Recommendation for rolling shutters (covers)?

[Klaus]

I’d love to extend my HASS setup to control 4 or more rolling shutters - these are called covers in HASS, correct?
Can you recommend hardware? I have 4 motor driven shutters, with the typical (in Germany) in-wall boxes (Unterputz Dosen), where I currently have 2 manual switches and 2 time controlled ones.

So what I need is an “actor” to replace these, that can control the motor through HASS as well as with manual buttons / switches. Or something that I can combine with the existing manual switches.

I run HASS on a raspi3 and have a hue bridge as well as a DECT capable AVM Fritz!Box - I would love to implement this without yet another bridge - I’m ok to add an Z-Wave or Zigbee USB stick to the raspi, if that helps.

What I found so far seems to need a dedicated bridge (Homematic, Bosch, Somfy).

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Recommendations for shutter motor to work with Homeassistant (Germany)

Hi, i have a HA Docker running on my Synology NAS and stm i play with esp32 and dht22 with mqtt and everything looks promising. At my Home i have the so called “Neubaurolläden” with common hand driving. If i want to switch to a motorized Version of the shutter or better the shutter motor, wich ones are nice for HA integration? What i don’t want is to buy a lot of this overpriced SMART Home components like a special BOX with the center running on or a lot of IR stuff. I’m limited in the way…

I am planning of using a Sonoff 4ch Pro, it is wifi so no additional bridge needed. I chose it over the 2ch or the 4ch standard because It has a different configuration of the relays and it can be wired in a way that it is mechanically impossible to activate both the Up and Down wires and break the motor.

At less than 20 eur it is the right price point for me. If you have two shutters near each other you can control both with one sonoff, at 10 eur each window it is a bargain…

As an added safety I bought a roller shutter motor with electronic end stops, even if the sonoff break and keep one output active, the motor will stop in the upper or lower position without overheating.
