Setup for blinds

Other Devices & Integrations Garage & Window Covering Control

Hi,
To some of you this may look as someone asking some stupid questions, but I’m just trying to understand a Zwave setup. It’s all new to me.
The picture in attached link is showing how i think it should be. I would like to make the following setup:

[ol][li]Tubular motor + Roller shutter control
→ I’m not sure what to take…a dc or ac motor. Can i just take any motor ?
→ For the shutter control i would like to use the PAN08-1A[/li]
[li]Veralite (attached to my router): to my understanding this must be a powerful controller[/li]
[li]Remote control: when at home, i would like to operatie the blinds with a remote … is that possible? Can I take any zwave remote?[/li]
[li]In the future i would like to have touchscreen that will allow me to operate all attached devices
→ is this a possibility …or just wishful thinking?[/li][/ol]

Is the a “feasible” system?..or just not possible to do. I’m only sure about the veralite, but don’t know about the other devices.
I’m planning to automate 11 blinds.
All info is welcome :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Herman

Personally I think its all possible you want now and in the future.

I have good results with Kallox CL338H
can be bought here: Producten - PaHeDomotica.nl

If you read-between-the lines you can use this project description to automate them with a Fibaro FGS221.

Just to clarify, the shade/shutter motor controllers are for use with “dumb” or standard motors with settable mechanical limit switches (mains voltage). It does not work with motors that already come with a remote control and have an internal radio receiver (their controller is inside the motor). @mcalistair’s suggestion uses a different controller to trigger the dry contact control line (low voltage).

All your answers could be find here,

I bought the RFXCOM from him and then I did my own setup with AC tubular motors from somebody else.

if you go DC, this guy has it all.

100% true… good addition.

For specific motorization projects using z-wave, we offer native tubular motors, drapery tracks, low-voltage and dry contact motor modules, remotes.
