Five Signature Colours
Choose from five popular, durable and low maintenance Signature Colours. The curtain, full hood and heavy duty brush lined side guides are supplied in your chosen colour for a fully coordinated installation.
Live Two Way Door Status
Unlike a basic one way remote system, the Somfy io homecontrol system provides two way communication between your garage door, the Rollixo Premium io controller and the TaHoma app.
- Check door status: View whether the door is open, closed or in motion using the TaHoma app.
- Operate it remotely: Open or close the door from your compatible smartphone when you are away from home.
- Manage access: Open the door for family members, trusted visitors or deliveries, then confirm that it has closed again.
- Two Somfy io remote handsets: Supplied as standard for convenient operation from your vehicle or driveway.
TaHoma Switch Smart Home Control
The included Somfy TaHoma Switch connects your garage door to your home WiFi network and gives you smartphone control through the TaHoma app. It also has two customisable buttons for launching your preferred smart-home scenes with one touch. [136]
- App control: Monitor and control your garage door from a compatible smartphone or tablet.
- Voice assistant support: Use compatible Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit and Siri setups for voice control.
- Personalised scenes: Create routines such as “Leaving Home” or “Arriving Home” to coordinate compatible smart-home devices.
- Wider compatibility: TaHoma Switch supports Somfy io homecontrol, RTS and Zigbee 3.0 devices, as well as selected compatible partner products. [136][140][142]
Rollixo Premium io Security
The wall mounted Somfy Rollixo Premium io control unit provides advanced operation, safety and security features for the GDO SmartRoll 77 Total Smart.
- Integrated 100dB alarm: Sounds if an attempt is made to forcibly lift the curtain while the door is closed.
- Built in control buttons: Open and close the door directly from the wall mounted controller.
- Courtesy light: Provides useful illumination inside the garage, with an adjustable switch-off duration.
- Holiday mode: Can disable remote controls when activated for additional reassurance while you are away.
- Motor stall detection: Stops operation if excessive resistance or weight is detected. [135][138]
Safety and Auto Close
The GDO SmartRoll 77 Total Smart is fitted with a wired optical safety edge in the bottom weather seal. If the door detects an obstruction while closing, it stops and automatically reverses to help protect people, vehicles and property.
Infrared safety beams are included as standard. These monitor the garage opening during closing and provide the additional safety protection required for smart operation and automated functions.
Once the safety systems have been fitted, aligned and tested correctly, the door can be configured to close automatically after a pre-set period once it has fully opened. This is useful when you want extra reassurance that the garage door is not left open.
Full Hood Included at Every Size
Every GDO SmartRoll 77 Total Smart door includes a full powder coated aluminium box hood as standard, at every available size.
The full hood encloses the curtain roll, steel barrel and operating components, apart from the opening where the curtain enters the guide rails. It creates a smart, premium finish and helps protect the mechanism from weather, dust, wind blown debris and accidental contact.
Strong Insulated Construction
The door uses 77mm deep, double skinned aluminium slats with an insulated foam filled core. The curtain rolls compactly above the opening, providing a robust insulated solution while helping retain useful garage space.
Every GDO SmartRoll 77 Total Smart door is made to measure for your exact garage opening and is supplied with a Somfy tubular motor covered by a five year warranty.
How to Order Your Made to Measure Door
Ordering your GDO SmartRoll 77 Total Smart door is straightforward. Measure your garage opening and select the nearest next size up as an “up to” size from the drop-down menu to set your price band. Next, enter your exact required Over Guide Width (OGW) and Guide Height (GH) in millimetres in the ordering boxes so your door is manufactured for a precise fit.
Choose Your Signature Curtain Colour
The insulated 77mm aluminium curtain is available in five durable, low-maintenance finished colours at no extra cost:
• White (RAL 9016)
• Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016)
• Black (RAL 9005)
• Chartwell Green
• Agate Grey (RAL 7038)
Full Aluminium Box Hood & Side Guide Finishes
A full powder-coated aluminium box hood is included as standard on this flagship model, along with heavy-duty brush-lined side guides. Both are supplied finished in the matching signature colour as standard for a completely coordinated appearance around the structural opening. If you prefer a contrasting combination (such as White guides with an Anthracite Grey curtain), simply select your preference or contact our team when placing your order.
Included Total Smart Control & Security Suite
Every GDO SmartRoll 77 Total Smart door is supplied with a comprehensive 2-way io automation and smart home package straight out of the box:

• Dual Safety Protection System: Bottom slat optical safety edge plus cross threshold photoelectric safety beams for fully compliant, safe smartphone operation and timed auto-close functionality.

• External Low-Level Manual Release: Essential if your garage has no separate pedestrian door, allowing you to disengage and manually wind the door open from the outside during a mains power cut.
Configuring Installation Details
• Installation Position: Choose Behind the Opening (Face Fix) for maximum drive-through width and clearance, or Inbetween the Opening (Reveal Fix) where internal headroom or sideroom is limited. External face fitting is also supported thanks to the standard full box hood.
• Motor & Override Handing: Select left-hand or right-hand side (as viewed from inside the garage) for the Somfy tubular motor, manual override eye, and power connection to match your electrical supply.

GDO SmartRoll 77 Total Smart Installation Guidance & Setup
Fitting the GDO SmartRoll 77 Total Smart roller garage door is a straightforward job for a competent two person installation team. Because your door is purpose made to your exact ordering dimensions, taking time to verify your opening, levels and Wi-Fi coverage before drilling ensures a trouble free fit and smooth smart operation.
1. Pre-Installation Site Checklist
• Floor Level: Ensure the garage floor threshold is completely level across the full opening so the bottom rubber weatherseal compresses evenly and the optical safety edge operates correctly.
• Headroom Allowance: Verify you have 300mm of vertical headroom above the guide height for the 300mm x 300mm steel endplates and full aluminium box hood.
• Side Room (Face Fix): Check you have a minimum 75mm (or 90mm on doors over 3000mm wide) of solid brickwork pier on each side to fix the aluminium side guides.
• Power Supply: Position an unswitched 13 amp fused spur or mains socket within 1.5 metres of the Somfy Rollixo control unit on your chosen motor side.
• Home Wi-Fi: Check that your home Wi-Fi network operates on 2.4 GHz with good signal strength where the TaHoma Switch hub will be located inside the home or garage.
2. Mechanical Door Installation Summary
Step 1 — Assemble Frame & Hood: Insert the steel endplate spigots into the top of each brush lined aluminium side guide channel on a flat floor to form a rigid U-frame. Slide the top and back sections of the aluminium full hood into the endplate channels.
Step 2 — Position and Secure: Lift the assembled frame against the opening. Use a spirit level to check both guides are plumb and the endplates are level across the top. Fasten the guides to the brickwork using appropriate heavy duty fixings at approx 500mm centres.
Step 3 — Mount Motor, Barrel & Brake: Position the Somfy tubular motor into the drive endplate and mount the steel barrel and anti-drop safety brake onto the dummy endplate. Confirm the barrel rotates freely and secure the safety retaining pins.
Step 4 — Feed Curtain & Top Straps: Carefully feed the insulated aluminium curtain down into the side guides. Attach the top slat to the barrel using the heavy duty anti-lift locking straps, spacing them evenly across the barrel.
Step 5 — Mount the Rollixo Panel: Fix the Somfy Rollixo Premium io panel to the internal wall at approx chest height. Connect the motor cable, bottom safety edge transmitter, cross threshold photocell beams and mains power following the included wiring schematic.
Step 6 — Set Limits & Test Alarm: Set the upper and lower motor stop limits. Test the bottom optical safety edge and verify that the built in 100 dB anti-force alarm arms when the curtain is fully closed.
Step 7 — Close Hood Fascia: Clip and fasten the front fascia panel of the aluminium full hood to complete the weather enclosure.
3. Somfy TaHoma Switch Smart Hub Setup
Setting up your TaHoma Switch takes only a few minutes using your smartphone:
Step 1 — Power Up the Hub: Place your TaHoma Switch in a central location within range of your home Wi-Fi router and plug in the supplied Micro USB power cable. The LED status light will flash blue when ready for setup.
Step 2 — Download the TaHoma App: Download the free Somfy TaHoma app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and create or log in to your Somfy account.
Step 3 — Connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: Open the app, select Add TaHoma Switch, accept the Bluetooth pairing prompt, and select your home 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Enter your Wi-Fi password to bring the hub online (the LED light turns solid white).
Step 4 — Pair the Rollixo Premium io Unit: In the TaHoma app, tap Add Equipment, choose Garage Door & Gate, and select Somfy Rollixo io. Press the Prog button on your Rollixo panel for 2 seconds until the indicator flashes, then confirm pairing in the app. The app will immediately establish 2-way communication and display your door's live status.
Step 5 — Configure Voice & Scenarios: Link your Somfy account within the Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Shortcuts apps to enable voice commands. You can also assign the two top physical buttons on the TaHoma Switch to custom scenes such as Leaving Home or Arriving Home.
4. Critical Fitting Tips & Advice
• Wi-Fi Band: The TaHoma Switch requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band. If your router combines 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz into one name, temporarily split the bands or connect via the 2.4 GHz channel during initial setup.
• Auto Close Safety: If activating the timed automatic closing feature in the Rollixo panel, always ensure the included cross threshold photoelectric safety beams are cleanly aligned and tested.
• Manual Override Check: Always test the manual winding handle before handing over the installation to ensure easy manual operation during a power cut.
