Welcome,
I am going to assemble a smart home installation for myself and one of the functions is to be electronic control of the roller shutters. I would like to install an electric motor for each roller shutter (e.g. such a http://www.napedy.net/portos-silnik-rurowy-10nm-do-rury-40mm-230v-p-574.html). As this motor needs 230V control, I am going to design a controller with a small microprocessor so that it will be possible to open/close the roller shutters remotely and from a button mounted in the room.
So far I have come up with a circuit like this:
You can see from the schematic that the control of the roller shutters (230V) is done via an optotriac and a triac.
If it makes sense, I would still like to add the ability to stop the motor if the roller shutter encounters an obstacle (as suggested by the increased current flow in the circuit).
Could you advise on how to add such functionality and whether the whole roller shutter controller design is likely to work?
