I've just received my Velux KLF200 to control three Velux windows with electric blinds. I'm planning to use Fibaro relays to activate the programs I've created on the Velux interface, which will definitely do what I want it to do. I'm not a particularly good programmer, but am convinced there's a way to bypass having to use the fibaro relays and send code directly from the Fibaro HC2 to the Velux KLF200 module. The KLF200 module has an IP address on my home network and I've seen elsewhere that you can send instructions to the KLF200 (see below link for instance). https://www.npmjs.com/package/klf-200-api If anyone figures out how to directly communicate between the Fibaro HC2 and the KLF200, I'd be very interested to find out more, or even be pointed in the right direction! It would be great if someone could create a Velux KLF200 Fibaro plugin! As it happens I also have a couple of custom made Somfy controlled blinds for triangular Apex windows. The control box (transformer with RTS control) was so big that I looked for an alternative solution that I could control with my fibaro system. I ended up using a much smaller Somfy transformer, a fibaro 2x1.5kw relay and a couple of electro-mechanical relays to create the logic to reverse the polarity to the two wire 24v Somfy motors. It works perfectly and my builder says he'll be able to hide it away in a cavity.

I've not properly installed my Fibaro Intercom yet, as we're having some building work done. I'll be rather disappointed, if the intercom doesn't end up being able to call your iPhone when someone presses the button. It seem such a huge oversight, especially given the cost of the Fibaro Intercom. Can anyone at Fibaro comment on whether this functionality is being worked on? Surely it must be???

I've started to play with my new Fibaro intercom before I install it under my front porch. When someone presses the main button on the intercom, I get a notification on my apple watch and/or iPhone. I then have to get my iPhone out, unlock it and open the Fibaro Intercom app (either from the notification or the usual way) and wait for it to connect, before being able to answer the intercom. Its a very time consuming process. I'm assuming there must be a better way to answer the intercom? I was expecting that after someone presses the intercom button that I'd be able to answer with one tap of the screen - i.e. just like a phone call or a Skype call etc. Have I missed something in my setup?
