Advantages and Disadvantages: Raffstore or Roller Shutters?

was referring to the post by obstlerbaum
I didn't understand why anyone would want to operate exclusively with a switch. To me, it's like casting pearls before swine.

"Pearls before swine" - what are we missing?

Well, I already mentioned that just now.
You have great options to operate the blinds and if you only want to control them with switches, you just leave them aside:

Shading in summer: controllable by a sensor or automatic system. You leave the house in the morning, it suddenly becomes very sunny and warm. The sensor notices this and lowers the blinds. No heating inside. When it becomes shaded again, they go up again. Or in winter – if you want to use the heating, exactly to capture the sun.

Raising the blinds in the morning: You leave the house, you have to press the switch beforehand, otherwise the blinds remain closed all day. But your twilight switch registers at some point that it’s getting light, the blinds go up.

Vacation: through the automatic system the blinds are raised and lowered at times you can specify. Nothing happens at your place during this time. You have chosen a position before you go on vacation, and it stays that way for the next two weeks while you’re away.

Even useful for cleaning: You tell the sensor: please lower in case of rain, windows stay cleaner for longer.

With the Warema control you can even operate selected light sources. Then the actuator does not raise or lower a blind but switches your outdoor light (or staircase light or hallway light or ...) on or off. With freely programmable applications.
Also controllable via app. At first I dismissed the whole thing as nonsense. However, I realize that you actually use it quite often. The twilight switch lowers the blinds, but you still want to see the lighting in the garden, so you quickly press the app and the blinds can be adjusted.

Not to mention the wind sensor. You did not raise the blinds in the morning and a storm comes? They withstand a lot and are stable, but IF then once ...

Personally, I find it like pearls before swine – blinds are still significantly more expensive than normal shutters. And then you can only raise and lower them with a switch?

So I WOULD reconsider it if I were you!

We will be dealing with that soon too....

Sounds very good... where was or is the extra charge for something like this, if I may ask???

What are the alternatives, if I may ask!?

Thanks

The surcharge for what? From "manual" to "automated"? Warema can offer that for you fairly precisely. It also depends on the quantity of products.

Der Aufpreis worauf?

from old-school manual switch to automatic control

Just talk to your window person (or whoever sells and installs the [Raffstore]) and tell them that you would like to control it automatically! The system is from Warema, just like the [Raffstore]. We have never made a price comparison between old school and automated because old school would never have been an option for us.
