Faher screens suported?

---

I’m about to buy some screens for my bedroom windows. Since I’m recently the proud owner of a pi + arduino nano + pimatic, it would be great to be able to add these screens to my setup.

The screen motor is a Faher 45 standard; http://faher.nl/type-45/motor-met-radio-ontvanger
The remote is a Faher DC305; http://faher.nl/afstandbediening/serie-dc-305

How can I find out if there motors can be controlled through pimatic?
My neighbours have the same screens/motor/remote; so I can collect debug-output if necessairy.

They are using it for entrance systems so the wireless message should be encrypted. I think the best way is to buy a extra remote and connect the button to an pin of the arduino or pi. Eventually you need an little relay to separate the voltage circuits.

you mean something like this?

Wouldn’t it be easier to buy the screens with a ‘normal’ switch (so no remote control), and replace the switch with a Kaku Asun-650? Ow wait… that switch isn’t supported by pimatic (yet?)…

@wimpie
kaku uses the switch4 protocol as intertechno does, have a look here : https://github.com/pimatic/rfcontroljs/blob/master/protocols.md
i am using the intertechno cmr-500 devices and some common shutter motors without RF.
this works like a charm and easy to set up! but if you want to switch the shutters by hand and not pimatic you’ll still need an additional RF wall switch like ywt8500 from intertecno or a similar device from kaku .
there’s also a possibility to switch the intertecno/kaku shutters with a remote then, but never tried.

thanks!
