Welcome, I have a Fakro ARZ Z-Wave roller shutter for a roof window and I have a question, in order to control it do I need a dedicated remote control or a wall controller, which are available on the Fakro website (and are expensive), or maybe some cheapest remote operating in the 868 MHZ band...

You need a dedicated remote control (e.g. ZWP10), which is not that expensive at all. For control from the wall, you can use the ZWL wall switch, or the ZWMA1 adaptor module itself, which are also not very expensive. Alternatively, Fibaro and these certainly aren't cheap. And when you buy a roller shutter you get a remote control with it.

Yes, it has to be a Z-Wave protocol remote. The price for a remote is considerable, I'll admit, but when you look at it in terms of product price it looks better. Theoretically this can be controlled from Z-Wave remotes from other manufacturers, but I haven't programmed other remotes and I don't think they are much cheaper.

Purely practically, you can also control any system. It is necessary to go to the slope, remove the upper housing (2 torx screws), unplug the wires from the controller to the engine and plug your controller in there. If you need local control from the frame, then you have to fiddle around and solder the circuit to suit the controller. Tested in an existing project.

OK thanks for the answer. I was wondering if if I buy a remote control for e.g. 20 PLN it will also work with the above mentioned roller shutter, but I understand that it will not work, so you have to invest 200 pln

. pol102, thanks for the reply. In this case, can I combine the above-mentioned roller shutter with the mobilus senso, cosmo GTW control unit? Or is it sufficient to plug in the mobilus C-MR module?

I am not familiar with the module and the system but remember that +-12V control requires an H-bridge....

Welcome,

I have a Fakro ARZ Z-Wave roller shutter for a roof window and I have a question, in order to control it do I need a dedicated remote control or a wall controller, which are available on the Fakro website (and are expensive), or maybe some cheapest remote operating in the 868 MHZ band will suffice?

Greetings.

Topic summary

The Fakro ARZ Z-Wave roller shutter requires a dedicated Z-Wave protocol remote control, such as the Fakro ZWP10, for proper operation. While cheaper 868 MHz remotes are unlikely to be compatible, the included remote control typically comes with the roller shutter purchase. Wall control options include the Fakro ZWL wall switch or the ZWMA1 adapter module, both cost-effective alternatives. Although theoretically other manufacturers' Z-Wave remotes might work, compatibility and cost issues remain. For local manual control, it is possible to physically access the shutter's controller by removing the housing and rewiring the motor connections, but this requires technical modifications such as soldering. Integration with other control units like the Mobilus Senso or Cosmo GTW may require additional modules (e.g., Mobilus C-MR) and consideration of electrical requirements such as an H-bridge for ±12V control signals.
