Home automation has become an essential part of daily life, improving comfort, security, and energy efficiency in homes. Among the many Smart Home functions, home automation for roller shutters offers a practical and innovative solution for automating the opening and closing of your shutters, even remotely..
How can I make my roller shutters automated?
To integrate your roller shutters into your home automation system, it is essential that they are motorized. If your shutters are not yet motorized, you will need to install an electric motor. Once motorized, you can connect them to a home automation system that allows you to control them via an app or voice commands.
Dovit, for example, offers complete integration of motorized shutters into its home automation system, allowing you to manage them through a single interface along with other home functions.
Dovit’s “dust-free” solution for automating roller shutters
With Dovit, you can automate your shutters easily without invasive work. Thanks to our miniaturized automation modules, they can be installed directly into existing spaces without the need for construction work. These modules, connected and powered by the motor of the shutters, communicate wirelessly with Dovit’s home automation hub, offering flexible and smart control.
An additional advantage of our solution is that the modules can be connected to pre-existing switches, maintaining the convenience of traditional manual control. Each installed module also acts as a wireless repeater, extending the coverage of the home automation network and ensuring stable communication even for distant shutters. This allows you to control up to 100 shutters simultaneously with the same app, ensuring a smooth and centralized experience.
Our “dust-free” technology is designed to simplify installation as much as possible, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of home automation immediately, without the hassle of construction work or complex electrical interventions. With Dovit, controlling your shutters becomes intuitive and fully customizable, improving both the comfort and efficiency of your Smart Home.
Based on what parameters can I automate the roller shutter?
Thanks to Dovit’s home automation technology, you can create scenarios that automate the opening or closing of the shutters based on certain parameters:
Security system integration: Automatic lowering of shutters when the alarm system or motion sensors detect movement around the house. You can also simulate your presence during extended absences with a smart scenario that opens and closes your shutters at preset times.
Pre-set schedules: Automatic opening and closing of shutters based on users’ daily routines and their presence or absence.
Weather and environmental sensors: Automatic closing in case of strong wind or rain; opening in the morning to wake up with natural light; and closing at dusk or when it’s too hot to reduce cooling costs.
How can I control motorized shutters remotely?
Once the home automation system is installed, you can control the shutters remotely using an app on your smartphone or tablet, or via a web interface. This allows you to open or close the shutters even when you’re not home, improving both security and convenience. For example, if you forget to close them before leaving, you can do it easily while you’re out.
These features are managed through an intuitive app that lets you modify scenarios in real-time and always keep track of your shutters’ status, whether you’re home or away.
