducing, 

or “De-rating” a load controlling switch 

or dimmer’s maximum load to ensure 

optimal performance.

Z-Wave terminology for removing a 

device from the TaHomA system and the 

Z-Wave mesh network.

Z-Wave terminology for adding a device 

to the TaHomA system and the Z-Wave 

mesh network.

Network that connects devices within a 

site. Connection to the LAN is indicated 

by the 2nd (middle) LED on the TaHomA 

controller illuminated solid Green.

Amount of power required for lights, 

appliances, and other devices to run. 

Required information during system 

specification. For example: to dim 4 

lamps at 200W each with the same 

dimmer, you need a dimmer that can 

handle 800 watts (NOTE: load should not 

exceed 80%: so in the prior example, 

800W load requires at least a 1000W 

dimmer). 

Z-Wave’s network topology that allows 

signals originating from the TaHomA 

controller to get to their destination by 

“hopping” from one device to another, 

extending signal range beyond standard 

RF limits. 

Often referred to as simply as a “Device,” 

a node represents a Z-Wave device that is 

part of a site’s Z-Wave mesh network.

Somfy’s external server that allows for 

remote access of TaHomA system and 

sends through important software 

updates. Connection to the RAS is 

indicated by the 3rd (right) LED on the 

TaHomA controller illuminated solid 

Green.

Somfy’s proprietary radio technology 

used for its line of RTS motors. RTS motors 

require the use of a ZRTSI to integrate 

them into the TaHomA system.

Used to manually activate Scenes. Does 

not control load. 

Secondary controller used for inclusion/

exclusion when devices are out of direct 

range of the TaHomA controller. Requires 

software available from the TaHomA 

Dealer Support page and only works on 

computers running Windows XP or later.

How much energy is used by a light, 

appliance, or other device.

The ZDMI receives Z-Wave signals and 

converts them to commands for Somfy’s 

line of digital motors. Also provides real-

time motor position status updates. One 

ZDMI required per motor. 

The ZRTSI receives Z-Wave signals and 

converts them to Radio Technology 

Somfy (RTS). The ZRTSI can control up to 

16 channels of RTS motorized products. 

Somfy recommends one ZRTSI within 25 

to 35 feet of the RTS motorized products 

you wish to control.

An interoperable 2-way RF mesh 

networking technology. The backbone of 

the TaHomA system.
