I have external blinds with Zamel SRP-01 controllers (6 roller blinds, a separate controller for each).
There is a local control switch for each roller blind (2 keys: up and down) and in addition to all roller blinds
there is 1 common central control switch (also 2 keys: up and down).
Everything connected properly, works as described in the manufacturer's instructions.
However, there is one small problem, the solution of which would make the blinds a little easier for me:
Using the local control switches you can set individual blinds in any intermediate position.
This is done by pressing any key while the blind is moving. After releasing the key the roller blind stands.
Pressing and releasing the key again causes the roller blind to continue to the end position or to stop again.
Whereas the central control keys only allow full closing or opening of all blinds.
Pressing and releasing the central control button during their opening or closing causes them to stop only for a moment, after which they "drive" further until the last one reaches the end point. That's how it works according to the instructions.
However, sometimes it would be useful to be able to stop all blinds in the intermediate position using central control.
For example, in a situation when I have all the blinds tightly closed and I would like only a minimal "pull" all of them up to let some light into the apartment.
Now I have to do it separately for each roller blind with its local control key.
It is begged that it could be done "in one go", i.e. with the central control key.
Does anyone know if it is possible to connect SRP-01 controllers in this way (without having to replace them),
so that it is possible to stop all blinds in the intermediate position using the central connector?
Somewhere I heard a proposal that the central control connector should be connected not to the "CENTRAL" terminals of individual controllers, but to their "LOCAL" terminals (ie the same to which local connectors are connected) through the diodes, as shown in the diagram below (I marked the modification with red color). The diodes would be here so that closing the local connector of a given controller would not affect the controllers of the other blinds. However, I am not entirely convinced of this solution.
I would be grateful for feedback on this solution, or suggestions for other solutions.
