    I have 12 roller blinds controlled on reflecting buttons (they told me to put on radio control).
    Now I'm thinking about building something on eg domoticz or similar optimally open source and even more optimally php (I know quite well), put some arduino or something like that - which is now reasonable for such a solution (installing linux wifi)?
    Question 1 - blinds control - which drivers should be bought to connect them to something computer controlled, e.g .:
    http://www.dipol.com.pl/zestaw_sterowania_bez...olet_rzb-03_rnk-02_srp-02_exta_free_F5012.htm
    https://www.napad.pl/produkty-321-1884-miniaturowy-sterownik-radiowy-do-rolet-stm-3844.htm
    Anything I watch is dedicated to remote controls - is there anything adapted to the microcomputer combination?
    Or any other, e.g. here I found wifi switches: https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-wifi-wireless-switch.html 5 $ - I don't know if it can control the blinds - but if I connected it to the blinds buttons - would that be a bad solution? Currently, I press 5 buttons and the blinds are going - so what's the difference, do I do it or such a wifi driver? And will such a driver work with domoticz?

    From what I read everywhere, I can't control the blinds by connecting them - I have a room with 5 blinds (such a terrace - now it has 5, ultimately 8 blinds and 8 buttons) to control it could be, for example, 2-3 blinds together, if it possible.

    Which roller blind drivers will work more easily with domoticz or similar?

    I am testing Ehouse with Domoticz. There is roller shutter support there with 2 outputs,
    I have blinds wired (technically just like you connected to the switches) but you can also through WiFi drivers as you need wirelessly. It is possible to fully close / open and move for a certain time (from the slider).

    The service is described Here

    BTW: Are there any nice GUI overlays for Domoticz ???

    In general, everything that is controlled RF433 can be controlled via WiFi via Broadlink RM PRO.
    I am currently testing a set of RF433 + broadlink + smartphone lighting switches and it works smoothly.
    Next, I plan to add a raspberry Pi zero with domoticz (or something else?) And a switch for roller blinds, e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ASEER-Wall-Switch-Smart-Home-Wireless-Electronic-Curtain- Switch-100W-RF-433 MHz-fi-Wall-Switch-Control / 32705295348.html

    This Broadlink looks encouraging - does such elmes-stm - work without a combination - someone tested such a connection (do I need a remote control to teach Broadlink how to control elmes-stm or does it have a built-in code for it? (They write that the remote control and drivers by remote control they are protected by Keeloq(R) variable coding system. "- is that not a problem?)

    Hello

    Were you able to confirm whether Broadlink will work with the Elmes driver ??

    Hello, I am in the process of designing for one guest the control of blinds in the most comfortable way in my opinion, i.e. smartphone. I build modules for him that he can put in the installation box of the buttons (it must be deep, otherwise you need to hide the module in the roller blind). The number of modules is unlimited - they communicate with each other.
    Capabilities:
    - opening and closing each roller blind to the required position or fully using the smartphone application, not some radio remote controls that you never know where they are ...
    - central closing or opening of all blinds at the same time.
    - the modules communicate with any router via WIFI, which has access to the Internet, we communicate with our modules via the chumra - what does it mean? We are not interested in problems with the fixed or external IP address of our internet and we can control our blinds from anywhere in the world where our smartphone has access to the internet.
    - the option extra, the client wanted the module to be able to also measure the temperature because if he assembles them in cans in the rooms, he will immediately have the temperature on the smartphone from any room that interests him in this respect. What's the best of it all ?? - PRICE which is about PLN 50 for the module + PLN 5, possibly temperature sensor

    Oh, and of course the module is a fully comprehensive device that supports the blind also does not require any additional blind relays, etc.

    Hello

    omnixcrs, how about this roller shutter driver project? Managed to?
    50 PLN / pcs. is the price not high enough, can it be tied up with Domoticz, apart from other control options?

    hello, the prototype was made - it's nice. I am waiting for professional pcb from the supplier. I implement software on the Blynk application, but if a domoticz talks with ESP (I don't know domoticz) it should work

    I have broadlink. Will the device work with such blinds regulator, where broadlink is behind the wall, since it is on rf433?
    Can the blind be opened / closed by touching the buttons on the panel? Or maybe only with the remote control?

    For 104€ you can buy yourself from eBay de. Something called yooda in Poland (for about PLN 1000, and it's the same device!) and works with the yooda app

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around controlling 12 roller blinds using Domoticz, Arduino, and radio control. Users are exploring various driver options for integrating blinds with computer control, particularly through WiFi and RF433 technology. Suggestions include using Broadlink RM PRO for RF433 control and various miniaturized RF controllers like Elmes STM and other WiFi switches. There are inquiries about compatibility between Broadlink and Elmes drivers, as well as the feasibility of using smartphone applications for blind control. Some users are developing custom modules for enhanced control, allowing for individual and centralized operation of the blinds via the internet. The conversation also touches on the potential for using ESP modules with Domoticz for seamless integration.
