Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with integrating a Z-Wave relay for my electric window shutters. I recently decided to automate my shutters, which were previously controlled manually. The process was a bit challenging, but I managed to get everything working smoothly. Here’s how I did it.First, I connected the receiver to the motor and noticed that the motor wasn’t receiving power until I pressed the UP or DOWN button. This made me realize I needed a way to control the power supply programmatically. I decided to use a Z-Wave relay to switch the neutral and load wires, allowing me to automate the motor without relying solely on the remote control.I initially tried using the Fibaro double switch, but it wasn’t suitable since it connects the load wire to the hot wire instead of the neutral. After some research, I came across the Remotec ZFM-80 and Fortrezz MIMO 2+. The Remotec was a single switch, so I’d need two of them, which wasn’t ideal. The MIMO was too bulky for my setup. Fortunately, I found a workaround by using two Remotec ZFM-80 relays. I set one to control the UP function and the other for DOWN. This allowed me to maintain the functionality of the remote control while integrating the system with my smart home setup. I paired the relays with my Z-Wave hub and configured them in the SmartThings app to work alongside the receiver.The process involved a lot of trial and error, but I learned a few valuable lessons. First, it’s crucial to understand the wiring requirements of your devices. Second, don’t hesitate to reach out to the community for advice—many users were generous with their insights. Lastly, patience is key when dealing with hardware integrations.I’m thrilled to say that everything is now working perfectly. My shutters open and close at scheduled times, and I can control them remotely using my smartphone. It’s a great feeling to have this automation working seamlessly with my existing smart home ecosystem.If anyone else is looking to automate their window shutters, I highly recommend exploring Z-Wave relay solutions. They offer a reliable and flexible way to integrate legacy systems into modern smart home setups. Happy automating!
