Hello everyone,
we are currently building our single-family house with a general contractor. In the offer, we have electronic roller shutters and venetian blinds. The offer also includes a switch planned for each roller shutter or each venetian blind. However, we are not quite satisfied because we would have no way to lower all the roller shutters and venetian blinds at once. Currently, I see the following solutions:
1) A central switch per floor (basement, ground floor, upper floor) that lowers all the roller shutters/venetian blinds on that floor. Apparently, according to the electrician, this is complicated to implement and quite expensive (= €1000 per switch + wiring).
2) Each roller shutter/venetian blind gets an actuator (is that the correct term?), which we can control via radio. In other words, everything works with switches, but I have the option to send a radio signal to all the roller shutters so they go down or up.
3) Electric radio drives are used (e.g. Somfy Rs 100 io). Then no switches with wiring to the drives would be needed. However, I would then have radio switches stuck all over the wall. Is that really great?
And then there are surely smart possibilities I haven’t thought of... Can you help me?
