ᐅ Control of Multiple Roller Shutters

Hello, how can I control multiple roller shutters in one room individually but with as few switches as possible, without having to equip the entire house with a smart home system? My home builder sells Homematic products. But apart from the 3 roller shutters in the living and dining area, which I would like to control centrally yet individually and with as few switches as possible, I don’t really need a smart home system right now.

So, simply put, a switch with 3 buttons/toggles: one for up, one for down, and one to cycle through the roller shutters? This switch would be installed in a central location, with all the roller shutters in that room assigned to it?

That can also be handled with conventional electrical work. Ask the electrician.

Okay, thanks, then I’ll ask again. At first, they gave me the impression that they were really trying to push some kind of smart home system for sure.

Use motors with remote control. This way, you can group them however you like without much effort or wiring, which is also easy for beginners.

Exactly, that makes you much more flexible.
For us, it wasn’t any more expensive than if the electrician had installed his outdated timers.

Basically, everything is possible. With conventional electrical systems, you can achieve almost everything that you can with smart home technology or PLCs (programmable logic controllers). The question, of course, is whether the cost-benefit ratio is worth it, or if it’s better to just go with the smart option. There are third-generation Teepao switches available that connect to Wi-Fi, work with Alexa and the Smartlife app, are autonomous, and you only need to buy the switches themselves. They cost about 25€ and work perfectly. Compared to regular switches, they’re not more expensive.
