Hello,
I didn’t find much using the search term "Astro," so I’m starting a new thread here.
We want to install electric shutters in all rooms.
At least in the bedrooms, I want the shutters to automatically open at sunrise.
As far as I know, this is called an "Astro" function.
I have no experience with this and would like to know from you which brands offer reliable products and how exactly these systems (especially the sensor part) work. If possible, I’d also like to know approximately what such a system costs per shutter (excluding installation).
I’m also very interested in hearing about your experiences and what you have installed yourselves.
For GIRA, I have seen there’s some kind of odd antenna that you attach externally to the window.
But such an antenna doesn’t look very nice and will probably fall off eventually (suction cups never held for me).
Also, I don’t want to install a separate antenna for every window.
We are also considering whether it makes sense to equip all other windows with such a sensor or to use a different kind of programming, for example to simulate presence during a vacation.
However, I don’t want to pay any price for this, and I have no idea what additional costs such extra features would cause per shutter.
We do not want to install a bus system, and I hope there are already wireless options available on the market.
The most important thing is the Astro sensor for the bedrooms.
Otherwise, our plan is to connect all shutters in the house centrally in addition to decentralized switches in each room, and to install an additional switch in one place for "raising/lowering all shutters in the house." We do not want a central distribution per floor.
