Dayton, N.J. (January 12, 2012) – Somfy Systems, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of motors for interior and exterior window coverings, will unveil the Glydea™ ZigBee® Plug-In Module at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).   The Glydea™ ZigBee® Plug-In Module will provide embedded ZigBee® control of Somfy’s line of Glydea™ drapery motors for integration with third party automation systems.

The Glydea™ ZigBee® plug-in module provides third party automation systems with total drapery control including open, close, stop, and the “My” Position – Somfy’s customizable intermediate position anywhere between fully open and fully closed.
