ᐅ Centralized and Individual Shutter Control

Hello,
we are starting construction now and I have a question.
I have looked everywhere but haven’t found anything.
We will install an electric roller shutter on every window. For control, I would like to have it set up so that I can operate each shutter manually via a switch, or control all shutters on a floor or several rooms centrally. I do not want it to be wireless or controlled by smartphone. I hope you can help me with this.

Why us? If your electrician calls it that, it is simply a basic circuit control.

This can definitely be implemented using a small control system (for example, a Siemens Logo). Bring all cables from the roller shutter motors to a central point. Do the same for the cables from the switches.

We are also getting electric roller shutters that come with integrated radio motors (company Elero). This allows the windows to be controlled individually or in groups via wireless switches, or, if you prefer, with a smartphone. The additional cost compared to the standard version without radio control is about 280€ per window. It’s important to consider if this is worth it, but I believe it is, as it makes it very easy to create entire scenarios. Additionally, these are features that are not easy to change afterward.

Why don’t you want to use wireless? Then for a central control system, you only have options like a bus system such as KNX or Loxone, which can be quite expensive.

That’s not true. For example, in one room with 4 roller shutters, we have a central control system with an astronomical timer function. It’s a standard installation in a flush-mounted box with an auxiliary input. There are also individual switches at each of the 4 windows. So everything is wired in the traditional way.

Exactly the same for us. We wanted to control the four windows in the living/dining area centrally. We had them wired conventionally to a single location, where an Astro switch is used. Each of the four windows also has a simple control (up/down arrow) directly on it. The electrician recommended a wireless solution several times, but I preferred a wired setup. This still has nothing to do with KNX.
