Hello,
First of all, we consciously decided against a full smart home system but would like to be able to control some of our electric roller shutters via smartphone or voice commands. (It was a cost issue, and our general contractor didn’t really have the expertise for it.) I came across the Shelly 2.5 devices.
Are they recommended? Are there better alternatives in the same price range?
Is there anything to consider with traditionally wired roller shutters that have switches at the room entrance? Since our shell construction is still in progress, we could still take some things into account if necessary.
Thanks for any information.

What about the Shelly Switch 1? At least the Shelly fits inside the junction box then... I don’t understand the context here either 🙄

barfly6664 Nov 2021 22:57Shelly also sells switches (called switch 1), meaning push buttons, single, double, and quadruple, with a slot for a Shelly 2.5 or 1L module... just try googling Shelly switch 1... phew :-/

You mean the WALL Switch! I don’t really see the advantage, and the switches aren’t exactly the most attractive.
Maybe interesting for old buildings, but for new construction I would always go with the deep wall boxes.

Stefan0015 Nov 2021 07:41The wall switches are not available yet, right? From what I have seen, they are currently on "pre order."
Then there is the question of integration into the existing switch system. While it might still be an acceptable solution where you have individual roller shutter switches, it becomes difficult or incompatible, especially in a multi-gang row.

If there are such high demands on the switches for a "new build," then you shouldn’t opt for the cheapest Shelly devices; they are more suitable for older buildings...
I'm out of here, good luck with your project.
