I have a 25 year old house and when replacing some of the windows with triple glazing I brought out the electrical cables for the future roller shutters. The company that installed the roller shutters at my parents' house seems to use Yood motors judging by the appearance of the remote control. At my place, depending on the room and the window in the future, I wanted to use a radio remote control, a roller shutter switch (by cable) or both solutions at the same time (thanks to the nano control unit in the box). I have seen that Yooda offers central units to control the roller shutters from a smartphone app, once the unit connects to a WiFi network. However, the prices are quite high (YSH3 around 1100£ and YSH2 around 800£) and I can see from the reviews that they are very unreliable and work as they please.
1 - Can I switch to another company's system instead of Yood's? I guess for Yood motors there must be Yood remotes and then all the hardware from that company?
2. is there any point in playing around with the smart home from the app? If I have understood the functioning of the roller shutter control installation correctly, I could make myself into a group button, e.g. the whole living room in one button (in addition local buttons under each roller shutter), in the bedroom a group button under the south side and a separate one under the north side. Plus possibly a central one at the entrance for everything. Will this work all over the radio? I have seen such settings but over cable. In addition, I wonder if there can be two group buttons for one roller shutter, e.g. one group button for the living room and another group button for the south side, controlling one roller shutter.
3. does anyone have a smart home in an old building? I would appreciate it if you could point out what mistakes to avoid, what solutions to choose. I have already searched on the forum but a lot of the topics are too advanced for me. I have no knowledge of programming or automation. In the future, I want to add opening the gate to the property with an intercom and a camera (I wanted to run a twisted-pair cable from the gate to the house) and a monitoring system (also by twisted-pair). During the renovation I pulled LAN 5e to most rooms in the house and put a rack box under the stairs. The house is permanently occupied and I would prefer to avoid overly invasive work. I would be grateful for any advice.
