What should be considered when buying roller shutters to use them smartly?

Hello,

what should one pay attention to when buying new electric roller shutters to be able to control them easily and intelligently / smartly, e.g. via daylight routines, etc.

The roller shutters will be installed afterwards on the terrace and on a second side of the house as external roller shutters.

The roller shutter is just a "dumb" motor that knows "up" and "down." It becomes intelligent through a superior automation.

So just install any standard electric roller shutter and then control it, for example, via a Shelly?

Shelly, KNX, Free@Home from Busch Jäger, Bosch Smart Home, Homematic... doesn't matter.

Shelly is probably not for beginners and people who have nothing to do with programming if they want to do without the not particularly secure cloud... and whether you want to put your data in the cloud of a Bulgarian company, we'll leave that open.

KNX and Free@Home are relatively costly and must be implemented during shell construction. And implemented properly, which is why a professional should plan it.

Etc.

And of course also a note for you that electrical installation may only be carried out by a specialist. If you are not a specialist, you are not allowed to install a Shelly and strictly speaking, you are not even allowed to connect your cooktop.

Thank you for the explanations. I am an IT guy, so I can still connect a Shelly :). But I basically stay away from ovens or high-voltage power in general. The roller shutters will also be installed together with new windows by a qualified professional.

Just the mention of high voltage shows me that you have no idea, sorry. In a flush-mounted box with a 5x1.5 cable, you have just as much chance of being exposed to 400V as with the cooktop. The current flowing through the body depends on the resistance, not on the thickness of the cable.

The internal resistance of the driving network or the driving source is interesting for other things, such as tripping fuses or the intensity of the arc that is drawn. For current flow through the body at about 1kOhm hand to foot, it does not matter whether you touch the house connection box, with 0.2 Ohm to the transformer, or the flush-mounted box on the upper floor with 1.6 Ohm.
