Automate your shutters with Homey Pro
2 h€ 400 Calm
Let your shutters open and close automatically at sunrise and sunset. More comfort, less heat loss, zero manual effort.
Shutters that go up by themselves in the morning and come back down at sunset sound like a luxury, but they are easy to set up. With Homey Pro you can align the opening and closing with your daily routine, giving you comfort and keeping the warmth in. You need a Homey Pro controller, shutter motors that work with Z-Wave, Zigbee or 433 MHz, and the Homey app on your phone or tablet. Check the specifications of your shutters in advance to make sure they are compatible.
Pairing is done via 'Devices' in the app: add a new device, choose the right protocol and follow the instructions until your shutters appear. Then build your automations in the Flows section. Choose triggers such as sunrise or sunset and link actions to them such as opening or closing. Test the flow, adjust where needed, and from that point on your home takes care of the shutters so you no longer have to.
