Or Shelly 2.5

No one knows it but it is a very likeable little company. (no, not related or connected by marriage :-P )

Shelly uses Wi-Fi as a communication path, correct? I wouldn’t know why I would voluntarily want to put my home control components on such a crowded frequency band. Personally, I would much prefer a control system in the less interference-prone 868.4 MHz band. Preferably via Enocean, as the communication with this protocol is supposed to be among the most stable compared to Zigbee or Z-Wave. For example, there is the NodON Roller Shutter SIN-2-RS-01, which is also compatible with numerous gateways. Add a wireless switch (flush-mounted or access point) and the system runs; even batteryless and thus low maintenance.

Well, it is suitable for a bit of playing around and trying things out. However, if you want something more, you inevitably have to switch to something better.

: It depends - in a concrete house you have little interference from neighbors, and one WLAN access point per floor is cheaper than one Enocean gateway per floor (since you need them anyway). Or do you have a tip for a cheap Enocean gateway? Battery-free doesn’t count for roller shutter control anyway, since power is available at the switch. However, for window sensors, that is an important argument.

I completely agree with you. If you want more than just changing the colors of the room lamps, you should use a comprehensive solution from the start, and in my opinion, you currently can't avoid something wired. For small things like raising/lowering blinds or turning lights on/dimming/off, wireless is more than enough. I wouldn't want to implement complex processes and automations with it.

Edit:
: If you position it properly, an Enocean gateway should be sufficient (e.g., Homee with Enocean Cube), plus depending on the size of the living space and number of floors, one/two/n Eltek Enocean repeaters. If you have some time, you can get yourself a Raspberry Pi with Enocean extension (e.g., EnOcean Pi) for a fraction of the cost of the Homee. Of course, the blind controls are powered via mains anyway. But I find the battery-free access point switches or the various sensors great. With my current Zigbee stuff (fortunately only one Osram switch), I have to replace the battery every few months, which just gets annoying over time.

I don't understand the argument - either the control is stable and reliable (which also works wirelessly), or it isn't. But whether I set up automation via HomeAssistant, openHab, etc., or not, doesn't matter. Unless you mean the one true automation can only be done via KNX. But even there, nowadays you only control via KNX and automate via e.g. openHab, as it's much more flexible.
