Resetting the End Stops of a Wired Somfy Motor from the Wall Switch

On a wired Somfy motor there is no remote: everything is set from the up/down wall switch, using simultaneous-press sequences that act as a programming "menu".

The double power-cut that returns the motor to setting mode

The "double cut" method means cutting then restoring power to a precise rhythm: cut for 2 seconds, restore for 8 seconds, cut for 2 seconds, restore. The motor then runs for a few seconds: it is back in factory setting mode.

Reprogramming the stops

1. Bring the curtain to the desired top point with the switch.
2. Press up and down simultaneously: the curtain jogs briefly.
3. Lower to the desired bottom point, then repeat the simultaneous press.
4. Confirm by holding the up key until the confirmation movement.

Our field advice

• Always work on a single powered motor at a time
• Note the chosen positions: useful for a future part replacement
• A motor that regularly loses its stops is nearing the end of its electronics' life
