External roller shutters are not only protection from the sun, the cold or noise from the street, but also an important element of modern window joinery, which affects the comfort and safety of the residents. By choosing the right control system for external roller shuttersand, we can significantly improve the convenience of their use.
In this blog post, we will take a look at the various possibilities offered by modern technology in this area.

The simplest and cheapest solution is the manual control of the external roller shutter. This involves manually raising and lowering the roller blind using a tape or crank. Although this is an economical option, in houses with a large number of windows it may not be very practical. In addition, it requires physical exertion, which can be cumbersome for older people.
Electric, hard-wired external roller shutter control
The second option, which is much more convenient, is the electric roller shutter control. In this case, the roller shutter is equipped with a motor that can be operated via a button on the wall. This solution is more convenient, especially for large roller blinds that would be heavy to operate manually. This system requires a hard-wired installation, which is best planned during the construction or renovation phase to avoid the need to run additional cables.

Wireless control of the external roller shutter
Another step towards modernity is the wireless control of external roller shutters. Such a system is based on remote control by remote control, which eliminates the need to run wires. The roller shutters can be operated from anywhere in the house, which significantly increases comfort. In addition, many systems offer the possibility to programme the operation of the roller shutters, for example, to set automatic raising and lowering times, which is particularly useful if you want the roller shutters to protect your home while you are away.
Smartphone control and Smart Home integration of roller shutters
In the age of smart homes, smartphone control of external roller shutters is becoming increasingly popular. Thanks to special apps, the user can remotely control the roller shutters from anywhere in the world, giving full control of the home even when on holiday. In addition, the roller shutters can be integrated into a Smart Home system , allowing advanced scenarios to be created, such as automatically lowering the roller shutters at dusk when night falls, or synchronising with an alarm system for increased security.
Voice control of external roller shutters
New to the market is the control of roller shutters using voice commands. Thanks to integration with voice assistants such as Google Assistant, roller shutters can be easily raised and lowered by issuing simple voice commands. This solution fits perfectly with the idea of modern smart homes, where technology supports the everyday convenience of the users.
Control based on weather sensors
Sensor-based control systems for external roller shutters are also becoming increasingly popular . Weather sensors, such as sun, rain or wind sensors, can automatically adjust the position of the roller shutters depending on the weather conditions. When the sun starts to shine intensely, the roller blinds will automatically lower, protecting the interior of the house from overheating.
