Got a new Awning. Some questions before the plunge.

The Awning has a Somfy remote. I also have the Somfy MyLink app but of course getting control into Indigo would be much preferred.

Found this plugin and want to confirm that I understand correctly.

Is RFX433XL USB the correct device/bridge to order from RFXCOM?

Using the RFXCOM plugin I can then open/close/stop the Awning with Indigo?

Any other plugin/device I could optionally use or is the RFXCOM easiest/best?

Thanks

Personally, I think the Bond is way better. https://bondhome.io

I would only need the plain vanilla Bond Bridge and the Bond Home Plugin?

Probably. I switched to the Bond Pro because it has better range and is powered over POE, so I don't need a wall wart. But the non-Pro also does IR.

I use it for my hurricane shutters, Christmas Tree lights, and multiple ceiling fans.

Thanks. Non-Pro on order. The awning is the only device, for now :wink:
Guess I'll move the Somfy Bridge to my White Elephant box.
