Hi everyone, I’ve been on a quest to integrate all my window blinds into my smart home ecosystem. After successfully using Fibaro Roller Shutter 3 units, I wanted to expand my setup without breaking the bank. Fibaro units are great, but at over €60 each, they quickly add up. So, I started searching for more affordable Z-Wave Plus alternatives and stumbled upon the MCO Home C221 roller shutter, priced around €30 on AliExpress.
From what I gather, MCO Home is a reputable manufacturer known for their Z-Wave products like thermostats and air quality sensors. The C221 seems like a promising option, but I’m curious about its compatibility with Home Assistant. The product isn’t explicitly listed in the OpenZWave device database, so I’m eager to hear if anyone has successfully integrated it.
I’ve ordered one to test it out first-hand. Once I have it, I’ll update this thread with my findings. If you’ve had any experience with this device, whether positive or challenging, I’d love to hear your insights! Let’s explore this budget-friendly option together. Cheers!
