Hello everyone,
we are nearing the completion of the detailed planning phase and the start of construction. I’ve already gone through the whole “I want everything until I want nothing” phase regarding smart home features. By now, I would simply like to be able to operate the roller shutters and blinds via an app.
Here are the requirements:
So far, it looks like only the Gira System 3000 with a Bluetooth module (remote control would then be difficult) is a candidate, or alternatively adding Shelly or flush-mounted actuators (e.g., Bosch, etc.).
I’ve already read and researched pretty much everything about KNX, Loxone, Hager Easy, Homematic, Somfy radio, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and similar systems. Somehow, I seem to be missing something simple or haven’t yet seen a solution that covers the above requirements.
What else is out there, or what would you recommend? Does anyone know the Gira System 3000?
Thanks very much for your experience and advice!

Here are the requirements:
- Wired switches
- Central switch for scenes
- Control via app / possibly also remotely
- Wind sensor is not necessary; I would prefer to control that remotely if needed. At work, this is handled with KNX, but it’s rather unsatisfactory (the shutters keep going up and down, etc.)
- I’m not keen on “old-fashioned” controls like small displays or astro timers

That is completely wrong. Your wind sensor cannot be connected to venetian blinds, etc., via Tahoma. It always needs to be connected directly to the motor.That's correct!

You probably only like the idea. Because I really don’t know anyone who actually follows through after the initial excitement.Well, I do this daily via an app (or sometimes via Alexa).It runs on Homematic for me. Almost all the roller shutters/blinds and a few smart plugs and thermometers. The control unit is a Raspberry Pi with piVCCU.
I’m satisfied so far, but I’m not very familiar with many other systems.

For example, I have the infrared heater in the bathroom connected to an enocean actuator. You can then integrate this into scenes.
