- Has anyone connected their Somfy RTS curtains to ESPHome?
- Are there any homekit / Homebridge device that allows me to press the "down" and "up" button on these remotes? Perhaps a devices with "arms" that manually press these buttons?

I use this with a raspberry pi. You can set up scripts or a http call in home assistant to control the blinds

My little homelab
An old raspberry pi 1B was used as a dedicated server for Pi-Somfy which allows me to remote control my awning from homeassistant.

Experience with Somfy blinds and HomeKit?
I have Somfy blinds throughout my house that use the RTS one-way radio control. Rather than spending more on Tahoma box(es) I have a couple of these set up. Works like a charm.

FS1000a transmitter driving me crazy
I'm currently trying to modify a FS1000a transmitter for the Pi-Somfy project which basically allows using a raspberry pi and a cheap modified transmitter to control somfy shutters over a webinterface/mqtt etc. The modification is simply swapping the 433.92MHz oscillator for a 433.42MHz one.

Somfy RTS, Somfy_Remote_Lib, multiple remotes on same ESP+emitter?
I'm thinking about just moving to python+RPI with this project instead, but perhaps I'm missing something obvious.

A single gateway to rule them all
I'm using an RTL-SDR for 433.92 MHz sensor measurements, but it's only a receiver. For Somfy RTS you could use Pi-Somfy with a cheap RF transmitter, but I haven't tried it yet. If you really want a USB transceiver, there's the RFXtrx433E, which has two transceivers: one for 433.92 MHz and one for Somfy RTS (433.42 MHz). It's not cheap, but it works well (I have been using it for my Somfy RTS blinds for years) and is supported by Home Assistant.

A third option would be via a Sonoff RF Bridge: https://github.com/sehaas/yfmos But it's a bit more complicated, since you first have to flash the RF Bridge with Tasmota, then flash the RF chip inside with the "Portisch Firmware" and then configure yfmos.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Pi-Somfy and yfmos you can also consider the following projects:
homebridge-rpi-rts - A Homebridge plugin to control any device with the Somfy RTS technology with a Raspberry Pi connected to a simple 433 MHz transmitter.
