Somfy Oximo, Ilmo & ILT Tubular Motor Repair – Specialist workshop for electronic roller shutter motors
 
Your Somfy tubular motor says:
“I was the motor that knew exactly when to stop – thanks to my electronic limit-stop system.”
“At Thomas Reh I learned again how to stop precisely when it matters.”
 
The electronic Somfy motor
The Oximo, Ilmo and ILT motor series belong to the electronically controlled tubular drives with automatic limit-stop detection. They can operate with either freely parameterised fixed limit positions or torque-based stop positions. This ensures quiet, precise and material-protecting operation.
These motors also feature intelligent protection systems such as frost detection and obstacle detection, reliably preventing damage to the roller shutter or the motor itself.
Especially noteworthy is the Somfy ILT – a motor equipped with EIB (European Installation Bus), later known as KNX. This bus system allows integration into complex building automation setups. Since these motors are no longer produced and suitable replacements are expensive or hard to find, repairing them is often the most economical and sustainable solution.
 
Advantages compared to purchasing a new motor
 
 
Sustainable: Environmentally friendly repair instead of replacement – proven technology remains in use.
 
 
Cost-effective: Repair is cheaper than buying new, and no conversion or new control system is required.
 
 
Automatic limit stops: After repair, the electronic limit-stop detection is retained – provided no factory reset was necessary.
 
 
Reliable: Electronics are tested, ensuring smooth operation and precise limit-stop control.
 
 
Compatible: Suitable for roller shutter systems with WT and EIB/KNX control units.
 
 
Also for ILT models: Repair is often possible even when specific replacement parts are required. The higher effort is justified to avoid costly system conversions within an existing EIB/KNX installation.

 
This repair applies to the following fault patterns
 
 
Roller shutter lowers normally but only rises again with manual assistance
 
 
Motor runs, hums or responds with delay
 
 
Noticeable “click” sound during direction change
