I have been searching on internet for the last past days but can't find any information.
Is there anyone who has some information about controlling somfy screens with an arduino and a 433Mhz transmitter?
Regards,
Peter

I had some RTS controlled screens installed last week and ordered an additional remote to modify it and attach it to a JeeNode. In order to make the up and down contacts on the remote you need two relais connected to the JeeNode (using two ports). The relais are used to make a dry contact and close the switch of the remote.

I'm hoping to find a solution which uses a normal RF433 transmitter, not a modified somfy remote..
At this moment I am using a arduino to switch kaku and Elro devices... I would like to be able to use the somfy screens also..

Mmm okay... There is a topic where we'd discussed this. Protocol is encrypted, so there was no use with for example rfxcom to change.
