ᐅ Blind Control System for New Construction (Multiple Units per Switch Box)

Hello and good evening!
I am currently planning the electrical installation for our new build. Initially, we did not plan to install any smart home/KNX system.
However, I am now facing an issue due to limited space for the switch layout in the living room. At the living room entrance (kitchen, dining area, and sofa area), the controls for lighting, heating, and blinds all need to be combined on a narrow wall. I would prefer not to have two vertical switch frames side by side, either with four or five switches each.
In total, there are 5 roller shutter units, 1 heating control, and at least 4 lighting circuits to manage. Additionally, there might be some switched power outlets.
The electrical installation in the house will be executed as a star wiring system.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a solution?
Best regards from northern Germany,
Thomas

The electrician won’t be too happy about that, since those simple room temperature controllers for a single-family house usually mean around €2000 in revenue for him.
Use room controllers with temperature sensors. Run KNX wiring and one power line into the heating control valve (HKV) and retrofit the system if you really want it. The heating technician can also keep the actuator motors.
