The Somfy SDN 0-10V Interface V2 is a device designed to convert standard 0-10V analog dimming signals into Somfy Digital Network (SDN) or animeo IP commands. It allows third-party lighting control systems to drive motors in 10% increments (0%-100%). This device is plenum-rated and intended for indoor use.

System Requirements
- Set pro by Somfy Configuration Software
- animeo IP Visual Configuration Software
- A fully commissioned standalone SDN or animeo IP project
Connections and Indicators
The device features the following interface elements:

- 0-10V Input & Power: Flying leads for power and 0-10V wiring.
- DIP Switch Bank: Located behind an access door; used for mode selection and group address assignment.
- Push Button: Used for sequencing motor operation, animeo IP discovery, and power cycling.
- SDN Output: RJ45 port supplying SDN bus power and communication.
- Main Power LED: Solid green when powered.
- Bus Activity LED: Blinks green with SDN bus activity.
- Bus Power Switch: Enables +24V bus power to an SDN segment (Left=OFF, Right=ON).
Installation
This device must be installed by a qualified electrician. It utilizes a junction-box-mountable enclosure.

- Ensure the device is powered by AC line voltage.
- Connect the 0-10V input signal inside the junction box using the provided 2 wires.
- Connect the SDN Bus using a standard CAT-5e or higher cable to the RJ45 port.
- Ensure the Bus Power Switch is set correctly (OFF by default).
SDN Mode Configuration
SDN Mode is for standalone operation. To configure:
- Open the DIP switch bank access door.
- Set the Bus Power Switch as required.
- Set Bank A DIP switches to define the control function (Percent Position vs Intermediate Position, SDN Mode Output, Standard vs Reverse Operation).
- Set Bank B DIP switches to define the specific group address (010100 through 01013D).
- Close the access door.
- Press and release the Push Button to test.
animeo IP Mode Configuration
To integrate with animeo IP:
- Open the DIP switch bank access door and configure DIP switches for animeo IP mode (refer to Appendix A).
- In the animeo IP Visual Configuration software, enter Configuration Mode.
- Use the Remote Wizard to discover the device.
- Press and hold the Push Button for 7-30 seconds to initiate discovery.
- Select the device in the software, assign it as a '6 Button Decoflex Keypad Presets - No Eco', and upload the configuration.

Common problems
Verify the Bus Power Switch is set correctly and that the DIP switch settings in Bank A and B match the intended configuration.
Ensure the device is in animeo IP mode via DIP switches and that the Push Button was held for 7-30 seconds to trigger discovery.
Press and hold the Push Button for 30+ seconds until the LED flashes, then release.
Before use
- Verify 120V AC power supply is available.
- Ensure 18AWG 4-conductor cable is used for 0-10V and power inputs.
- Check that the Bus Power Switch is in the correct position (OFF by default).
- Confirm DIP switch settings in Bank A and Bank B match the desired operation mode.
- Ensure CAT-5e or higher cable is used for the SDN bus connection.
Specs in practice
- Input Voltage
- 120V AC 60Hz
- 0-10V Rating
- 24V DC 200mA
Images and diagrams
- Bank A DIP switches control function (Percent/Intermediate position, SDN/animeo mode, Standard/Reverse operation).
- Bank B DIP switches set the specific SDN group address (62 available addresses).
- Wiring pinout for SDN Bus uses TIA-568B standard with RJ-45.
Model compatibility
- Compatible with Encelium wireless control modules.
- Supports standard analog voltages from 0.75V to 9.1V.
- Requires Set pro or animeo IP Visual Configuration software for setup.
