Blind actuator - How can I automate my shutters and blinds? Can the time of day, the weather and the position of the sun be taken into account? We provide recommendations and information on the purchase of KNX blind actuators and show you what options the technology offers you in everyday life.If you want to build a new house or renovate an existing building, many questions arise. The technical equipment in particular must be well thought out, because a later change is then only possible with a lot of effort. If you already include the advantages of intelligent building automation in your planning, then the opening, closing and shading of the windows will also play an important role.Useful application examples for controlling blinds or roller shutters:the up and down of roller shutters and blinds according to time specificationsturning the slats of blinds based on the brightness in the roomthe automatic opening of roller shutters or blinds when windows are openedthe simultaneous operation of several shading systemsthe flexible control or regulation of the roller shutters when you are absent via a smartphone appthe automatic drive to the safety position in the event of a storm alarm and back after the all-clearthe blocking of operation for certain peopleautomatic shading according to geographic location and position of the sun (astro control) The use of modern KNX blind actuators supports you in realizing all these projects. They ensure more security, greater comfort and increase the value of your property. What distinguishes a KNX blind actuator from a KNX switching actuator?All motorized equipment such as blinds or roller shutters can be automated using KNX blind actuators. Standard 230V blind actuators therefore have 2 channels per switching output. A channel to drive up and a channel to drive down. The channels are mutually locked to prevent damage to the drive. So only one phase can be switched through to the drive at a time, never both at the same time. TIP:Never use KNX switching actuators to control blinds and shutters without a downstream isolating relay. With classic KNX switching actuators, the channels are not mutually locked. It would therefore be possible to connect more than one phase to the drive. This can quickly lead to damage to the technology. There are models which, depending on the configuration, can be used both as a switching actuator and as a shutter actuator. Please read the specification of the respective actuator.What should be considered during installation?Motorized 3-point drives must not be connected in parallel. Group formations may only be carried out using isolating relays or group control devices if the manufacturer does not provide for any isolating function. For example, for 4 windows, each with a drive, you should use a KNX blind actuator with 4 channels. There is also the option of operating several drives via one channel using conventional isolating relays. The shutter actuator channel then controls the isolating relay and the drives are connected to the isolating relay. In the meantime, however, the prices for the KNX actuators have fallen massively, so that there is hardly any need to reduce costs by using isolating relays. TIP:When selecting your components, always prefer one blind actuator channel per blind motor. For example, if you would like to integrate 6, 8 or 12 blinds into your system, you will find the appropriate actuator here in the shop.Are blind actuators with 230V AC better than models with 24V DC?This question is not about better or worse. Rather, the type of voltage of the drives should always be considered. The drives of blinds or roller shutters are often designed as 230V AC (alternating voltage) or 24V DC (direct current). That's why you have to buy the matching blind actuator or roller shutter actuator. A 24V DC blind actuator or roller shutter actuator has a plus and a minus connection. A suitable KNX actuator generates the direction of travel (up/down) by changing the poles (pole reversal).Do shutter actuators require a separate power supply?The 24V DC mains supply is not provided by the actuator and must also be installed externally depending on the power requirement for simultaneity (central commands). In this case, very large power supply units can become necessary, which, in addition to high costs, also require a large amount of space. If you can, order 230V AC drives and matching 230V KNX blind actuators from the supplier. These also require their own power supply, but no additional power supply units.That is the reasonSo-called monostable relays are installed in the shutter actuators, which are open and not active when idle. However, the relays continuously require energy as long as they are closed (e.g. for the duration of a blind movement). The bus voltage alone cannot cover this requirement.In contrast, there are bistable relays in classic switching actuators. These only require some energy in the brief moment of switching from one position to another. This can be implemented via the bus and an additional power supply is usually not necessary.What do I need an SMI KNX blind actuator for?SMI stands for 'Standard Motor Interface' and is an intelligent, uniform and manufacturer-independent interface in building automation. This is used to connect various operating resources, such as window drives, roller shutter drives or blind drives to a higher-level building management system. There are SMI KNX blind actuators for drives with an SMI interface. These intelligent drives are therefore able to exchange data telegrams across manufacturers.Which actuators are recommended for controlling roller shutters and blinds?eibabo® carries KNX blind actuators, KNX roller shutter actuators and KNX SMI actuators from ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens, Somfy, Theben, Warema and many other manufacturers.Over 25 years of experienceAll actuators that you get here in the shop are of high quality and reliable. We regularly use these actuators in our projects all over the world.Benefit from our low prices and take advantage of safe, fast and worldwide shipping.1-byte communication object - what is that?In any case, make sure that your blind actuator or roller shutter actuator has a 1-byte communication object for the runtime and slat, in order to be able to enable automatic or targeted control if required.There are no slats in roller shutters, which is why roller shutter actuators do not have the slat communication object, only Up/Down/Stop. Roller shutter actuators often have a 1-bit object for a defined positioning movement that can be set via the ETS software.1 byte means that values between 0-255 can be approached, which correspond to 0-100% related to the travel time. The parameters often allow the running time to be set according to the driving time. The travel time of the blind or roller shutter is entered once in the actuator using the ETS software, namely for a complete opening or closing for each channel of the actuator. There are also actuators for evaluating limit switches, which the motorized drive provides.Image: KNX blind actuator ? Eibmarkt JA.6.230The extensive application of the KNX blind actuator / roller shutter actuator JA.6.230 from Eibmarkt® shown here enables a wide range of parameterization via the communication object, including scenes for runtime and slats, blocking functions, automatic functions, security functions and alarm functions, movement limitations, position feedback and much more.Can a layperson use the ETS software to program the KNX devices?Don't be put off by the term 'programming'. The ETS software is only used to assign and parameterize certain actions. Programming skills or learning a programming language are not required. If you have some imagination to understand logical connections, then you are quite capable of creating a project.our recommendationFor more complex projects, a certain amount of experience is of course helpful. Have the basic project created by a qualified system integrator. In this way, you will later be able to easily change important parameters yourself if circumstances require it.Roughly explained: Imagine the folder system on your Windows PC or iOS computer. Here you create your own structure, save files in it and create links to other folders. This is similar with the ETS software. The 'folders' can be floors or rooms and the 'files' in them are the sensors or actuators of the respective room or electrical distribution cabinet, which you then link to one another.What types of installation are there for KNX blind actuators?KNX blind actuators are available for every type of installation at eibabo®. For example, for installation in the electrical distribution, then these carry the suffix 'REG' for series installation devices or as a flush-mounted version 'UP' for installation in a mounting box or junction box or as a built-in version 'EB' for integration in ducts or similar. However, additional protection must also be taken into account for built-in versions depending on the installation.

Blind control - There are many ways to control blinds. Finding the right solution for your facility can be difficult. In this guide, we'll explain what options are available and help you make a purchasing decision. It doesn't matter whether you need a button for your existing control or are planning a blind control with high-end devices: In our online shop we offer you the complete range of products and solutions for your individual project ideas. In the eibabo® shop you will find high-quality products from leading manufacturers such as Peha, Jung, SOMFY, Schalk, Gira, Busch-Jaeger, Berker, Elso, Merten, Siemens, Warema Sonnen, Doepke and Rademacher. TIP:Plan the controls for your blind carefully. The choice of controller type is important and affects the day-to-day operation of your facility. In addition, numerous control options can influence other parameters of your building and its automation. These include, for example:the management of heating, ventilation and coolingthe energy consumptionthe fire protectionthe security systemand some more An intelligently planned and installed blind control contributes to comfort, security and energy efficiency. Connected sensors assume important comfort and safety functions. Some examples:Blinds, roller shutters and awnings can be controlled depending on the light using brightness sensors or twilight sensors.Precipitation sensors and wind sensors can automatically retract or raise awnings or shutters when the weather changes.Sensors for open doors support you in the implementation of lock-out protection. Once you know what you value, you can determine the optimal type of control. Manual control by hand is the simplest variant. This is the cheapest, not very convenient and offers no possibility for automation. With a wired blind control, you have convenient control options using buttons or switches (also with sensor evaluation). If you instead rely on an electronic blind control, you will benefit from time-dependent control options. You can also automate the daily operation of your blinds and shutters or simulate a presence. You can conveniently control your blinds with a blind control via radio. Complex installations can be avoided with wireless solutions. In addition, a radio blind control is an enormous gain in comfort: You can remotely control blinds, roller shutters or awnings with radio control buttons and radio hand-held transmitters.Wired control via switches and buttonsThe classic method of controlling blinds is to connect the motor cable directly to a switch. This gives you the option of moving the system up or down and influencing the opening. There are no other options. With this setup you control a single motor with a switch or button. This contact closure control can also be used for basic hardwired switching. This enables, for example, control via an alarm system, a fire protection installation or a building management system. To control multiple motors, you need to expand the installation.Image: Jung AT 04 WW awning controlThe use of relaysUsing a motor relay (disconnect relay) you can control multiple blinds from one switch. Group controls and individual controls are possible. The number of inputs on a standard relay determines the amount of individual or grouped motors that you can connect to the relay. Other functions are also possible with relays. Some relays have additional inputs. A classic safety function is the fire alarm. A signal on the relay's fire alarm input overrides all other controls. This allows blinds to be opened or closed automatically as soon as a fire alarm is triggered. Some relays are equipped with potential-free contacts for connection to a home automation or building management system.radio controlAlternatively, you can connect a radio remote controlled motor to a power source. Radio-controlled motors can be controlled using wireless wall switches or a remote control. If you want to operate each blind individually, you can use a separate controller for each motor.Electronic blind controlWith motor control via digital building management, you are absolutely flexible. Each motor has its own address within the network, regardless of the type of wiring. This makes your system fit for any adjustment or change in the future. For example, imagine dividing your parents' house into two residential units for the children. This may require some windows to be regrouped. You can easily change the switch positions for these particular blinds in software without having to physically rewire the building. You can use blind control to improve the energy efficiency of the house. In conjunction with sensors on the window, you can, for example, have the blinds opened or closed automatically. This means that daylight can be used optimally and electricity can be saved. The heat conditions caused by solar radiation also fluctuate throughout the day. Use automation to ensure a constant temperature. Use the sensors of a weather station with an astro function to automatically control the position of the sun on the blinds according to your geographical orientation or to ensure the slats are protected against ice.Use digital assistanceThere are numerous building automation devices that are compatible with your blinds and other devices in your home. These can be connected to digital assistants such as Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant. This makes it possible to control the blinds using voice commands.Another option is to link the blind control with other automatisms in the building. For example, blinds can be closed depending on the activated alarm system or opened in the event of a fire alarm. The possibilities are manifold. All this increases comfort and improves the quality of life.Which blind control components do you recommend?In the eibabo® technology store you get everything you need to implement your individual blind control.

Timer electronic - If blinds close at a certain time or lamps are to be switched on according to time specifications, for example to simulate activity even when nobody is at home, then timers can take over this task. The daily switching on and off of a fountain in the garden pond or the switching on and off of the Christmas lights in the house can be done conveniently using timers. In the eibabo technology store there are timers as simple analogue models as well as electronic versions. Depending on the design, they are designed for loose use on Schuko sockets, for installation in corresponding device sockets or for installation in the control cabinet. In all cases, these devices support you in carrying out individual or recurring switching operations precisely and reliably, without you having to constantly think about them yourself. The switching rhythm and the intervals can be set extremely flexibly.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Time switch for domestic switching devices you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Blind controlCentral controlControl elementControl surfacesElectronic time switch for domestic switching devicesElectronic timerElectronic timer for installation switch programsEngine control unitHome automationIndividual control unitLotus whiteMechanical time switch for domestic switching devicesMechanical timerMechanical timer for installation switch programsNickel metallicShutter buttonShutter clockTime switch for domestic switching devicesTimerTimer clockTimer for installation switch programsTimer, electronicTimer, mechanicalTimersTimingWeek clockWeekly timerYear clockfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Timer electronic:BerkerBusch JaegerElsoEltakoHagerJungMertenSomfyTheben

Cutt-off relay blind shutter - Separating relays are electrical components used in the installation of blinds and roller shutters. Especially when several drives are connected in parallel, isolating relays ensure that they really work separately from each other, even if they are controlled centrally. If this were not the case, the different drives could influence each other, for example due to different switching times, which could ultimately lead to incorrect functioning and, in the worst case, to damage to the components. With high-quality isolating relays from the eibabo technology store, you can ensure that your blinds and roller shutters function correctly. You can get high-quality control and isolating relays from well-known manufacturers such as Busch-Jaeger, Gira or Siemens for your installation here at your eibabo specialist center for technical building automation.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Isolator relay venetian blind you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Awning control relayBlind controlBlind control relayControl relayControl unitCoupling relayCut-off relayEngine control unitEngine controlsEngine group relayIsolator relay venetian blindModular installation deviceMultiple control relayMultiple controllerObject controlParallelingRelay switchSeparating relay blindShutter controlShutter motorShutter relayShutter switchSwitch rangefrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Cutt-off relay blind shutter:BerkerBusch JaegerElsoEltakoGiraHagerIssendorffJungKaiser NienhausMertenPehaPROTEC.classRademacherSchalkSiemensSomfyWarema

Programming software - A modern building automation is a great thing - blinds that work according to solar radiation and weather conditions, doors and gates that open and close themselves or lighting systems that go into operation by themselves when the dwindling daylight requires it. But none of this would be possible if there wasn't well thought-out programming behind it. In order to implement this, the eibabo online shop offers you numerous programming software. Develop your own applications, create conditions and dependencies, carry out tests and diagnostics, start simulations and have your processes recorded and displayed graphically.

Tactile sensor - Smart, individual, simple, extravagant, futuristic - touch sensors, also known as KNX buttons, like to attract admiring glances and their modern design alone suggests to every user that this is more than a conventional light switch. Rockers, glowing LEDs, small symbols or even LCD displays give an idea of the numerous functions hidden behind many an installation. In addition, there is often a very noble selection of materials such as high-quality metal, acrylic or glass, which always exudes a touch of extravagance. But why are multifunctional touch sensors needed and how do you use their potential optimally? We give you a brief insight here.The basics in a nutshellTouch sensors are multifunctional control elements for the smart home.The design and function selection is huge, from a single button to a control center with 12 or more buttons, everything is possible.You can use it to control, for example, the light, its dimming, blinds, heating, entertainment center, door opener and all other devices in your home network.The button functions can be assigned individually and can be easily reprogrammed if necessary.Integrated LEDs or other displays often show the respective operating status or provide information about errors. What is a touch sensor or a KNX button?You can operate the end devices integrated in your smart home network with a touch sensor or a KNX button. This can be blinds that you can raise and lower - light that you dim - the heating that you regulate or completely individual, user-defined scenarios. Depending on the model, operation is optically individual. In general, it is operated using a different number of buttons or rocker switches and/or even displays.The different types of KNX buttonsUsing a KNX universal button interface, you can basically turn any conventional button into a KNX button. These interfaces are installed in a deep device box behind the standard button and thus take on the task of the binary input, which converts the classic switching processes into KNX signals.Which doses are suitable?To do this, use a branch switch box with 4 screw domes or a deep switch box or an electronics box. Use our eibabo® search to quickly find the right item.This solution is particularly suitable for the standard application 'basic lighting' per room (see: 'What are standard applications?') or for the modernization of existing installations as well as for inexpensive and functionally manageable system extensions.'Real' KNX tactile sensors are much more complex and range up to control elements with elegant touch displays. Temperature sensors, LED displays and background lighting are often already combined in one device. In contrast to the simple interface variant, there is often the option of providing each key with additional functions, which are then triggered, for example, by a long press, double-click or even triple-click. TIP:We recommend planning well in advance so that you can later fit all the functions you need into your keypad. While some KNX push-button sensors require a separate bus coupler to which they are plugged, the bus coupler is already integrated in others. The eibabo® technology store also has both complete KNX pushbuttons and pushbutton sensor modules. The latter is 'only' about the technology and you can choose a matching design cover yourself. The possibilities are diverse - you can choose exactly what suits your project.The advantages and disadvantages of tactile sensorsThe central control of a large number of actions on different end devices is certainly the greatest advantage. The plus in comfort is combined with the flexible options for changing and expanding a well-planned setup. The disadvantage is certainly the slightly higher acquisition costs of a smart home solution compared to a conventional electrical installation. In the case of units with many keys and each assignment with different control variables (print, double-click), the overview of all the functions and their control can easily be lost.Unusual application examples in everyday lifeWe have already mentioned a few classic use cases. In the course of our more than 25 years of work, we have also been able to implement 'very special' projects. It starts with the smart opening and locking of the cat flap in the basement, continues with the choreographed lighting of exterior facades and doesn't end with the automatic pool cover, the fully automated aquarium or the heated driveway in winter. You want to know more? We answer frequently asked questions.Nobody knows everything and sometimes there are small ambiguities that prevent us from correctly grasping connections or from deciding on one or the other product. You may also find an answer to your question in the following topics.How are the KNX devices programmed?Many interested parties are quickly startled by the term 'programming', but it's not that difficult at all, because it's not actually programmed with the 'ETS', but assignments and parameterizations are carried out.What does ETS mean for KNX?The term ETS (Engineering Tool Software) means that it is programming software for commissioning the KNX devices. The tool is more of a software for parameterization and basically also suitable for laypersons with an interest in the logic of the KNX.No programming knowledge or programming language is required. If you are interested in the rather simple logical connections of the KNX bus, you are in a position to create a project. Of course, more complex projects require a certain amount of experience. We always recommend having the basic project created by an experienced system integrator. This allows you to easily change important parameters yourself later on, since many things change in the life cycle.Which touch sensor or KNX button should I buy?Well, we can't give a general answer to this question, but we can perhaps provide some impetus for decision-making. KNX push button sensors are available in a variety of designs. The manufacturers offer solutions for every taste. However, you should not only be guided by the optics. In addition to the optics, eibabo® also recommends checking the applications (parameters and functions) provided by the manufacturer for the ETS (Engineering Tool Software). Significant deficits can open up here in the course of a project if the beautiful button were not able to control the necessary actions correctly. Plan exactly which requirements you place on the respective push button sensor and then select a suitable model accordingly. NOTE:ETS is standardized software for commissioning the KNX devices and can be obtained from www.knx.org. With regard to the design, you should also rely on optics that have a positive effect in the long term and not follow every short-term trend, only to realize a few years later that the brightly colored displays and the LEDs for various status messages on the buttons in the wall were a bit too much of a good thing. It makes sense to ensure that displays can be dimmed or configured in different brightness levels and status LEDs can be configured and switched off. A timeless surface design, for example, has simple elegance, looks classy, is durable and has no playful rockers that could quickly gather dust.How do I recognize whether a touch sensor already has a bus connection?Some touch sensors already have a bus connection. If you're not sure, a look at the back will clarify.Image: KNX push button sensor - Jung 4047TSMA touch sensor is equipped with a bus coupling if it has a black and red (or gray and red) terminal for the bus on its back. This 4-wire terminal with plug-in terminal connection serves as a distributor for up to four KNX lines.How do I keep track of the individual functions of complex touch sensors?We would like to encourage you to think: Imagine you come into a room and have to press the small second rocker from the top left on an 8-way pushbutton sensor every day to switch on the basic lighting. It can quickly happen that you accidentally set the pressure point on the adjacent rocker and unfortunately operate the blinds at 11:00 p.m. Not to mention how a guest or child is supposed to cope with it.So it can indeed be a bit difficult to always steer correctly. But: The advantages of the KNX lie in the intelligence of the system, which is implemented by the system integrator based on their experience and your functional requirements. For this reason, you should arrange functions logically or thematically and, if necessary, group them on easy-to-use buttons. If necessary, it is advisable to divide standard applications and detailed circuits into different buttons at different mounting heights.What are default applications? What is the best way to implement this into the system?The first switch box is usually placed on the 1.05m upper edge of the finished floor. At this point you should mount a conventional double button and connect it twice to the bus via a very inexpensive KNX button interface. Of course, you can also mount 2 or 3 double buttons and integrate a 4-way or 6-way KNX button interface. A deep switch box or electronics box is installed as a flush-mounted box in order to be able to place the small button interface behind the double button.Here you save!Combine a KNX button interface with a conventional double button.With the conventional double button, you have more choice in the design of the switch range and, in the event of defects or design changes, you can obtain a lifetime replacement without having to reprogram. You can assign the most important and most frequently used basic lighting to this button or parameterize the button or the button interface with light scene recall. A beautiful flat switch is also very easy to use for guests and children.What is meant by detailed switching on the KNX button?You should mount detailed circuits of the certainly many functions in a room on the 1.60m upper edge of the finished floor and call them up from a room controller or multiple push-button sensor with an optionally integrated room temperature controller (see also our multiple control unit catalogue). A room temperature controller already requires this mounting height for optimal control. At this user-friendly height, you can then carry out all additional controls for additional lighting, blinds, roller shutters, entertainment, etc.Touch sensors wear out very quickly! Is that correct?Like all other technical components that are used more or less every day, tactile sensors and control points in general are subject to a certain amount of wear and tear. However, this is no different than with conventional buttons or switches. It is possible that individual parts that have been in use for a decade are then worn out.Does it make sense to control the heating using touch sensors?Definitely, as a rule, individual room heating controls are also required for KNX installations. In terms of value for money, the combined buttons with room temperature controllers are the best choice, also in terms of user-friendliness.Which manufacturer offers the most beautiful and best KNX buttons?Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we won't take a position on that. In terms of quality, however, all brands perform very well. There is no such thing as the 'best' touch sensor. Each manufacturer has its individual strengths in terms of applications (parameters and functions). eibabo® offers switches from all brand manufacturers (from ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten to Siemens). Select KNX push-button sensors in the following versions: KNX push-button sensor, KNX sensor unit, KNX wall sensor, KNX room control unit, KNX push-button sensor module, KNX push-button sensor extension module, KNX push-button 1-fold, KNX push-button 2-fold, KNX push-button 4-fold, KNX push-button 5-way, 6-way KNX button, 8-way KNX button, KNX control panel, KNX button with bus coupler, KNX button module, KNX touch sensor, KNX button sensor plus, KNX glass button.

Remote control - Some of you probably still remember the times when there were no remote controls. In order to change the channel on the TV, you had to get up and walk to the device. For other electrical components such as blinds, LED lamps or electric fireplaces, the use of remote controls was unthinkable. But today it's all different. Remote controls are now standard for numerous electrically controllable devices. You can use it to operate the almost endless functions of home entertainment systems, control complex smart home installations or simply change the color of the lighting in the living room and bedroom. In a specialized online shop such as the eibabo technology store, you can of course obtain remote controls for intelligent building automation, as well as universal remote controls that you can program yourself and remote controls as an optional supplement to many end, control and drive devices available here.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Consumer electronics > Remote control you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Cable remote controlCeiling fan remote controlDevice remote controlEIB remote controlGlobal remote controlInfrared remoteIR remote controlKNX remote controlLearning remote controlOperating unitProgrammable remote controlRadio dimmerRadio remote controlRemote controlRemote control (box)Remote control building servicesRemote control building technologyRemote control consumer electronicsRemote control for roller shutter controlRemote control heating appliancesRemote control home automationRemote control housing technologyRemote controll for roller-blind driveReplacement remote controlUniversal remote controlWall remote controlWired remote controlWireless remote controlfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Remote control:ArcliteAssa Abloy effeffBachmannBarthelmeBEGA GantenbrinkBrumbergBusch JaegerCasafanEgloeQ-3EthermaFlukefrogblueGlenGrotheHamaHeliosHuber + Söhne WHDHuber + S?hne WHDIndexaIVSJungKindermannLedlenserMaicoNikoPerformance in LightPilzScharnberger+Has.Schmitz-LeuchtenSitecoSomfySteinelStiebel EltronTechniSatTelevesTriaxVaillantWaldmannWaremaWisiZumtobel

If you want it to be particularly convenient, then products from our smart home range might also be an option for you. Talk to us, we are specialists in the field of building automation.Image: Busch Jaeger 2000/4 US shutter switch insertWhat are blind switches?Blind switches or buttons for roller shutters are components for controlling blinds and roller shutters. However, it is also possible to connect drives for opening and closing awnings, roller shutters and similar things. The polarity is reversed by operating the respective rocker switches or buttons or by turning a toggle or a key in different directions. This causes the actuator or motor to be controlled in two different directions.Please noteYou cannot use a normal switch to control blinds. In the case of blind buttons or blind switches, the control is interlocked. This means that there can be either only the up command or the down command. Simultaneous actuation in both directions is not possible.In addition to the simple switches and buttons, models with a latching function, rotary key switches, variants with remote control or radio control and devices with a bus connection for home automation are also available. The switches for surface mounting and flush mounting are also available.Special features of the classic roller shutter switchThe classic among roller shutter switches looks like a light switch. Installed in a conventional switch box or surface-mounted, operation is usually carried out using two buttons (up button and down button) or a two-way button. Normally you have to press the respective button until the desired position of the shading is reached. The motor stops when a button is released. The same applies to the rocker switch with the two-way button. With a latching switch, you press the button for the corresponding direction and the motor opens or closes the shade to the end position. If you want to stop this process, you can do so using a stop function. This is triggered by pressing it again or in the opposite direction.Special features of a rotary switch / toggle switch for blinds and roller shuttersTechnically, the rotary switch is identical to the classic roller shutter switch. The difference lies in the operation. With these models, you turn the so-called knob to the left or right to determine the direction in which the motor runs. Here, too, you have the choice between models with a locking function or variants in which you have to hold the toggle in the desired position.qualityAll blind switches in the eibabo® technology store come from well-known manufacturers such as Berker, Gira, Somfy, Jung, Siemens, Hager and Busch Jaeger. We regularly use this high-quality branded product in our own projects.Special features of a key switch for blinds and roller shuttersA key switch is rarely used in private rooms. In publicly accessible areas, however, the rotary key switch offers effective protection against use by unauthorized persons. A key is required for operation, which is turned in the lock to the left or right for the desired direction. Here, too, a snap-in function is optionally possible. Such a switch is usually surrounded by a solid metal housingAdvantages and disadvantages of manual blind controlThis purely mechanical type of control is comparatively simple and works depending on the type of shading:by means of a rotatable shaft, which is manually driven by a torsion bar or a crankpurely due to the gravity of the roller shutters or awnings - often a belt causes the shading to be lowered and pulled up The systems are robust and mostly low-maintenance. In comparison to the automatic solution, it is operated entirely without electricity. The shading can thus be controlled independently of existing lines or the availability of electricity. In addition, this variant is easier to install. No cables need to be laid. Manual control is usually cheaper than automatic control. With a manual blind control, it is not possible to group several shadings and regulate them together. Each window must be adjusted individually. It is also not possible to open or close according to a predetermined time setting, the position of the sun or the wind load.Advantages and disadvantages of an electric blind controlThe main advantage of the electrified blind control is the increased comfort. The basic functionality is identical to manual control. But instead of having to turn the crank, you can simply open and close your shading with the push of a button. With appropriate cabling, several windows can be operated simultaneously, but not independently of each other. The disadvantages are the higher installation costs and the dependence on electricity. In the event of a power failure, it is generally not possible to move the shading. The electrical control forms the basis for automating the system. However, this is not yet a 'real' automation. This offers even more comfort.Advantages and disadvantages of automatic blind controlThere are countless ways to respond to personal needs or environmental influences with automatic control. With the term 'Smart Home' we describe the automation of buildings or apartments in which all technical communication is combined in a single network. With sensors and actuators, the intelligent house handles many processes independently, including the control of roller shutters, awnings, roller shutters and blinds:With light sensors, the shading is regulated automatically depending on the intensity of the natural light and the direction of the sun's rays.Temperature sensors set the shading in motion as soon as the temperature in the room rises above a set value.Timers ensure automatic timing.Weather stations and precipitation sensors react to wind and rain, retract the shading and protect it from damage. TIPThe automated blind control can be wired or wireless, so the control can be central, decentralized or remote. This maximum level of comfort and flexibility is offset by higher installation costs for actuators, sensors and other software and hardware. In addition, when selecting wired devices, it is necessary to provide a separate data line. As a layman, you usually have to consult a specialist for the basic setup of the network. When the system is running, a lot of energy can also be saved with optimized processes. Installing automated shutters and blinds is a trendsetting way to control lighting in apartments and houses. This saves time, effort and energy. If you are interested in building automation, you will find everything you need here in the eibabo® shop.

Tubular motor - Would you like to equip your windows with shading systems, but do not want to operate them with a crank if possible? Then they will equip your systems with tubular motors. Tubular motors are the classic drive devices for blinds and roller shutters. The tubular motors owe their name to their shape and their place of use, because they are designed in such a way that they can be pushed into a hollow shaft and drive it. The resulting rotary movement ensures that roller shutters are raised and lowered or blinds are moved up and down. Treat yourself to a little bit of convenience and opt for high-quality roller shutter motors from your inexpensive eibabo online shop. We deliver quickly and reliably, offer the highest level of customer satisfaction and always strive to keep delivery times as short as possible.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Gate operators, pumps and ventilators > Tube mounted motor you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Automation setAwning driveAwning motorBlind controlBlind driveCombination tubular motorComplete packageConversion packageDriveElectronicEngineHome automationIndoor sun protectionPlug-in drivePlug-in motorRademacherRadio tube motorRetrofit kitRoller shutter driveSecurity featureShaft motorShutter driveShutter drive motorShutter motorTube mounted motorTubular motorUniversal driveVenetian blind drivefrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Tubular motor:EltakoKaiser NienhausRademacherSomfySommer
