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.

We are also getting electric roller shutters, but these will have radio motors installed (company Elero). This way, the windows can be controlled individually or in groups via wireless switches, or even via smartphone if you want. The additional cost compared to the standard version without wireless control is about 280€ per window. You need to decide if it’s worth it for you, but I think it is, because it makes it very easy to create whole scenarios. Besides, these are things you can’t just change afterwards.Do I understand correctly that it’s 280€ EXTRA per window compared to conventional electric drives???
That would be almost 3,000€ for 10 windows on top of the base costs that already come with electric control? You can achieve this more cheaply even with KNX... That would be daylight robbery.
Sascha aus H7 Feb 2017 23:53This matches the costs offered to me for Somfy with the TaHoma Box, slightly less per window since I have a few more.
Regarding the solutions here that were wired centrally: KNX was only meant as an example of wired systems that need to be connected centrally to a control unit. There are numerous other examples, such as Digitalstrom, which operates solely over the standard power line.

Our blinds can be controlled individually.
Additionally, we have a central switch on each floor that operates the blinds based on sunlight, astronomical timers, programmed schedules, or manually. As mentioned before, wiring was run through and connected to a central point for this purpose.
Both central switches (ground floor and upper floor) cost us about €1,350 more. It wasn’t cheap, but we didn’t want to use radio control either.

We installed wireless motors (Somfy) throughout the entire house, which did not cost extra compared to the standard wiring inside the window reveals. This is because the costs for switches and wiring are eliminated. I also didn’t want a central switch panel with batteries somewhere in the living room, as some friends of ours have (instead of one switch per window reveal). The option to connect all the roller shutters to a single switch (linked to an astronomical timer or time switch) would, of course, have been possible as well.
I can recommend "Homematic." The roller shutter switch (up/down) costs about 60 euros. It can be operated manually as well as wirelessly. "Wirelessly" means it can be controlled via a central switch, an app, or automated (timers, astronomical clock, etc.).
You can also combine the roller shutters with other actuators. For example, using a door sensor to prevent the roller shutters from closing automatically if the patio door is open.
If a tubular motor breaks, it can be replaced easily and inexpensively. You are not tied to a wireless tubular motor from a single manufacturer.
We have a roller shutter switch at every window. In addition, there is a 6-button switch that can raise or lower all the roller shutters at once.

All the external blinds have wireless motors installed and are operated with wireless switches.
Additionally, I have a remote control that allows me to save 5 different scenarios.
I find it very convenient.
