I recently remodeled my house, and for automated shades I chose Somfy over Lutron, primarily due to price, too. But HomeKit compatibility was a must, so I configured my Homebridge server (running on a Raspberry Pi) to fill the gap. All things considered it's all working out great.
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.
