Recommendation for controlling shutters

---

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a way to controll my shutters through Pimatic. I have deConz, my FritzBox and Google Home integrated in my Pimatic environment.

As far as I understand I need something like this https://smile.amazon.de/dp/B08P5T2ZWS/?coliid=I15WN2FS7GXW93&colid=3LM9M9H97T9SV&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it which sits between the outside buttons and the engine of the curtains, correct?

Any hints or tips which devices to use for this scenario?

Thanks!

In the mean time I’ve found Shelly 2.5: https://www.amazon.de/Shelly-Dual-Schalter-Messfunktion-Zertifiziert/dp/B07RDL25F5/ref=pd_bxgy_3/262-6537327-3272028?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B084F2G7GQ&pd_rd_r=c3bb9e62-e778-4ffa-aaaa-4f769e6e6358&pd_rd_w=wMr9i&pd_rd_wg=F7vtb&pf_rd_p=4490d326-3239-499b-8c8a-0dd8d6ad582a&pf_rd_r=AFRYE115MCZNJYPCWMWC&refRID=AFRYE115MCZNJYPCWMWC&th=1
Seems to me as a suitable way.
If anybody has some experiences with them I’am happy to hear them, thanks!

I am using shelly and I am really happy with it. You will get many possibilities this this devices!

Thanks for the recommendation. Looks really promising to me. Do you use it integrated in mqtt? That’s an area I haven’t had contact with yet.

No, I am controling it via http.

Here you can see how easy it works: https://www.shelly-support.eu/forum/index.php?thread/775-collection-of-http-commands/

I am using as well Sehlly 1 since the first days. Just one gets broken. This one was replaced without any problems.

In the meantime two Shelly 2.5 are now working within my wall and are now integrated with pimatic. Works really well and I really like the local web interface of the Shelly relais. Thanks to @bertreb I’m even able to control them using the Google Assistant.
