If it is not possible to purchase the NWD Z-wave motor?
I am wondering if the Dooya DT52E (Zig-bee) motor could be used with the Duwi blind module ?
The first image below shows Dry Contact wiring, could these be wired in to a Z-wave blind control module ?
The second image is the Z-wave duwi module wiring for 230v motors.
In this setup you would have the Dooya RF (Zig-bee) hand held remote control and possibly the Dooya wall controller as well. And then hard wire a Z-wave blind module in to the wall and connect to the DT52E motors dry contact for Home Automation control via Vera.
Any thoughts ?
EDIT: Duwi-Module-Wiring.jpg is from the Duwi user manual i.e. not the Z-wave.me version.
I am currently talking to technical at HC China Limited, hopefully they are working out a HT-100 system / solution for me.
My requirements are:
230V Curtain Motor - Can be hard wired in to the wall / house electrics. (I don’t like the idea of having to plug-in a DC power adapter with cables visible.)
Hand held Remote Control - IR (Infra-Red) preferred, so I can program my Logitech Harmony universal remote controls to open / close curtains.
3rd Party Home Automation Control - Need to be able to wire in the Z-wave blind control module. I will then be able to automate the curtains using VeraLite.
Single curtain track / Center opening curtains / Motor on the left / Wall mount brakets
Optional:
Wall Controller - I may not need a wall controller from them. Because if we can integrate the Z-wave module I can use my existing Z-wave wall controllers to open / close the curtains.
Note: Although there is a HT-100 wall controller with in-built IR. If I use this I will not put a paddle switch cover on the Duwi blind module and would instead hide the Duwi blind module in a back-box inside the wall.

If I don’t get a response again - I will scratch that company… :-X[/quote]
Yeah I get that feeling as well, which is why I am looking at other options again and using a Z-wave blind module.
I think I might settle on the HC China LTD company & HT-100 system. They mainly offer 12V DC motors but they have got a 230V AC motor which I would prefer. It will cost more $ but it will be quieter and I can hide the wires better in the wall.
They have some decent looking IR receivers / wall controllers and remote controls as well. They also have RF remotes. I can buy them locally in the UK, should be fairly easy to wire in the Duwi module. Their guys can speak English and I understand what they are saying and their 2M track
(DC Motor) is only 105 GBP
I have one running and I’m trying to put zwave control in that.
I was speaking about with Shady, but he is out for a time…
my doubt is if the only solution is install 2 evolve lfm-20 controllers ( one for up and one for down) (is a roller shade)
or if exist one controller with the 2 functions…

I am not familiar with the Evolve LFM-20 as I am based in the UK, however it looks to be a simple ON/OFF relay switch. I would think you would need two of them. You might be better using a proper Z-wave blind controller like these ESI ABMHZ modules:
I emailed to Tony in curtaincall. he sold for me the curtain…
back to the subject of evolve…it has a yellow wire… this yellow wire is not the common wire I need to runs the curtain…
I plug the common in yellow and up and down in each blue wire.
if this is not correct, what the function of the yellow wire in lfm-20 ?

I dont think the yellow wire has any function.
The blue wires are used for the relay imo. I think it should state that in the directions it came with.

I think the yellow can send a command to a switch and turn on something.
would be very good if there was a dry contact with a common wire. giving 2 options only changing the contact for a side and another with zwave enable for sure…
The yellow wire Is for adding auxiliary switches, for 3-way and 4-way control. Like in a hallway you can have a switch on either end controlling the same light, same concept but accomplished with a low voltage trigger on the yellow wire.
Although this topic has been silent for a while I’m quite interested if someone found a good solution.
My idea is to use a fibaro roller / shutter to control the track.
I found this quite affordable track on aliexpress but the seller couldn’t tell me if it’s possible to hook up an external controller. This track comes with a wired remote so my guess would be that it should be possible but without the wiring diagram it’s hard to say for sure.
