I've been looking at automating some roller blinds so researching this online. Found rollertrol seem to be reasonable and a little cheaper than somfy.

I emailed rollertrol they replied as follows. I'm preferring option 2 at the moment, any recommendations on a good zwave brand for NZ RF frequencies that is well priced and flexible? Needs to work with OpenHAB. Also links and price to said product?


You could go three different ways.

- Find a relay module that has 3 relays and works with OpenHab, and use it to trigger our group controller:

- Find a z-wave relay module (NZ frequency, ours only work in North America) that works with OpenHab and use with our group controller

- Use the RPI as per our article (not OpenHab, it's OpenHomeNet):
