What 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 note

You 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 switch

The 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 shutters

Technically, 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.

quality

All 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 shutters

A 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 housing

Advantages and disadvantages of manual blind control

This 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 crank
  • purely 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 control

The 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 control

There 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.

 

 


TIP

The 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.
