ᐅ Smart Home Roller Shutter Control Tips

Hello everyone,
as part of our renovation, we want to install electric roller shutters that can be operated with a switch.
My parents have a system that works on a timer—the shutters go down at a set time and come up again in the morning. Basically, that would be enough for me too, but I’m wondering if it might make sense to install timed switches that possibly also have Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing control via smartphone? Does such a thing even exist? Or are there only roller shutter motors that work with Wi-Fi?
Does anyone here have experience with this? Which switches would you recommend? Since we have already ordered the windows including the roller shutters, it seems to me that switches could be an alternative, if such options are available.

There is everything you can imagine (and sometimes even unimaginable). Most systems, however, use different frequencies than Wi-Fi or are wired, as this is more efficient and convenient.

Since you are considering this quite late, you can add wireless actuators behind the switches afterward (e.g., Shelly devices), which can then operate the roller shutters at the desired times.

Which roller shutter motors are you getting, and what switch system is your home builder providing?

I had already given it some thought beforehand and would also be fine with timer-controlled systems.
It was just a thought whether it might be possible with a different switch. It was just a mental exercise... I will look into the radio-controlled modules. Thanks.

You can make any switch remotely controllable afterward, as long as you have L (line) and N (neutral) wires available on site.

Ok, thanks for the information. I will talk to my electrician, who will be on site this afternoon anyway. Thanks

We are currently planning our new build and will be using the Merten (Wiser) control system.
