Welcome,
When I bought the roller shutters I wanted to be able to control them from one remote control and this has been achieved. I have a remote from a company called Yooda that can switch specific blinds on and off at specific times. Control them all at the same time and individually.
All my roller shutters have built-in 433MHz receivers and therefore can only be controlled by radio.
However, I would now like to add some intelligence to all of this and control them e.g. when the wind increases, it rains, it gets dark etc.
Is it possible to control my existing roller shutters with a different transmitter than the yooda remote control. If I had bought roller shutters with an electric motor without a radio, I could now control them via relays from the ESP8266 module.
However, I don't want to replace the motors because it's a lot of work, a big cost and I could damage the insulation of the building.
Does anyone know of any other solution how to control these motors cheaply, not from off-the-shelf yooda control panels?
Maybe there are some libraries that can be used to control these roller shutters, for example via a 433MHz CC1101 module. On the other hand, this module could later be used to read e.g. temperatures from third-party sensors as long as the data is not encoded.
Thanks in advance for any tips, also where to look for possible solutions, because I have looked through the net, but probably under the wrong keywords, because nothing interesting apart from home automation companies showed me.
