moonlightlady9 May 2012 01:01Hello everyone,
we have purchased an apartment that is currently under construction.
We decided to go with electric roller shutters, but we are unsure about how to operate them (wired or wireless).
So far, no one can give us a clear price, and the electrician recommends wired push-buttons (though I’m not sure if his advice is entirely unbiased).
Does anyone have experience with the cost, durability, and reliability of wireless systems?
Many thanks!
Best regards,

No, rather the opposite, since push buttons (up/down position) and their wiring are more cost-effective.
Very roughly, and this is really just a rough estimate, wireless systems cost about €250.00 more per window than push buttons in the Rhineland (depending on size) plus the control unit; in Bavaria, they are 6 to 8 times more expensive. Provided the system is installed properly and professionally and configured correctly, I am not aware of any issues with interference.
Kind regards

perlenmann10 May 2012 07:13What is the factor of 6-8 actually based on in Bavaria? High export duties abroad?
Regarding the topic: Why use wireless? Do you plan to move the transmitters every few months?

That would be one explanation.
I don’t know why it is like that, but unfortunately, that reflects the reality; in Franz-Josef-Land, things still work differently...
Kind regards

Hello!
Besides the price, there are two reasons against wireless:
- Either the transmitter is installed where it’s always placed (which is rarely the case in a child’s room ), then you could have just used switches, or
- you have to search for it.
The only downside to switches is the appearance: Having about 5 to 10 in a row is not everyone’s preference; at least they don’t require batteries.
