Central control of roller shutters - What solution?

That really helped me a lot. I think I simply didn’t understand it. Now, a bit of light is shed on the matter. But how exactly does it work?

Currently, it looks to me like I have an electric roller shutter and a switch (which is located next to the window). There is just a cable between them. With such a "radio module" from EnOcean, Bosch, etc., I would simply clamp the radio module in between, so switch -> radio module -> cable -> electric roller shutter. Then I can control the radio module from my phone so that I send "up" and "down," and the electric roller shutter thinks someone is operating the switch?

If I want all roller shutters down, I just send “down” to all roller shutters. The central switch then becomes superfluous, so to speak.

And of course, with suitable software, I can also make the radio modules "intelligent"? That is, up every morning at 6:00 am?

Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, exactly like that!
Therefore, in my opinion, this is the most sensible and cost-effective solution for "simple requirements," if you don’t plan to automate the entire house from start to finish with KNX or similar.

Regarding the switches, I also see it as an advantage if they are present.
You don’t necessarily have to have them, and I initially planned to do without them, but in the end, it doesn’t hurt to always have the option of manual operation. Whether someone is sitting next to it and wants to darken quickly, children, guests, or simply no device for control is nearby...

As far as the “system question” of the actuators is concerned, you just have to familiarize yourself a bit and determine your requirements.
For example, expansion options, used frequencies and technologies (Bluetooth, WLAN, EnOcean, Thread…..), usable with or without a "base station," and which system is used for control (Apple iOS or Android).

Are you a nerd, a square, or both? :)

I highlighted ‘organized’ because when there are several remote controls, the argument often comes up “they end up lying around everywhere sooner or later and you look for them.” With us, they have a fixed place and don’t lie around everywhere—even with a child—so they are organized :). Remote controls that are hardly used are organized in storage. That’s probably why we don’t need visible switches for the roller shutters.

As for the "system question" of the actuators, you just have to deal with it a bit and determine the requirements for yourself. For example, expansion options, frequencies and technologies used (Bluetooth, WLAN, EnOcean, Thread.....), usable with or without a "base station," which system is used for control (Apple iOS or Android).

Only Apple devices are used in the house. Currently, there are three Amazon Echo Dots with which we control the lights. In the house, we would also like to control individual lights, but rather prefer to go with the Ikea system. That means there will be a Hue Bridge or Amazon Box (Zigbee) available.

What would be the best solutions from your point of view?

what would now be the best solutions from your point of view?

Using HomeKit! ;) Everything works with Ikea, Hue Bridge, Rademacher, Bosch, Shelly 2.5... etc. The latter integrated directly into HomeKit without any additional "base station".

what would now be, from your point of view, the best solutions?

We also wanted a central roller shutter switch in addition to the switches at the windows. Our electrician wanted to install a Gura system for this and also charged a bit over 1,000 euros. It was nothing spectacular, just a central switch without any frills.

I then searched myself and came across the eltako series 14. We will install these because they are quite flexible. You can integrate all switches (whether wired or wireless) and define individual groups. For this, you just have to connect the roller shutters in star wiring, otherwise it won't work. The electrician wanted 500 euros for this, and including the Eltako actuators, we're also over 1,000 euros, but in return, we get not only one more switch but a complete bus central unit including Enocean radio.

If there is interest, I can write more about the solution here, including the circuit and photos of the experimental board.
