SOMlink: The service interface for specialist retailers
The SOMlink service interface helps every specialist retailer to install the garage door operators, yard gate operators and barriers from SOMMER even more easily and quickly. The intelligent control technology with integrated data server allows specific adjustments to features and parameters of compatible door and gate operators. Settings are made conveniently via browser on a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
No Internet connection is required, as the SOMlink is equipped with its own web server. A direct connection is established between a WiFi-compatible device and the door or gate operator. This also means that the service interface can be accessed via any common browser and adapts itself perfectly to the installer’s usual working environment.
The fact that the SOMlink has its own web server is also in the interest of data protection, as all settings made are stored not on an external server, but directly on the SOMlink service interface. This ensures long-term use, as you are not tied to an external service provider and their server capacities.
All settings at the touch of a finger
The SOMlink service interface helps not only during initial operation and when changing the settings of our door and gate operators, but also allows you to calibrate their force values and read out system data and diagnostic information.
That means everything, from programming the force values via the safety device right through to visualisation of the force curves, is done conveniently in one place with no need to use several devices. For specialist dealers, this saves time, allowing them to visit more customers on one day.
To allow them to see the wide range of functions and applications of the SOMlink for themselves, we offer specialist dealers a free demo version of the service interface, which can be accessed via this link.
SOMMERsuite and SOMlink
Using our SOMMERsuite PC software, you can keep the firmware of the SOMlink service interface up to date at all times. The program can be downloaded via this link and is available for Microsoft Windows 7 and newer versions.
And by the way, SOMMERsuite doesn’t only work for the SOMlink, but also for our Codemaster+, with which specialist dealers can manage the transmitters for operators and radio receivers.
Once booted, the program does the following:
- It checks whether a firmware update is available for the SOMlink or the Codemaster+
- If an update is available, the SOMMERsuite downloads the update
- The SOMMERsuite then transfers the update to the respective device and updates the firmware

Only specialist retailers can purchase the SOMlink. This is because the SOMlink is used to adjust safety-relevant settings which affect the operation of the door or gate system. Such adjustments may only be made by trained specialists.
