Casambi and Somfy Partner to Advance Intelligent Lighting and Shading Ecosystems
Partnership brings interoperable lighting and shading control for commercial projects, simplifying design, commissioning, and the user experience.
April 13, 2026 — Casambi and Somfy announced a strategic partnership today designed to deliver seamless integration between wireless lighting control systems and motorized shading solutions. No matter the scale, complexity, or control protocol, Casambi makes it simple. Casambi’s LightingOS unifies devices and technologies from its global OEM ecosystem, connecting everything through one powerful, intuitive platform. From luxury hotels to university campuses, retrofits to new builds, Casambi thrives in any environment.
“The integration between Casambi lighting and Somfy shading delivers a simple, elegant, unified solution for complete control of artificial and natural light. By combining Casambi’s wireless 0–10V interface with Somfy’s proprietary Somfy Digital NetworkTM (SDN) motor technology, designers and integrators can offer seamless, app‑based shade automation that pairs beautifully with lighting scenes,” explains Casambi’s General Manager of the Americas, Peter August. “The result is a smoother, smarter, and more connected user experience without the complexity.”
Somfy’s leadership in motorized shading and daylight control complements Casambi’s wireless lighting platform, creating a unified solution that supports automated scenes, daylight harvesting, glare reduction, and energy optimization. Together, the companies aim to reduce system complexity for specifiers and installers while delivering a premium end-user experience.
“The synergy between Somfy and Casambi marks a pivotal evolution in high-performance building design,” says Russell Horowitz, National Specification Manager at Somfy North America. “By uniting world-class automated shading with industry-leading lighting control, we are evolving from standalone systems toward a singular, cohesive ecosystem. This partnership doesn’t just simplify the specification process; it fundamentally enhances the occupant experience, allowing us to master the balance of natural and artificial light with unprecedented precision and ease.”
The partnership is expected to bring meaningful benefits to the building-design and integration community, including simplified specifications, reduced infrastructure requirements, faster installation timelines, and greater flexibility for retrofit and new-construction projects alike. Facility managers and property owners will also gain coordinated automation that supports long-term operational efficiency and occupant wellness.
Both companies see this collaboration as the foundation for continued innovation, with plans to expand integration capabilities and explore future opportunities that advance smart-building ecosystems.
