ᐅ Is it possible to operate roller shutters with individual switches and a central timer?

Hello everyone,
I am currently building and have a question about roller shutters.
1) We would like our roller shutters to all open and close simultaneously using a central timer switch (morning and evening), and then be able to operate each roller shutter individually with a switch located directly at each window.
Is this possible with a standard, conventional wiring system? I have heard something about a relay or isolating relay. If this is possible, how would the wiring look?
2) For the individual roller shutters, do you need to install a junction box at each location for the electrical cable, or would a standard flush-mounted box be sufficient?
I would be very grateful for some serious and good advice.
Good luck
Gerd

In the first picture, the separation relays are integrated into the switches.
The setup allows for 1 and 2
to be operated individually, as a group, and as a group together with 3 and 4.
In other words, there are three different modes of operation: individual, floor-level, and central control.

I have no knowledge of electrical work at all, but I still want to share a tip because I experienced this myself.
In our old house, we had these digital astro timers installed on all the roller shutters.
The same programming ensured simultaneous opening and closing. However, there was still an option for manual control.
If this is the system that MyCraft recommends, then I apologize in advance for my pointless comment.

Here, you wouldn’t want to have a timer on every roller shutter to program them individually.
Instead, one timer should control all roller shutters, while the switches/buttons in the rooms operate as usual without timers.Exactly, Mycraft,
I want to control each roller blind locally with the switches to raise and lower them, and only use a single timer to operate all blinds on one floor simultaneously.

Is it where the separation relays go inside the switches?
