Hello,
i am trying to install roller shutters with SOMFY Ilmo motors.
I would like to control them with RCS4 control units manufactured by BISTER.
First question: will these controllers work with this drive? On the controllers' website it is stated that the drive must have an electromechanical switch. I have read on other websites that SOMFA drives have limit switches.
Second question: it seems to me that BISTER is the only manufacturer of this type of control unit available at the moment. What happens in a few years' time when my control unit breaks down and the company is no longer around? From what I have read, a radio control box could then be used, which also allows push-button control. Can you confirm that I am thinking correctly? I wanted to avoid being left with electric roller shutters that won't work.... The layout of the connections will be quite simple - one group switch for everything+control from the alarm+individual control of each roller shutter using the RCS4 controller.
I would also really appreciate any feedback on the quality of the BISTER controllers.
