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...

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. 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 would like some photos of this prototype.

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?

Hello, is it possible to get more information? How does this project look like to implement it?

Are you writing about broadlink?

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?

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.

Generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: Planning 12 blinds? One maker says, "The number of modules is unlimited," and DIY Wi‑Fi modules cost about PLN 50. [Elektroda, omnixcrs, post #17645318]

Why it matters: This FAQ shows how to pick drivers, bridges, and Wi‑Fi options that work with Domoticz, Arduino/ESP, and RF433—without guesswork, for homeowners wiring multiple blinds.

Quick Facts

Domoticz + eHouse supports shutters with two outputs, full open/close, and time-based sliding control. [Elektroda, marclo, post #16905102]
RF433 gear can be driven over Wi‑Fi via Broadlink RM Pro; users report smooth operation with switches. [Elektroda, swieka85, post #16923431]
Typical RF433 curtain panels are around 100 W rated (example linked by users). [Elektroda, swieka85, post #16923431]
DIY Wi‑Fi shutter modules were quoted at ~PLN 50 each (+~PLN 5 for a temperature sensor). [Elektroda, omnixcrs, post #17645318]
A “Smart Home Box” for Nobily/Yooda motors was found at ~€104 and works with the Yooda app. [Elektroda, mikel24081, post #21229876]

What are my main options to control 12 wired roller blinds with Domoticz?

Use eHouse with Domoticz for native shutter support (two outputs per blind, slider timing). Or add Wi‑Fi/RF bridges for wireless panels. Users also explore DIY ESP modules for per‑blind control and central scenes. Match your wiring and pick interlocked outputs for up/down. [Elektroda, marclo, post #16905102]

Can Broadlink RM Pro control RF433 blind switches?

Yes, users report controlling RF433 devices over Wi‑Fi using Broadlink RM Pro. They tested lighting switches and planned to add an RF433 curtain panel, noting smooth operation. Treat this as a bridge between your network and RF433 wall modules. [Elektroda, swieka85, post #16923431]

Will Broadlink still work if it’s behind a wall?

Range depends on placement and building materials. A user specifically asked whether Broadlink behind a wall would still operate an RF433 regulator, highlighting placement as a concern. Position the hub centrally and test before final mounting. [Elektroda, gruniu, post #17800458]

Do I need a remote to teach Broadlink codes for Elmes STM (KeeLoq rolling code)?

The thread raised this question and noted KeeLoq variable coding, but no one confirmed a working pairing. The original poster later said they did not check the Broadlink–Elmes combination, so compatibility remained unresolved. [Elektroda, grekpg, post #17614319]

Which drivers or Wi‑Fi switches did people consider for computer control?

The starter list included dedicated shutter drivers (RZB‑03 kits, STM‑3844) and low‑cost Sonoff Wi‑Fi switches. The idea was to wire them like existing buttons, then integrate with Domoticz. Always ensure up/down interlock when substituting wall controls. [Elektroda, grekpg, post #16903592]

Can I group blinds so two or three move together in one room?

Yes. One DIY Wi‑Fi approach supports central open/close for all blinds and per‑blind positioning via a smartphone app. The designer emphasized unlimited module count for larger installs. “The number of modules is unlimited.” [Elektroda, omnixcrs, post #17645318]

How do I add eHouse shutter control into Domoticz (quick start)?

Wire each blind to two eHouse outputs (up/down) as you would to physical switches.
Enable the eHouse integration in Domoticz.
Use the slider to set run time and trigger full open/close. “Roller shutter support” and slider timing are available. [Elektroda, marclo, post #16905102]

What is Broadlink RM Pro in this setup?

It’s a Wi‑Fi bridge that sends RF433 commands to compatible wall switches or panels. A user used it for lighting and planned to add an RF433 curtain switch, enabling smartphone control and future Domoticz linkage. [Elektroda, swieka85, post #16923431]

Is there a budget off‑the‑shelf hub for Nobily/Yooda motors?

A user sourced a “Smart Home Box für Nobily Funkmotoren” for about €104 on eBay.de. In Poland, the same device is branded Yooda and works with the Yooda app, offering a cheaper route than local pricing. [Elektroda, mikel24081, post #21229876]

Can I build ESP‑based shutter modules and still integrate later?

A prototype ESP module controlled blinds via a Blynk app. The maker expected Domoticz integration if Domoticz talks to ESP. This offers local positioning and future expansion with open‑source stacks. [Elektroda, omnixcrs, post #17701469]

Can those RF433 curtain panels be operated by touch on the panel itself?

A user asked if touch buttons on the panel still open/close blinds or if remote is required. Choose panels that retain local touch control if this is important, and verify before purchase. [Elektroda, gruniu, post #17800458]

What extra features did the DIY Wi‑Fi modules include?

They support smartphone control, central scenes, and optional room temperature sensing using a low‑cost sensor (~PLN 5). Modules connect over Wi‑Fi via your router and cloud, enabling remote access without static IP setup. [Elektroda, omnixcrs, post #17645318]

Are there nicer GUI overlays for Domoticz?

A participant asked about “nice GUI overlays,” but no specific overlay was cited in the thread. You can still theme dashboards later or use app front‑ends if your hardware choice allows. [Elektroda, marclo, post #16905102]

Any gotchas or edge cases I should know before buying?

Rolling‑code devices like Elmes STM were questioned for Broadlink learning, and no success report followed. Treat rolling‑code pairings as a risk without verified confirmation from your exact device set. [Elektroda, grekpg, post #16928132]

What power rating should I expect on RF433 curtain panels?

One user linked an RF433 wall curtain switch labeled 100 W. Treat 100 W as a typical single‑panel rating and validate against your motor’s specs before wiring. [Elektroda, swieka85, post #16923431]
