The easiest way is a radio motor: timer and sensors are paired like another transmitter.

A motor that stops on resistance protects the roller shutter and plants on the windowsill.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frost protection:<\/strong> In winter the curtain can freeze. The AM45 radio detects this and stops.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Intermediate position:<\/strong> For sun protection, half closed is often enough \u2013 this can be stored with electronic end positions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Window actuators can also be automated \u2013 for example with rain and wind sensors for ventilation, see <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/rain-sensor-for-windows\/\">Rain sensor for windows<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I automate an existing cable motor?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, with a timer in the switch range or a radio receiver in front of the motor.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the roller shutter also move during a power cut?<\/h3>\n<p>No, except with battery-solar motors.
