You have already automated the lights, sockets, thermostats,…, the switches remain! But these little beasts are not as easy to set up as a small socket in tusk. And then, speaking the switch language is not so easy, hence this tutorial which will explain both the connection but also the routines to use your TEEKAR switch (which can be used for other switches for shutters).
If you decide to make the connections yourself, be careful to switch off your electrical installation. It's good to keep up to date, but better not to get hung up on it ...
The physical installation of the switch
What do we find in the box? The switch, two screws and a quick installation guide in English and German. It is quite succinct on the physical installation of the switch and gives more details on the Wi-Fi installation. But the main one is there: the connection diagram.
So let's start from the beginning. If you already have an automatic roller shutter (cranked ones don't count), you shouldn't have a problem with the connections. If this is not the case, you must bring in 3 wires from your installation: neutral, phase and earth.
In case of replacing a switch, the most difficult will be ensure compliance with the color code of the wires. If, as in the case of your servant, you come across the extension cables via dominoes (and of course without respecting the color code), the easiest way and if possible pull on the arrival of the cables from the shutter to see the wiring initial and thus locate the wires. THE'using a multimeter can be difficult to find the wires coming from the shutter if you unplug everything (we test in comparison with the ground. Earth / neutral: low voltage, phase / neutral: 220 V).
Your shutter should have 4 wires: earth, neutral, and a phase (a rise return and a fall return). So if in use your shutter closes instead of opening, and vice versa, you have reversed the phase wires (brown and black or other colors, blue being neutral and green / yellow the earth).
To put it simply, the earth wires of your installation and your shutter will be attached to each other via a domino. The two neutral wires will have to meet both in thelocation N switch to power it, as well as the shutter. The phase of your installation will be connected at the L of the switch et those of the shutter at locations L1 and L3.
To fix the switch, it is necessary toremove the facade by passing a flat screwdriver in the lower part. You will thus have access to the two holes to insert the fixing screws in the flush-mounting box. Once everything is connected, your switch will be adorned with 3 blue lights and, oh miracle, the top one will also flash red fairly quickly. This is pairing mode. If you have a problem and the switch leaves this mode afterwards, rather than unplugging it and then disassembling everything, press the top key for 20 s.
A tip to see if everything is working well before fitting everything into the box and replacing the front: press the springs to see if your shutters go up, down and stop. In the event of a problem, take stock of your connections. If it's good, go inside, screw and hide everything with the facade! Be careful, as we have seen, three small springs will make contact to engage the mechanism. By pressing on the front, we will press on the springs and therefore activate the raising or lowering of the shutter. It may also explain the problems that users encounter with this type of system. If the front panel is not properly placed (too deep, for example), there may be permanent or random contact with one of the springs and therefore cause the shutter to open or close unexpectedly.
Pairing with the app Smart Life
TEEKAR decided to trust the app Smart Life. No difficulty for the installation because it is done like a socket or a bulb. As soon as it is powered on, the switch is in pairing mode. Open Smart Life, press the + et choose wall switch as requested by the manufacturer (and not a curtain switch which at present are only supported if they are ZigBee (?)). Get on your 2,4 GHz network, Enter your password and let it be (see the bulb tutorial for more details). Rename your switch for more convenience later.
Once done, when you enter the switch control, you will notice that the visual repeats that of a remote control allowing you to open, close and pause it remotely.
Creating routines under Alexa and scenario under Smart Life
There are some subtleties in considering it as a wall switch:
- In native mode, to open or close the shutter, you have to say on or off. Not very practical, eh? It will therefore be necessary create routines under Alexa to use a more intuitive vocabulary.
- At present, it is not possible, under Alexa, to control the “pause” function during descent or ascent (the middle button). This will require going through a scenario under Smart Life and then put it in a routine under Alexa.
We will see this together. Of course, above all, theactivation of the Skill Smart Life is of course necessary on Alexa. It is also mandatory to have the switch found by Alexa once it is installed on Smart Life ended. Normally this is done automatically but if it is not, press + to add a new device and select "other".
Routine to say "open" and "close" instead of "turn on" and "turn off":
It's relatively simple: in the game « when this happens ”choose "Voice" et enter the sentence you want. Then at the level of "Add an action"choose "Connected home" > "Control a device", find your switch and then select " We " ou "Off" depending on whether you want to open or close your shutter.
Scenario and routine to stop your shutter during operation:
For this case, it's a little more subtle. It is necessary that create a scenario under Smart Life and then put it in a routine Alexa (scenarios cannot be invoked directly).
Dance Smart life, click on "Scenario" at the bottom of the screen and + then "Scenario". Enter the name of your scenario and then, by going to "Add an execution action", select your device (in our case "bedroom shutters") and in the section "Status" choose "STOP".
Your scenario is now usable. Test it out by tapping on your scenario icon while your shutter is moving up or down. If there is no problem, let's move on to integrating it into a routine that should look like this:
How to do ? The start is the same for the first routine (choice of the sentence, select connected house for the action) but instead of choosing “control a device” in connected house, choose "Control a scene". You will find your scenario Smart Life. And there you have it, by saying the magic phrase, your scenario becomes an action.
It is possible to create other routines such as opening your shutter at a fixed time or even other scenarios for the shutter to close at sunset or open at sunrise. The possibilities are endless, let your imagination run wild!
Which connected switch to choose for your roller shutters?
The choice is vast, but you can turn to these models that we have all tested with success.
Hi
Why my roller shutter switches do not stay in the app Smart Life?
I have to search for them almost every day and reinstall them in the app
Thank you for your information
Hello,
No idea, but that's not normal. Personally, I have never had to reinstall a device on Smart Life. So you probably have a problem.
Looks like your switches do a reset every time, so either they lose their power and therefore have to be paired again, or they have a technical problem.
What brand is it? Where did you buy them?
Hello,
I followed the tutorial but Alexa replied "the shutter does not support this command". On the other hand I do not use a connected wall switch as in the tutorial but a dual sonoff, so I use Ewelink and no Smart Life. My Sonoff dual is well recognized in Ewelink, I renamed it Shutters living room, one of the 2 channels is reserved for opening, I called it Open the other Close, I created my 2 scenarios under Ewelink Shutters Closure and Open Shutters and then my 2 routines (" Alexa, open the shutters "and" Alexa, close the shutters ”under Alexa in which I use my 2 scenarios, if I run my routines from the phone, it works on the other hand Alexa does not agree ... yet I have already done the equivalent with a Sonoff 4CH for my portal and it works.
Thank you for your help.
If the routine works, it's becauseAlexa has a problem with understanding. Try renaming your Sonoff Dual without the word “shutters”, as it should recognize it by that name and therefore not trigger the routines.
So I deleted the word whatsoever in the devices (sonoff dual CH1 and CH2) and in the scenarios under Ewelink, and now Alexa answers me: "several elements are named shutters, which one do you want? », It looks like there is a trace of what was done before ...
In fact I changed my phone very recently and I am wondering if some routines, which I no longer see on my new phone, have remained active… I will look this way and I will keep you posted. Thank you.
I think it finally works: I put my echo plus in configuration mode (long press on the action key until the yellow circle appears), then from my PC I went to alexa.amazon.com and I completely reconfigured the dot echo and without touching anything on the app alexa on my phone my routines closes and opens the shutters now act on my Sonoff Dual. Until then, I had configured my echo on the app alexa on my phone, maybe it was necessary to do it on the PC… Thank you anyway for your help.
Great tutorial Thank you to the whole team.
Thank you! 🙂
Hello,
I installed my socket as in the tutorial, no problem it works with the buttons of the socket.
On the other hand, I cannot connect to the switch with my iPhone via my livebox 4.
Do you have a solution for me. Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial very clear.
Do you know if it is possible to deactivate the leds of the switch?
Because in the middle of the night, I would not wish to have even a weak light in the room.
Do you know if there are small boxes to integrate into an existing standard outlet (rather than changing the complete outlet) at the same prices of 20 €?
Thank you in advance.
Hello. No unfortunately the teekar do not allow the light to be turned off ...
For current switches and sockets, there is no module that fits into them. This would not be possible given the size of the back boxes. But for the switchd, a switchbot is a good alternative.
For the sockets, it is also possible to put a connected plug that has just put on the wall socket.
Hello,
It seems that the connection pb with the live box are quite frequent at the moment, and of various causes. The easiest way is to join us on the Facebook group Amazon Alexa & echo the alexians.
There is a good chance that your iPhone hooks up to 5 GHz and not 2.4 GHz. You must either separate the networks or make sure that the latter hooks up to 2.4.
Best regards.
So, it all depends on the brands… Indeed, we have presented two kinds. The Zemismart, for example, go out as soon as the command is executed: therefore ideal for bedrooms.
Hello,
Thank you for the tutorial, and thank you for your feedback!
I too have invested in SonOff equipment and the Ewelink app… Which switch did you use? I have heard of concerns regarding the "non-power" of the ascent motor during the descent and vice versa ... Have you taken this into account?
Goods.
Thierry
Hello and sorry for this late return.
The switch used for this test is a Teekar. In this case, since it is specially dedicated to this, no worries of not feeding. The power supply will be initiated for about 2 or 3 minutes and then turn off to allow time for the shutter to open or close and then not to leave it powered on.
Under Ewelink, a scenario to leave it on for several minutes and then turn it off could have the same effect.
Have a good day
Hello and thank you for the tutorial! I wanted to know how we do if we don't have a neutral wire? Is it suddenly impossible? Thank you
Hello,
without a neutral wire, this will not be possible because it will allow the switch to be supplied continuously but also to operate the motor. If a roller shutter is already in place, it must be present ... Otherwise, see to get one.
Hello, from my Somfy motor I only have 3 wires: blue, brown, and yellow / green.
I succeeded in knowing my smart life to wifi and I activate the buttons that light up with my iphone, but it does not open the shutters.
I tried to put brown in L1 or L2, ditto for yellow / green.
Thank you for your help.
Hello Antonio,
The problem is that unfortunately this type of switch does not work with shutters that require a remote control. You absolutely need a neutral and two phase returns (and possibly earth) ... With Somfys, one of the phase returns is missing ...
Hello,
I have 4 electric roller shutters each with its wired wall socket to raise or lower the shutter: the shutter goes down as long as you press the down button and stops if you release the pressure but I also have a wired centralized control which controls the 4 rolling shutters. I think these switches work like back and forth. Can the type of switch you are talking about work with this setup?
Thank you
No, these switches are not suitable for two-way assemblies because they must be permanently powered due to their Wi-Fi module.
Hello, I cannot connect a 4th roller shutter switch, this one is well found by my iPhone and at the end of the loading for the connection a message tells me that it is not possible to connect ... 've tested on another shutter closer to the box to see if it came from the wifi but nothing to do. The switch still operates manually. Could it be a wifi fault on this one?
Hello Sebastian,
Indeed, given the fact that the problem relates to only 1 single switch, identical to the others, the procedure being the same, it seems that it is a problem resulting from the device.
The after-sales service should be able to change it without any problem.
Hi
i just installed it and it works backwards. Do I have to reverse the black wire and the brown one?
Hello Trids,
Yes indeed, there is an inversion between the two threads. They must therefore be reversed.
Ok it's corrected, but following the plan everything is reversed.
please
Hello,
I have a switch that no longer works from my app.
The switch is physically functional and worked fine yesterday.
My other 2 switches work correctly physically and from the app.
On the one that no longer works from the app, I have the top light flashing dark blue and sky blue .. and I can no longer pair it ..
Do you have any idea to pair it manually? I tried the above procedure .. but nothing to do. it does not work .
Thank you for your help,
Automatic re-pairing with a continuous press on the top button and my switch is re-synchronized.
Goods.
Hello,
Thank you for your great tutorial.
I successfully installed on google home.
However, when I ask for the instructions: hey google turns on the living room shutter, I have the message this device has not been configured yet.
Do you know why please?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
Unfortunately, as you have surely noticed, we are specialized Alexa... We have nothing against Google Home, but not using it at all, we are unable to provide you with an answer regarding this voice assistant. Are you certain of your order?
Sorry I can't help you anymore, try your luck on the Google Home France group on Facebook. It is a very active and friendly community.
cordially
Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
I succeeded by removing the shutter and reinstalling it.
Thanks again.
Bonne journée.
Hello,
Do you know if it is possible to recover only the micromodule without the front face, in fact I want to keep my celiane switch and only put the micromodule in parallel in a special home automation module box.
Is it the pressure on the "springs" that triggers the movement?
Thank you
Hello JB.
The modules are quite easily removable. On the other hand, it is the fact of coming to touch the spring that activates the system. It works with the fingers without a facade, so we are under physical pressure. the Teepao do not have springs but a system of "buffers" which must also be subjected to pressure ...
Hello, this is nikel beautiful tutorial thank you but I have a little question I have a shutter (awning) that works with a remote control so what can I install so that it works with alexa? the switch is wrong !!
Hello,
Thank you. The ideal would probably be to go through a Broadlink RM Pro + type hub, which in addition allows you to control many other devices, but it all depends on the technology used by your store. In RF, no problem, the buh can be placed inside, not too far from the blind. In IR, it is immediately more complicated, because infrared rays do not cross obstacles.
Hello,
Very good tutorial!
I succeeded in installing the switch (ROHS) that I named "living room curtain" and configured since Alexa the routines:
Open the shutter,
Close the shutter,
I created a “Curtain stop” routine on Smart Life, which I ask Alexa to execute when I ask him to "stop the shutter"
I have created everything since my smartphone and I execute all actions from the application Alexa du smartphone without problem.
When I switch to voice command, the shutter opens and closes but the “stop the shutter” routine does not work, I have in response:
"I didn't find anything titled shutter that can play music… .."
Where is my mistake?
thank you in advance for your help
Hello,
RoHS is a regulation, like CE, not a mark. 😉
As for the routine, it is simply related to the use of the word "stop" which is reserved for multimedia playback.
Try with "Stop the shutter", as in our example, it should work.
Good afternoon!
Great, that's it, everything works fine
thank you and good evening
Hello I have electric shutters,
So I wanted to replace my current switch with the same ones connected as in the tutorial.
So I have 4 wires + the already existing earth, a big brown power supply phase, a second thinner brown for the shutter, a big black for the neutral power supply and a thinner black for the shutter return.
So big chestnuts in L
Big black in N
End of chestnuts in L1
Fine black L3
The switch turns on correctly I control it with my phone, but it does not control the shutter motor at all I tried to reverse L1 and L3 it is the same.
My engine is working properly.
The switch is new I can't really see what's wrong.
Hello Julien.
Does your shutter have 4 or 3 wires? From the shutter, the neutral and the two phase returns (L1 and L3) and potentially the earth are needed. Coming from the electrical circuit, you need the neutral, the phase and potentially the earth. If you have 4 wires coming from the shutter, the problem surely comes from there, because it is made for the shutters with 3 wires + earth ...
When they speak of 4 sons in the spec, they include the earth ...
Hi,
I disassembled the front of my switch and when I reassembled it the top light started to flash and my switch disappeared from Smart Life.
I press the top button for 20 seconds so that it flashes faster, I authorize wifi access to my box, in Smart Life I click on the +.
I don't have "wall switch" but "switch" and "switch (ZigBee), so I tried the 2.
With "switch": the app asks me if the light is flashing = Ok
I connect to the 2.4ghs wifi
Connection n cours = and there "Failed to add"
I try with "Switch (ZigBee): request to configure the gateway
Ask if indicator light is flashing = OK
switch search = No device to connect
A solution for me?
thank you in advance
I found thanks to the goat's butt!
My switch is from the Creatck brand. I specify it because the person who gave me the solution had the same problem with his switch which is of the same brand.
For those to whom this will happen, just unplug the box and plug it back in after 30s.
Pairing is then possible again.
Our community is fantastic! Thank you for the feedback. 🙂
Hello,
I am renovating an apartment and I put roller shutters controlled by remote control. Can I still put this style of switch? Or is it not compatible with the remote?
Hello Virginia,
No, unfortunately this type of switch does not work with shutters operating by remote control. In this case, it is better to start on RF relays like the Broadlink.
Hello ,
I correctly connected my 3rd generation switch without problem, it works very well in manual. I am in 2.4 Ghz on my box, and like smartphone a Samsung S7. when I run the manipulation to connect the switch to smart life, the top LED flashes for a moment then turns solid green, and no element detected in smart life.
Do you have a troubleshooting solution?
in advance thank you very much
Hi,
Your switch is obviously not in pairing mode. Press the middle (or top) button for about 15 seconds and repeat the operation. The procedure is explained in commentary I think.
Good night,
Hello ,
thank you for your quick feedback on the subject.
indeed the manipulation is explicit. I carry out according to this procedure, keeping the middle button pressed, until the top light flashes quickly. At the same time, I launch the app.
after a few seconds the indicator light turns solid green and the application has not synchronized anything.
for indication, the LED is already solid green when the switch is powered on, is this normal?
Thanks for your feedback
cordially
Thanks for the tutorial. I just invested in a dot echo and one of my goals was to automate my shutters. With your article I am reassured on the realization of the installation.
Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
Thank you for the tutorial on the other hand I have a problem my shutter goes up but at the end of the race the switch does not stop I hear the motor force while it is up. Same thing for the descent forced to stop in the middle switch or with application. No way to program a limit switch. An advice???
Thank you for the tutorial on the other hand I have a problem my shutter goes up but at the end of the race the switch does not stop I hear the motor force while it is up.

Hello I have installed roller shutter switches Connected everything works perfectly, Everything is managed by the application Smart Life, I would have liked to know how to have the status of the shutters on the application when I am not at home?
Just open the app Smart Life. This is a cloud service, so you can control them over Wi-Fi or over the mobile network wherever you are (as long as you have a connection, of course). 🙂
Hello again, when I talk about status, it is mainly their postions that I was talking about knowing if they are open or closed for example, function available on eWeLink I believe 🙂
??
Hello,
No actually, to date, nor SmartLife ni Alexa do not let you know at a glance whether a shutter is closed or open.
thank you for the answer
cordially
Hello, I managed to create the scenario in smart life but I don't see it when I try to create a routine.
Thanks for your help
It must logically go up as a "scene". Did you activate the skill? Also try to find new equipment, Alexa will also find any scenes that have not yet been edited. 🙂
Hello,
Thank you very much for this tutorial. Everything is working fine for me and Alexa : )
Just a quick question, in the Google Home app I can see the switch but I can't control it, do you have the same problem?
Sincerely, Jérôme
Hello,
Sorry, we are only interested in Alexa and cannot answer you.
Bonne fin de journée
hello, I had installed and everything worked perfectly except that black and brown were reversed. I therefore inverted these 2 wires but since the switch has disappeared from tuya smart. and there it is impossible to get it recognized. it flashes quickly but when I want to connect it is blocked and nothing happens when I am on the connection page (network and wifi password ok.)
mon smartphone with which besides I managed to connect another roller shutter and 2 sockets without worries displays wifi 2.4 and 5 but when I go on the config of the free delta I see that it is on the 5! is this the reason why I can no longer configure it and how do I force it to use the network in 2.4? thank you
Hello Bruno,
Indeed, you have to be in 2,4 GHz. If the Box offers two networks, the phone must be connected to the 2,4 GHz network and then configure the shutter. Otherwise, you must cut the 5 GHz time to redo the pairing.
thank you JC. I suspected it a little but as the first time there was no need to do the slightest manipulation, it seemed strange to me, especially as the smartphone on 5 Ghs controls the other shutter very well (which also works perfectly with alexa).
That was fine except that on the Freebox delta which has 3 wifi cards, it is impossible to disconnect them separately. with a little luck and many restarts my tel is put on 2.4 ghz a few minutes before going back to 5Ghz. that was enough for me to connect the switch everything is ok!
Hello,
I have the same problem as Gazengel in his message of September 10, 2019 at 22 h 18 min. No limit switch, the motor continues to run at the top and bottom limit switches. I reassembled my old inter Bubendorff and it works. I have a red and a blue thread, plus a black and a brown one. I don't understand what the problem is, can someone help us?
Thank you for your answers
Cdt
Hello,
Regarding the deactivation of the blue leds I found 2 solutions:
-The first affordable by everyone: you remove the removable front panel and you put an opaque and thin sheet of paper behind and go back up. Choose an opacity that still allows closed shutters localization.
-The second is to put a wifi switch (sonoff relay) which cuts the general power supply to the shutters controlled by programming (sunrise, sunset, etc.) and an emergency ignition button for safety reasons.
I have another advice for you regarding the use of Wifi:
Cloud scenarios are the open door to all personal data theft. If you have Free or Orange (Bouygues and SFR do not have this functionality to my knowledge) create a "guest" network but only authorized to browse the net but without access to local network data. Give this wifi network as the network when pairing each IOT. Your IOTs will not be able to reach your data. Note that it is not necessary to connect the pairing machine to this same network to pair the IOT by the guest network, it can remain on the main wifi network.
hello can we order a blind (which is ordered by a remote control) with alexa ? what is the connection? thanks
Hello,
It all depends on your equipment. Is your remote control infrared or RF?
Good evening, thank you for this tutorial. I have my scenario reassembled as a scene in the application Alexa but when I add an action to the routine, in a connected home, I only have the choice between “all devices” or “control a group”. Can you help me?
Thank you
Hi,
I have installed 2 Etersky switches for configurable roller shutters with smartlife or TuyaSmart.
Via the application I can act on it. Via Alexa I can open and close by voice.
On the other hand, in a connected house, I cannot have the Switch group as Lights. So I can't create a routine because when I click on connected home it only finds the lights and not my switches. How to do ?
Hello,
Maybe you can find them in the group "switches" or "others"?
Have a good day
Same problem!!!
Did you manage to fix it?
Hello, I am annoyed.
To stop the shutter, I managed to create the scenario on smartlife and bring up the scene in the application Alexa but when I want to create the routine, in the actions I don't have to "control a scene"! in connected home, I only have "all devices" and control a group ...
An idea ?
thank you in advance
Hello,
Try to update your app Alexa, that is not normal.
Good Sunday
Hello Ju, you must select in actions "connected home", "control a scene". this is indeed present. Is the application up to date?
Hello,
Thank you very much for this tutorial which enlightened me a lot, I recently own an echo plus and roller shutter switches.
After some difficulties, I managed to get my inters in smart life and create the shutters opening and closing routines by Alexa, individual and global for 4 components currently.
I also created shutters opening / closing pause scenarios in smart life. These scenarios have been recognized in the application alexa (I can run them in alexa via the list of routines that I created for each shutter) but impossible to interrupt the descent or raising of a shutter by voice command alexa which tells me that the device does not support the command in question. I should point out that during my first test with a single roller shutter, this type of routine worked perfectly. I will be able to live without this interrupt command but it annoys me because all my attempts are failures. If you have an idea, I'm interested!
In any case, thank you for your work, it's a mine for neophytes ...
friendships
Hello Thierry,
Thanks for your feedback ! 😀
For the moment, Smart Life reassembles the roller shutters as switches, hence the need to do routines ... Try to change the sentence because in view of the answer you give Alexa, this command must be dedicated to roller shutters recognized as such. Be careful to spell each sentence correctly because Alexa translates our voice commands to text and a simple difference letter will prevent him from choosing the routine.
Happy Holidays !
Hello to all the team
Thank you and well done for this super detailed tutorial!
Very good work 😉
Good parties of New Year…
Thank you for this feedback, it's always nice! 😀
Excellent end of year celebrations too. 🙂
Hello. I have a Homecube Curtain Switch. I installed it as indicated in the instructions. Everything works perfectly. Only problem I can not create routines on Alexa to be able to stop my roller shutter during operation. That is, I would like to be able to close or open it halfway without having to press the switch button or log into the app. How to create these famous routines? I am using the app through the iPhone. Thank you. Regards
Hello,
You need to create a scenario in the application Smart Life if your switch allows it. Then you can use it routinely in Alexa to customize the voice command. Unfortunately, it is far from possible on all.
Happy end of the year
Same problem the scenario is of course created on smart Life and I find it of course Alexa but as soon as I ask Alexa it does not work !!! No problem asking Alexa to open and close the curtains but impossible to ask him to stop it !!!! ????
Check the spelling, Alexa is very straddling it, or try changing the sentence to see if it is not from the term used.
Hello everybody
I just installed 2 teepao on identical somfy brand shutters.
On the first everything works fine.
On the second shutter when I press the button to open the shutter it closes and vice versa. This causes a problem when I have indicated to Alexa to close the shutters.
Do you know how to reverse the direction of rotation of the shutter or just the teepao.
thank you in advance
Hello,
You must have reversed the threads… 🙂
Have a good day
Hello, do you know if there is a connected module which does not have a switch but which has the same functions. I explain to myself I would like to keep my existing switches (question of uniformity) but place a module behind to control my roller shutters via smartlife. I hope I was clear to be understood and helped 🙏
Thanks in advance 😁😁
Hello,
You should be able to do this with modules like the Sonoff Mini.
Have a good day
Hello,
impossible to do a routine in smart life. I go to "scenario" then + but I find myself on a page »create smart »With the options: type to run, weather, location, times, device status… nothing else.
Hello,
These are routines. Look at our captures, they will help you make the right choices.
Good luck
Thank you, but the page I go to after pressing scenario is completely different. It must necessarily come from an update of the app. I went on youtube which offers a tutorial (in English) to do exactly what you say with smart life and indeed everything works as you indicate. For me on the other hand, the first page is identical, but after having pressed on scenario in the middle in bottom and + in top on the right, I end up with »to create smart At the top and a list:
_type to run
_when the weather changes
_when the place changes
_time programming
_when the device status changes
I thought I installed the wrong app (a lot of Chinese apps are very similar) but it's good smart life by tuya with the same logo.
I complete my answer: According to some reviews on Google play, the ability to pause the shutters is no longer supported. The problem therefore comes from a new update. If you have any other idea to make this work, please let us know.
Thanks again !!!
Hello,
Smartlife correctly detects my connected shutter switches and alexa equally.
However, the application smartlife seems to have had an update because I can not find what you show in the photo.
When I click that scenario at the bottom it opens a page for me where I have the choice between "execute" or "automation".
When I click on execute and on the + in order to create a vocal scenario (via alexa thereafter) it only offers me: type to execute / if weather changes / if the place changes / time programming / when the status of the device changes.
What should I choose knowing that in my case it is so that they open or close when I say a sentence to Alexa.
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
I confirm. I have the same problem as you. This is indeed a update of the app
Hello my etersky switches are well recognized in smart life but alexa does not recognize them even in 2.4 GHz
Do you have the solution to this problem?
Hello,
Thank you for all these precious tutorials.
Is there something that explains the price difference between the Etersky (37 euros both) and the Zemismart (58 euros for both), please?
I have the same problem alexa does not recognize switches
Hello,
Difficult to say, it all depends on the models. If the Zemismart are more expensive, it is probably that they call for components a little more qualitative. Nonetheless, the Eterskys seem to work perfectly well, with many members on our Facebook community use them and we've never had bad feedback.
Hello,
Try to start a detection of new devices. If the problem persists, deactivate then reactivate the skill Smart Life from your app Alexa and restart a detection.
Good luck and good Sunday
It doesn't work sorry
Good evening. Do you have a solution to my concern following a update? smart life?
Thoneick, I did a skill alexa And it works very well. But since the update of smartlife last month, we can no longer stop the shutter during operation. The shutter opens or closes entirely
Did a skill? Yourself?
If so, I'm not good enough for that.
I don't know what to do since smartlife has changed ...
I should rather have said "routine" and not "skill"
We must not go through smartlife but by the application alexa. It's very simple: you create 2 new routines with the sentences open / close the shutters and to "add an action" you select the on / off switch
I just did a routine alexa. It works by clicking on routines from my phone but not when I ask alexa (to voice). I don't see what is wrong.
Do you have an idea?
Have you made it known to alexa the shutter switch by searching for new devices on the application alexa ? If not, try another sentence for example: »open / close shutter show» At the bottom of the routine, at “action” make sure that you have set your shutter switch to “on” to open the shutter and “off” to close it . If that doesn't work, clear the power switch. alexa and smartlife, reinstall it on both and try with different sentences.
Hi
I created the routine to stop the ascent or descent of the shutters and cala works very well Thank you… On the other hand, by speaking loudly enough, we can open the shutters from the outside… What I don't want! Do you have a solution ?
Thank you
Hello,
No, unfortunately we have no solution at this time. Amazon work on the system Alexa Guard, already available in English, which will allow this type of device to be associated with voice recognition. In other words, someone outside your home will not be able to place this type of order.
Thank you. To circumvent the problem temporarily, are there small remote controls which would allow opening / closing scenarios of several roller shutters for example (by deactivating the voice part of the scenario)
Hello,
Is it possible to separate the curtains to control only one at a time.
For example : " Alexa open the bedroom shutter »
Goods.
Hello,
Yes, of course, you have to rename each switch to suit in the corresponding app and then in Alexa.
For example: "Bedroom shutter". Then you can customize the voice command via a routine like in our example.
Have a good day
Hello, On the app SmartLife, in the settings of the button, at the top of the window, there is a "trip time" parameter to configure which must correspond to the running time of the shutter to open or close
Hi
I cannot adjust the "stop" of my bay window shutter with Alexa. She does not understand… she told me several items called bay window shutter which one do you want? I answer her stop and she gets upset and says nothing more ...
However I followed your tutorial I do not know what to do ... please helpppp
Hello,
Try to change the term… "Stop" is a command that stops Alexa. She does not take offense, rest assured, but never responds and is happy to stop the actions in progress. 🙂
Hi
It doesn't work, still the same problems. I think your tutorial is no longer quite correct because there must have been updates to the application smart Life. When you create the automation of the scene, I don't have the same things.
Dance Alexa also when I program the routine and the scene you are indicated "turn on" and I "scene"
🙁
I don't know how to send you my screenshots?
Hello,
"Light up" is the name we gave to the scene in Smart Life and which goes back under this name in Alexa.
Apart from some purely cosmetic changes, Smart Life still works the same way. 🙂
Good luck
Hello, I complete your tutorial with this that I also shared about the product Amazon because I fought a lot 🙂
To pause the shutter via voice, you need to create a scenario in Smart Life and run it by Alexa, it is called in Alexa a scene ". Once the scenario has been created in Smart Life, I did not see the management of the scenes in Alexa. You must in fact activate its discovery by going to Menu> Add a device> Other and it will find your scene and add it to the devices allowing it to be controlled by voice.
To put the switch in configuration mode, hold down the up or down button for 6-7 seconds. The fly will go up (or down), the button will stay on while you press and it will go out when it's ready to be configured. You will see that it flashes very lightly, go ahead you can make the pairing with Smart Life.

Hello
My roller shutters are already controlled by top and bottom radio wall switches with stop function in the middle.
Obviously, they act as a remote transmitter of a frequency activating the on / off receiver integrated into the engine.
of the roller shutter.
Can I integrate the system Alexa to order them orally? If so, could you give me instructions for the installation and the hardware I need to purchase? I own Alexa box rode gray color with circular blue light when called.
in advance, thank you for your answer
cordialement,
Hi,
Difficult to answer you like that, you should know the protocol used by your shutters or at least the brand of these to get an idea.
Many are now compatible, but not all of course.
Good night
Bonsoir
for the routine "stop the shutters" I do not have the choice "Control a scene". did I miss a step?
Hi
Like many of us I have wire problems… I have a blue, a brown and a black however I have an earth but it is cut flush with the sheath. I succeeded in powering the switch but c all. However, I have a socket cover at the top of my wall at the height of the motor where there are a lot of wires and dominoes, I won't have to put the switch at the top of the wall 😅 even if I have to leave it there. old down? Because what disturbs me is this red wire that I see on all the diagrams but that I do not have at the height of my switch.
Thank you in advance for your answer
Hello and thank you for this great tutorial.
At home it works very well on one of the 2 shutters of my living room.
The problem is that the connections on the 2 control units are not the same.
Left side, normal connection, right side it is a box, wireless (Bubendorf CR2032).
All the threads are linked together by dominals.
How should I make my connection?
I hope you can help me.
Looking forward to reading you.
Best regards.
Hello,
It will be blindly complicated. Try to replicate the change from the first.
What is the exact reference of your switch? Because CR2032 is the model of the battery… 😉
Good Sunday
Hello, I want to create a scenario to lower the shutter for 15 seconds if the thermometer indicates 23 ° I managed to do it with 2 scenarios closing if time is over 23 and if 23 ° then pause of 15s and pause on the shutter. But 1 minute later the temperature is still 23 and suddenly it drops again, so it is totally closed. Can you tell me the trick so that it is executed only once a day when the best of the best it has the right to be executed again if the temperature has fallen below 1 °.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
You have to go to the condition of "at any time" then "delete during" and define the duration of your choice, but you will not be able to define multiple conditions, it would be necessary to use a home automation software such as Home Assistant.
Have a good day
Hello. I created the scene on smartlife but via "type to execute" because otherwise I have "if weather forecast changes", "location changes", "time schedule", "app status changes".
I find the scene well on alexa by searching for a device. I create my routine but alexa tells me: the device does not support this command.
I specify that I did not click
on the switch so that it flashes because it has already been recognized for a while by alexa. Do I still have to click on it?
Hello, after days of hardship it is finally working.
FYI, I had changed my internet provider and therefore my box and I had to dissociate wifi 2.4 from 5Ghz in the settings of my box. Then I connect to the 2.4 network (which I renamed to better differentiate them). Activation of association mode on my switches. Search for my equipment via smartlife by selecting "wifi switch".
Once detected I go on alexa, I'm looking for my switches. Once found, I created my routines and everything worked.
Hello,
There are indeed 3 wires, no problem. Colors are indicative. Blue will surely be the neutral coming from the shutter.
Hello,
Once the scene is created, you have to do a routine under Alexa for example: " Alexa, stop the shutter »and come to choose scene, activate. It should work.
I copy a routine that worked, modify it and everything is ok.
However, the time thatalexa stop the shutter, it is already at the bottom 😂
Hello,
I bought 6 inter for shutter, all worked well, until the day when I changed operator, and unable to reconnect, impossible to reset? but device are they dead !,
what to do thank you
Hello Maron,
The switches must be returned to pairing mode by pressing the up or pause button for 15 to 20 seconds. It does a reset. You must then start the installation again.
Hello, I ordered a set of 4 maxcio roller shutter switch connected until now the 4 worked correctly but since yesterday I understand there is one that lights up all in red I can unplug it and reconnect it. remains all in red and does not want to do anything even when trying to reset it remains beautiful and well blocked in the red position and does not even work by activating it manually do you have a solution?
Hello,
It looks like a problem with the placement of the faceplate, it is possible that a spring is making undue contact. Try to remove it and put it back in place. 🙂
I just did it and even take the facade of another and its still remains red and nothing works
Hello,
Either your problem is with the switch springs, or it is a loose contact in your wires. Last option: the switch is simply out of order.
Good luck 🙂
Hello, thank you for the tutorial on my side I use googlehome and everything works correctly. I just have one question, I installed 4 shutter switches connected so that I could close all the shutters on the ground floor. No worries, I created my routines and everything works perfectly with google home via voice or via smartlife. I would like to know if there is on the market a switch connected preferably on battery which would allow me to have a physical button to execute the opening of the 4 shutters and the closing?
have a good day
Hello,
On battery, you have to look towards the ZigBee ... You therefore need a compatible bridge Smart Life and create automation with the four shutters.
Have a good day
Hello, I have installed the same switches at home and I notice that there is a crackle in the background. Do you have the same?
Hi,
No, no worries about us. Check your connection, do not hesitate to tighten it well.
To be more precise, it is more a wave noise from wifi modules. In fact I have 2 switches side by side in a corner and I can hear it quite loudly. On the other hand another switch in another room you have to stick your ear to hear it. If you glue your ear can you hear something? Apparently on Amazon several people encounter this problem.
No, not really, but I did hear him say ... It seems that sometimes you need to put a small capacitor, but I could not tell you more.
Sorry.
Hello,
I bought a switch on Aliexpress to control my roller shutters to replace another that works under Ewelink but I think it is more compatible with Google home.
I install Smartlife and recognized and install without problem.
Except that Google home recognizes it but I cannot control them with… ..
Ideas ?
No matter how much I dissociate and reconnect the account, nothing to do ...
I have the same concerns as with Ewelink
Hello,
Is your roller shutter recognized as a “store” in Google Home?
If so, you will need:
This should solve your problem.
Hello
I have a centralized wireless control to control 4 roller shutters (as well as individual wireless controls).
I would like to pilot everything via my smartphone.
what is the solution?
please
Hello I installed 4 loratap shutter switches 2 months ago and they work via smart live yesterday I put 2 same switches back in my kitchen but no way to make them work via smart live, even smartphone, same switch, 2,4G why it does not work?
Good morning! I think it is necessary to do a Reset in this case. You must put the switches back in pairing mode and start the installation again.
Hello Alphonse, the shutters operating in radiofrequencies are always a little problematic. In any case, these switches do not go. It would be necessary to go through a remote control emulation system like the Rm Broadlink Pro which in addition goes back under Alexa. Some have done it for Somfys.
Hello, I installed this socket for my rolling shutters but it was not connected the shutters worked very well but since I connected them and the opening is done halfway on 2 shutters I have the impression that the tempo of the plugs and too short to make a full opening….
Hello no solution to my problem?
To tell the truth, we did not understand well… Sockets or switches? If it is indeed inters, yes, you can set a tempo. Test in Smart Life by increasing it just to get what you want.
Hello,
User of multiple products smartlife including 12 roller shutter switches, I have a problem with one: no problem to reopen / close from the physical switch, no more problem to open / close from the app. The concern: time programming. It worked perfectly, then overnight it becomes inoperative. Always works on the 11 other switches, only inoperative on 1.
Runtime error message: "Failed to detect the execution result of the scheduled task of" Pane ". Check the status of the network and the device ”. But in the wake of the error I test physically (no problem) and via the app (no problem) ...
Have you ever encountered the problem or will an idea come to you? 🙂
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
It is quite strange indeed. It is possible that by activating it manually you woke it up but it does not have sufficient signal.
Otherwise, try to reinstall the device and check the network coverage.
Have a good day
Bonjour.
I have a tuya plug smart life for a shutter.
The connection is correct it goes up and down.
The problem is that it does not make the whole race I have to press 3 times again to raise it or to lower it.
Can we correct this problem?
I would put it on WiFi when it already works digitally.
Hello,
It is probably linked to the fact that it is not installed precisely… 😉
Hello
I actually reset the switch for reinstallation. The prog is working again, but in the end I don't know if the problem came from the switch / app or the wifi coverage (which nevertheless seems good)… hoping that it does not go down.
There are sometimes mysteries… 😉
Normally even if not connected it should go down completely right?
I bought 9 shutter switches on Amazon of the Maxio brand every night from around midnight to around 6 o'clock the lights come on although to turn off the lights I press the central light for 6 seconds after a power cut. Because I am tripping all the components to the detriment of security. thank you in advance, truthfully yours.
Hello,
We are having a little trouble pinpointing your problem, we have not tested Maxcio models but never encountered this on others. Look at the lighting side which is surely configurable, this is the case on the most recent models. Are you cutting off the Wi-Fi? Because it could come from there too ...
Have a good day
Why not go through the app smartlife to turn off the lights ?? Works perfectly (NB: the Maxcio brand is a derivative of the Etersky brand, it is the same manufacturer, they are all functional under smartlife with exactly the same options)
They are all white Tuya brands indeed, which most often come out of the same factories, but there are countless models and not all of them have the same characteristics.
Hello
I bought shutter switches from Maxio. That works very well I'm very happy.
On the other hand, how can I do so that on my 3 bay windows in my living room two go down at the same time.
I go through Google Home.
please
Hello,
A Google Home routine can do this ... Example: "Ok, Google closes the living room" with three orderly closings in "The assistant must ..." / "Control lights, plugs ...". 🙂
Bonne fin de journée
Hello !
Thanks for this tutorial.
I will soon be buying wired RVs without installing any switches but just wifi switches located in the electrical inbox of each RV. I would have a remote control to control everything and also this app smartlife.
I use Google Assistant which is also able to read routines (or scenes) from other apps so that shouldn't be a problem.
My question is: is there a scheming that will allow in smartlife to create a scenario like "close the shutters at 80%"? Perhaps for example by making a scenario by powering the switches x seconds (after having made the calculation) which would correspond to 80% closure.
The idea would then be to trigger a scenario from google for that.
Thank you!
Hello !
Yes and no… Order 80% no, but we can play with the delay. Let me explain: you have to time the time taken by the shutter to get to this stage, and play with it. Example: if the shutter takes 5 seconds to close at 80%, you have to create a scenario that turns on and then stops after 5 seconds, then bring it up in GH and call it in a routine with the desired phrase. 🙂
A little painful, yes, but in the end, once it's done, it's done. 😉
Good afternoon
Hello editor,
I don't know if I can answer like that… in any case thank you!
And yes, that's what I wanted to do, I didn't manage to express myself well. In fact the basic question is above all to know if it was possible to make a scenario with management of a tempo, so a priori yes then everything is fine! Thank you bcp 🙂
Hello, do you think there is a way to control this device "manually" in the google home app (without going through voice commands or Smart life)? I am thinking of simple controls (open / close) in the google home app, a bit like many other connected objects
thank you in advance
It should do it, otherwise we'll find another solution! 🙂
Good evening! no, sorry, there is no such command in Google Home ...
Hello,
Here I have roller shutters in each room and a switch for centralized closing and opening of the whole house. I would therefore like to put a WIFI switch instead of the latter in order to control all the shutters at once.
however when I disassemble the switch, I only have 2 wires coming in: the neutral and the phase.
So is it possible for me to do what I want and if so how should I proceed?
thank you in advance for your answers - best regards
Hello,
I would like to set up this style of switch instead of a switch that controls all the shutters in the house: centralized closing and opening of the house.
however when I opened the switch I only saw 2 wires coming in behind: the neutral and the phase.
do you think that suddenly this installation is possible and if so what style of switch should I buy?
thank you in advance, truthfully yours
Hello. Great tutorial. Thank you for the info.
I am looking for a module to be embedded behind the original switches (celiane) for the aesthetic side. But not all of the ones I find allow you to stop the ascent or descent with the switch. Do you have a model to suggest to me? Thank you
Hi,
Via Wi-Fi Tuya /Smart Life, we find it. For example the Loratap micromodule, but it is necessary to pretend with scenarios including time delays. In Z-Wave, I think of Fibaro and for EnOcean from NodOn.
Hello !
This morning I installed my first wifi switch for a roller shutter. Nickel installation, added in smartlife, smart life added to Google.
2 questions:
- With Google Home, normal to only be able to control the switch by voice? When we click on it, we do not have access to the down up and pause buttons, we only have access to the room setting.
However, when I control it by voice, these buttons appear on my Google Nest Hub. It is because they exist! But impossible to see them without triggering with the voice?
- Also, the direction is reversed! When I say open it closes and vice versa. The meaning is indeed the right one in smartlife, the wiring also because at the beginning I had put it upside down and I had to reverse the direction of rotation in smartlife. But I have it recable to put it in order. Yet Google is reversed… Is it a bit annoying and I don't really want to create routines for each of my sections? An idea ?
Thank you for your help !
Hello,
Apparently this is a recurring problem on Google Home lately, so the bug is with the assistant, not the product. We do have the concern on Nest Hub, not on an Echo Show with Alexa… For the second problem, try to remove it from GH, rename in Smart Life and get detected again.
Good luck 😉
Thank you editor 🙂
So for the first "problem" let's hope that an update will correct all that.
For the second problem, yesterday I tried everything: Smart life and google are always reversed no matter what I do (whether I reverse the cables, reverse in the app, dissociate and reconnect smartlife) ...
Maybe this is normal? That is to say that when we tell Google to open, well it sends an “unfold” order and vice versa, which is the opposite of what we want. With a routine it corrects all that but hey it's not great.
Normal, I don't think so… It's surprising, it's the first time I've seen such a problem, but clearly it seems to come from GH or at least from the link between Tuya and Google. I will inquire. Good luck. 😉
Hello ! I come once again to give news 😉
I installed my 4 VR, and I restarted the association of the modules a smart life from the start: reset of the module already installed, installation of the 3 others, change of account smart life.
Well… The orders with Google home are always reversed. I have to say open to close and vice versa. Smart life works perfectly and my cables are ok.
A cool thing is that smart life manages the opening percentage. At 0% it is closed, at 100% it is completely open.
So I tried this on Google, in the closed position: set the shutter to 30%. And there, he opens the shutter at 30% and he answers: I open the shutter at 30%
It is therefore not totally upside down !!
Anyway it's nothing to understand.
So I created 2 routines for each component (2 scenarios in smart life called by 2 Google routines) to balance the “close” instruction if Google intends to close and vice versa to force it.
Not super top 🙁
Hello,
Indeed, it is more than weird, but it is the proof that the problem thus comes from Google!
The routines are a good “patch” in the meantime, hoping that all of this will be sorted out soon… 😉
Yeah, I'm not really convinced.
Another problem: the app offers to calibrate the flaps (start of travel> end of travel).
I did that on all my shutters, nickel. Except 1 shutter: it does not go up completely (there is 20cm outside)
I have repeated the procedure 25 times but it does not work.
Isn't there a way to completely reset a switch? Because the config are saved on the server despite a reset with the button on the module.
For this concern, I am dry, I can not find a solution. As he thinks the shutter is completely open (0% out), he goes back up with the buttons and nothing.
It's starting to tire me a bit, and I'm starting to believe that these modules don't work very well.
You have to remove it from the application and then press and hold one of the two buttons… Normally, it should be reset. But hey, Tuya has its limits, it's still a little cheap home automation. 😉
Yes, I tried but hey!
Yes, given the price we pay there cannot be miracles every time 🙂
Is there a more reliable alternative to your knowledge of the modules I have used (MOES Module for VR)?
I'll start looking.
Here it is ... 😉
Micromodules are indeed a good option, but again everything will depend on the platform. In home automation, especially for openings, it is interesting to look at the ZigBee or Z-Wave.
Hello, same pb. It seems that the limit switch is related to the motor and the bubendorf switch. So are there products compatible with this limit switch detection and alexa ?
Hello ! if that can help Xavier: I took Somfy wired. In need, it is necessary to adjust the start and end of travel with the buttons on the motor and using the switch. At first, I therefore settled that with the wired switch. Once adjusted and locked, it no longer moves because it is physically linked to the engine. Then, I put the wifi micro module in place but I left the switch in parallel. This allowed me to adjust the start and end of travel in the app (calibration): Basically in high 0% and low 100% position, depending on my adjustment that I had made on the engine directly. Once done and tested I turn the switch in parallel and it's ok.
Despite that, after checking, each of my shutters remains a little out, not annoying except the last one which remains out of 20cm.
I do not know if your system is the same, but if so then I advise you to make the adjustment without a micro module at first
Hello,
I intervene not to answer but to enlighten all those who would ask the same question and I would go over a little on network security:
There are several diagrams but yours is as follows:
-the phone sends commands and receives statuses from the server
-the command button does its job locally, receives commands and returns reports to the server
we can see that everything goes through the internet and never directly between the phone and the button so the 2 can (and must see below) be on different physical networks
- when you have paired your button to the box, you have given a wifi password: the problem is there
as you are the lucky owner of a livebox you can distinguish in the setup of your box different passwords in 2.4 and 5 Ghz but you can still do better (freebox owners too) and it is even recommended by the FBI in the US you declare I say not one but several guest WiFi networks in 2.4 (and 5 Ghz if it is useful) to partition your local networks by adding for each one a barrier of access to the data of your networks by deleting the 'attribute "access to network data". Thus the servers of our distributed home automation garden on the internet as they want but not in our private data and in addition they cannot know each other locally as co-managers of your home automation. The fact of putting different passwords incidentally removes any ambiguity for the choice of 2.4 vs 5 Ghz even if the SSID remains common. For other reasons, especially with Apple, this is the right thing to do.
Best regards.
PS: Orange and Free could do even better when it comes to managing guest wifi. I advise you to destroy the real guest network each time you add a home automation guest network and then recreate the real guest network because the encrypted code (the one that we make friends read), displayed on the page of home of the TV, is the last created!
PS I had the same pb as you with an iPad and 2 iPhones, I searched, the answer is that Apple has a rather complex strategy to choose a Wifi network and switch carriers when the conditions are bad.
I found this on the Orange forum but it has nothing to do in our case unless it disrupts the connection with the server which is wrongly interpreted here as an impossibility of dialoguing with the switch.
… For the owners of budendorff roller shutters controlled by KingArt wifi buttons I put on the photovoltaic forum in the presentation of the company buderndroff a procedure for adjusting the limit switches seen by budendorff and KingArt.
cordially
Hello,
I have 2 electric roller shutters side by side and I wanted to install 2 Loratap wifi boxes.
The 1st works perfectly with 4 wires: Neutral / Live / Rise / Fall (they say not to connect the earth wire which I therefore left plugged in where it was already connected.
For the 2nd, it's another story, I find in the junction box:
2 Neutrals / 2 Phase / 1 Up / 1 Down and 2 Earth ...
I think that the shutters are therefore mounted in series and that the duplicate is therefore the power supply of the other ...
Problem once plugged in, the 1st shutter which was working still works correctly.
The 2nd shutter via the original switch only allows you to lower it (it does not go up any more) while via the app Smartlife it responds perfectly well to all commands (up, down and stop)
Another problem noted: when I test the 2 shutters in a group via the app, the 2 are reversed in direction (one goes up and the other goes down ... I can invert the wires on a switch, the problem remains the same …!)
Finally, in this installation I did not touch the original earth wire and they are therefore connected but not to my wifi boxes ...
Can someone please help me with:
- that I find the up direction via my original switch (which therefore only works in descent on my 2nd shutter only, the other working very well)
- that the 2 shutters are no longer reversed when used in a group via the wifi app
Maybe the 2 problems are related elsewhere….?!
A big thank you in advance to who will give me the solution 🙂
Have a good day !
Bonjour.
Little by little, I equip it with devices connected via Alexa. Your site is very useful to me. I have owned etersky roller shutter controls for over a year. Recently, I have a stuck button with the 3 red diodes on. Unable to reset. Do you have an idea of the problem ?
thank you in advance
Hello,
First, try to dissociate it from the application, and possibly leave it unpowered for a while, then resume its installation procedure. 🙂
Good luck
Hello,
I have a bubendorff roller shutter only with rf remote control (it dates from about 20 years) you mentioned above of a broadlink RF wifi module. would this module be compatible with my remote control?
Goods.
Hello,
In general, this does not work, with manufacturers opting for rolling codes for security reasons.
Good night
Hello,
I connected shutters on Moeshouse modules, after having struggled a bit for the calibration on Smart life everything is working fine but there is still a small problem ...
If we stop the descent or the rise by jerk using the native descent up button, the module is adjusted and the positions are shifted. Is there a way to lock the settings?
Hello,
There are unfortunately so many Tuya models that it's hard to tell you, we haven't been faced with the situation. 🙁
Maybe you should consult the seller?
Good luck and have a good weekend! 🙂
Hello,
I have 8 Somfy roller shutters with adjustable limit switch on the motor, controlled by King Art G4 switches on ewelink.
The problem on 2 of them, if I close halfway, the shutter will not go up completely, to do this I have to completely close, wait for the relay to click in the switch in order to then be able to reassemble it entirely. And without this "reset" the problem is getting worse every day.
Do you have a solution, do you think of a fault in these two switches?
Thanking you
Hello,
being interested in putting a switch connected because when buying the shutter I did not want a remote control but I do not notice that I have the alternative of the connected switch. On the other hand on the shutter button I only have 3 wire: phase - brown and black for descent and ascent.
is it still possible to put a connected switch? because you say that it is absolutely necessary the neutral… .how can I do ??? thank you in advance, truthfully yours
Hello,
Unfortunately, we have not yet come across a solution for this kind of case. You must either transplant a neutral at the level of the engine, or use a radio switch because even if you do not have a remote control, it obviously is. The protocol will depend on the brand of your roller shutter.
Have a good day
thank you for your reply
but what do you mean by transplanting a neutral at the level of the engine? (I am serious beginner…) or just that there is a neutral at the level of the switch (which arrives from a bulb for example) and that goes back to the table ?? Where can I find a diagram of what I can do? have a good day
The motor necessarily has a neutral, so the idea is to connect another wire to it to "recover" it because the connected switches necessarily need it. However, you can actually transplant it elsewhere. Regarding wiring, I invite you to turn to sites specializing in electricity, we are not at all in the business, or even better to join our Facebook group where certain members who are much more enlightened than us on the question will be able to answer you. 😉
Have a good day
