Which shape for the venetian blinds?

Yes, some. You can find them on the Roma website with one click. Or you take the simple drives and connect them to a system of your choice, e.g. Shellys or a "real" system like KNX.

Here I just wanted to know how Hangman solved it. I am referring to the Somfy solution and wanted to lazily ask if it is any good. I will open a thread about this. I would like to map as much as possible with Apple's HomeKit.

Roma does not do that themselves, because at least a weather station or another source for sun positions or weather in general is needed. With tricks, this can also be done based on the geoposition via calculations or web services, but "real" sun data is rather the correct way. Such things are usually handled by a smart home system. Roma does not have its own system like Warema.

Interesting, I did not know that Warema is so far ahead of Roma here, even though it has "felt" like decades at Warema. Control I deliberately left out here (since it's simply logical), although I'm not sure if a weather station is strictly necessary (unless Warema requires one for the control to make more money), because I think that is just programming (altitude above sea level, house orientation, etc.) and then it practically runs "time-controlled." What would be needed, however, are motors that can adjust precisely by angle, and here I am also not sure if the standard motors at Roma can do that.

Um, ahem, our cleaning routine currently is to close those things during heavy rain and trust in the power of nature ;) So far that's enough, especially since they are usually up anyway (we've only lived in the house for a year). Two months ago, I tried wiping the closed slats on one window, but you have to be gentle because they're obviously not as sturdy as roller shutter armor. There's still the overlap – for a spotless perfect result, you probably should use some kind of brush attachment on the garden hose or something similar.

We don't have a smart home, but the house builder was kind enough to equip them with radio motors and gift us a Somfy Tahoma box with three light sensors and wind guards. The blinds themselves can be finely adjusted, so a tracking system is probably possible (at least with our motors). I haven't started it up yet because we haven't missed it so far: in summer, it's enough to set the slats horizontally (the sun is high), and now I might need to tilt them down three or four notches. This can be set as a default with just one button press, which is about a hundred times faster than some ‘smart automation.’

Thanks for your reply! That was quicker than my last reply.

Okay, I have to get into that, I take your statement about “finely adjusted” positively; you should actually be able to work with that! Such automatic tracking is something nice, especially when the hardware already provides the prerequisites and it might even be realizable quite cost-effectively :cool:.

One year also means one season of pollen, which doesn't sound bad in terms of cleaning ;) What color were your blinds again? Can you maybe say something about your dark color?

Can you maybe say something more about your dark color?

In terms of style, they fit the object better, especially if you now have 7016 (anthracite) windows, I didn't like the silver ones, they have this office character, dark attracts a bit more dirt and heats up more :-), but I don't care since we also have an active-passive cooling.

And how do you clean your blinds?

And what do you mean by heating up more? Do you feel that inside when the windows are closed :eek:? Have you integrated them into any smart home solution?

We have RAL7015 (a shade lighter than the usual 7016 anthracite) window frames. Other details (fall protection, balcony railing and cladding) are also done in this color. For the windows, we deliberately chose natural aluminum window sills and gray-aluminum blinds. On the one hand, I found a completely dark design too gloomy, on the other hand, there are practical reasons (heating, dirt, reflection).

Contrary to my own fears about whether it would look too mixed up, I am simply thrilled and would definitely do it this way again. The gray-aluminum works great and blends in visually very well. For your information, we have a pure white plaster facade.

Okayyyy, that really sounds like a very crazy play of colors :). Can you take a picture of a window (maybe also in a way that you can see the [Raffstore] too :)
