Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
Universal Control for TaHoma is a powerful and lightweight WordPress plugin that allows you to integrate your Somfy TaHoma smart home directly into your website. Using the official Overkiz (Somfy) Cloud API, this block provides a seamless way to control lights, plugs, shutters, and gates.
Key Features:
Global Settings: Enter your credentials once in the WordPress Settings and use them across all blocks.
Smart Status Tracking: Real-time device status (On/Off, Position %) displayed directly on the button.
Smart Toggle Mode: Intelligent switching that knows whether to send “Open” or “Close” based on current state.
Performance First: Built-in session caching (Transient API) to prevent rate-limiting and IP bans from Somfy servers.
Multi-server Support: Works with standard TaHomalink and European Overkiz HA1 servers.
Privacy & Security: Communication is handled server-side. Your credentials are never exposed to the frontend.
External services

Service: Somfy TaHoma Cloud (Overkiz API)
Usage: Used to authenticate the user, list available devices, and send execution commands (e.g., open/close shutters).
