Today, I wanted to list and order our electrical equipment and was a bit surprised that a rocker switch I wanted is not available for purchase 😳

The specialist dealer was not aware of such a switch, and according to Gira, they definitely do not have this type in their current product range.

I am looking for a rocker switch that has a single-pole normally closed contact both at the top and at the bottom—so two separate normally closed contacts. Double rocker switches or double push-buttons are available but are not what I want.

Like in the picture below (showing a rocker for a switch), I would like a single rocker with two normally closed contacts (top/bottom).

Are there any other manufacturers who currently make such switches, with a similar appearance and price range as the Gira 55 pure white glossy?

If applicable, use the Gira rocker switch together with a multiway relay in the sub-distribution board.

Doesn’t a roller shutter/blind switch handle that? Otherwise, I agree with what Hampshire says.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately this is not the solution (or I didn’t understand it 😉). The push buttons are connected directly (via a relay wiring setup) to the input of a Controllino Max. A momentary contact switch (only for non-dimmable lamps) would also be controlled through this. This rocker switch is intended to control individual venetian blinds up/down, and that would be our preferred solution (mainly for aesthetic reasons).

There is no simple roller shutter/blind switch from Gira (only regular switches), push buttons only come in double versions.

Gira only offers this solution for standard venetian blinds or shutters

And what exactly is wrong with that?
The switch has two positions, both turn on, with a lock to prevent simultaneous activation.
