Somfy RTS or IO ?

I'm planning to buy some screens with somfy, i'm wondering what the best options are.
RTS - currently supported by homey (but there seems to be some problems when you have multiple screens ?)
IO - currently not supported but it's the future replacement of RTS.
none - use a wall switch and buy some fibaro shutter modules.
Anyone got suggestions/tips ?

As far as I know, IO is closed source.
I have also Somfy blinds now and control them over a fibaro roller shutter. This works good and I'm not locked into one vendors home automation.
What did you end up buying?
I am looking for screens and integrating them with Homey. Would be great to read your experience!
Got 2 sunscreens with RTS, works fine with homey.
Never had problems.
RTS is via 433 mhz I assume?
The windows where I want to install the somfy screens are about 10-12m from my homey, no wall in between. Will this work or is it maybe too far? Other solutions?
Other solution would be z-wave.
I found a nice graphic explanation using Fibaro z-wave modules: www.vesternet.com/resources/application-notes/apnt-30
Sounds like the cheapest solution however, I noticed that you are unable to add any wireless sensors (wind sensor) to a non-RTS system.
Still thinking about what's best for me, definitely not the IO due to no Homey support
Anyone got experience with this?? https://apps.athom.com/app/com.somfy.tahoma
Anyone?

Does Homey works with the Connexoon io box from Somfy?
I'm in doubt of buying RTS or IO. But the distance between the rollerblinds is almost 10meters with walls, so I don't know if homey will be able to cover this
Homebridge is compatible with Connexoon
Do you have also io-homecontrol Engines or RTS Engines?
