I love it when somebody takes the time to do a demo that is clear concise and we can fully understand from start to finish. Sounds simple yeh, but in reality i spend half my day scrolling through the BS to get the one that actually gets the job done. **************Thank you Sir this is the one we've all been waiting for.****************

[@ktulinho]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful!!! I spent a lot of time looking at videos and searching online until I installed my first Shelly on a roller shutter.

[@chocker72]

This is exactly what I needed - Very helpful - I have now automated several of my shutters!

[@ktulinho]

I'm glad the video was useful! Thanks for watching!

[@Mariusz7100]

Wel done! You are good in teaching. All is understandable! Bravo!

[@ktulinho]

Thank you! 😃

[@sd3873]

Best tutorial for that so far! Thanks!

[@ktulinho]

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it!

[@cristinabajet]

This is super useful. One question: if I just have a remote control: what should I do? Can I connect it directly to the shutter?

[@8harim]

Is the roller shutter based on dc or ac. I am looking for DC bidirectional smart switch. Thanks a lot.

[@oferbar]

That was very helpful, thanks!

[@ktulinho]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful!

[@RUIMIGUELROCHA]

Excelente tutorial. Prático e explicativo. Permitiu-me a instalação de um shelly 2.5 com sucesso. Obrigado. Continua o bom trabalho.

[@ktulinho]

Muito obrigado! Ainda bem que foi útil :)

[@cristoforopontikas]

hello, great video, may i ask you if can use the same Shelly also for a sectional garage door? or you suggest to use the shelly plus 1? thanks

[@maorhadad1]

Thanks

[@albertj9462]

Thank you very much, very clear very good videos keep it up

[@ktulinho]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@noz3m]

Our shutters have a turning dial, left for down and right for up. will this also work?

[@joaotiagoSG]

Excelente video. Não sou nada de mexer em instalações deste tipo mas graças ao teu video consegui instalar shelly 2.5 em dois estores electricos. Obrigado

[@ktulinho]

Muito fixe! Eu também não percebia nada do assunto, mas a pouco e pouco fui experimentando! Obrigado pelo feedback!

[@burahmah]

Great video and love the way you explain things, My question is did you connect it to Apple Homekit? thanx

[@ktulinho]

You can do it with homebridge.io/

[@FranciscoPires-y9i]

Does this one allow going to 10% for example? Or just open/close?

[@titianrome]

Thanks for the video very clear. 2 question please. I have a blue neutral wire but not split as yours with connector, what should i do? Also would you advise how to connect also the lights? Inthe same socket of the roller shut swiths i have also the switch for the light

[@Haik0]

I have a Shelly 2PM Plus and I've got 4 wires coming in from my roller shutters. Would you please advise what are my options for wiering it? Thanks

[@williamcoenen8723]

I would imagine it's 2 load wires (up and down) and then line and neutral. Do you still need help with this?

[@jorgedanielcunha]

Perfect. My applause.

[@ktulinho]

Thanks! I hope it was useful!

[@vicentemain]

Excelente tutorial! Acabei de instalar 3 shelly's 2.5 com sucesso. Obrigado.

[@ktulinho]

Obrigado! Nice!

[@BartTech]

Great video!

[@ktulinho]

Thanks! I hope it was useful!

[@snoopysatangore]

Obrigado!

[@LERobbo]

Can the Shelly 2.5 handle pulse switches? I am upgrading my existing sunscreen controller to a pulse type with smart connectivity.

[@HH-bc2nz]

If you get a "Device failed to connect or include" error message when you want to add a new device jus try it from another phone. The app is very buggy but from another phone was successful.

[@paulosghost]

Dessa maneira ficam a funcionar os interruptores de parede na mesma correto?

[@ktulinho]

Olá! Sim! É a parte mais fixe dos Shelly :)

[@JoseSantos-ym5rp]

Muito bom! passado alguns anos ainda funcionam? vi alguns videos onde relatavam que passado 2 anos começavam a fazer um barulho e acabavam por morrer... existe alguma melhor alternativa?

[@joaomateusrosa5495]

Já tentei mas não consigo por meu a trabalhar, eu tenho 2 estores com duas caixas d botões de parede. Cada um e individual mas já fios que passam “em linha” para cada comutador. Consegues ajudar me? Obrigado

[@Tetley02]

This description and the video seems to have an error. It says to add the black wire (Active) to only one of the L terminals on the Shelly. Later in the video it then connects the L terminal of the switch to the other L terminal on the Shelly. This is how I connected mine but the Shelly would only operate in Relay mode. To make it operate in Roller Shutter mode I had to connect an active supply to BOTH of the L terminals of the Shelly and an active wire to the L terminal of the switch and then it all worked fine. The wiring diagrams of the Shelly device show an Active wire going to both of the L terminals of the Shelly device and also to the L terminal of the switch.

[@ktulinho]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@Aquintal30]

Funciona igual com iluminação?? A ligação??? Penso que sim

[@PauloSoares-gr5ft]

Great video, but there is one issue. The switch on the video has 2 x STOP and 1 x UP and 1 x DOWN. The Shelly only has 2 x Switch outputs. The problem I have now after installing the Shelly 2.5 is that Shutter doesn't stop when I push the STOP button. Without the Shelly I can stop the roller shutter by pushing STOP, with the Shelly the STOP doesnt work. I saw you have switch Efapel 21291, I have 21290.. I that why?

[@ktulinho]

HI Paulo! Thanks for your comment! I think the only difference between the 2 EFAPEL buttons is that in mine (when doing it without Shelly) I have to manually stop before activating the opposite action. I think in terms of connections to the Shelly they are probably the same. I'm thinking if it might be a configuration on the shelly side. How do you have your Device Type, Input Buttons Mode and Button Type? Mine are set to Roller Shutter, Open & Close Buttons and Momentary.

[@bassdrive]

Congratulations on a helpful review. How can I get feedback on the condition of the blinds, whether it is open or closed. I think on this principle to drive a pair of garage doors. The garage door automation has a magnetic sensor that sends a status signal, but how do I connect it to the relay?

[@ktulinho]

Thanks for yout feedback! For shelly 2.5, you have a setting called positioning controls. See here imgur.com/a/akT5mE4 For garage door positioning controls, I'm not sure you can do it with a shelly 2.5. I think for garage door automations you need to use a Shelly 1, which has something called dry contact. But best thing is to post your question on the Shelly support group: facebook.com/groups/ShellyIoTCommunitySupport/ There is always someone that will reply quickly. :)

[@BANDAKIAS]

Hi, for that roller switch what type off button do you set shelly for? Momentary or toggle switch?

[@ktulinho]

I set it to " Momentary - Press Button 1 for OPEN and Button 2 for CLOSE"

[@jorgemendessantos4442]

Is it possible to define an offset value to the shutter? E. g. to define the shutter to open 50% or any other value?

[@wouterforpresident]

Yes, you can calibrate and choose the %.

[@pauliuspeldzius1869]

Ola. i presume this works with Shelly 1, right?

[@ktulinho]

No. You need a Shelly 2.5 or Shelly Plus 2PM.

[@michalniznik4881]

Hi friends, can I use din version ? (I build my new house and I have all wire from switches and electric blinds to switchboard..) I found shelly 2 pro or shelly 4 but is alternative to shelly 2.5 ?? Thanks !!

[@ktulinho]

Yes! It also supports Roller shutter mode.

[@PradeepKaravadi]

Your explanation is very crisp and video is very clear. Is the setup (color coding of wires) for Germany? Can you also do similar videos for Shelly 1/1PM.

[@ktulinho]

Hey! Thanks! I'm not sure the wire colors are the same. Here N ia blue and L is black. What were you looking for regarding Shelly 1/1PM?

[@captainzeppos]

What diameter are these wires? Will 0.75mm work?

[@ktulinho]

As far as I remember 1.5mm and 0.75 for the roller shutter.

[@captainzeppos]

@@ktulinho thanks, much appreciated!

[@DinkoRadmanic]

Do you know how to control Shelly 2.5 via voice control (Google Nest Hub)?

[@ktulinho]

I’m using it with Alexa. I know it suporte Google but have not tried it myself.

[@FilipemaTomas]

Obrigado pelo tutorial :)

[@ktulinho]

Obrigado! Espero que tenha ajudado!

[@MTinguely]

Obrigado pelo video! Poderia confirmar se é possivel instalar sem usar um neutro? O controle da minha janela tem apenas o line e os dois cabos para subir/descer. Muito obrigado.

[@ktulinho]

Olá! Obrigado pelo comentário! Penso que não. O shelly 2.5 para funcionar acho que precisa sempre do neutro.

[@graurpgabriel]

Good video. But what can I do if in the switch there is no N wire, just the L and the on/off wires?

[@ktulinho]

Hmm, not sure. With Shelly 2.5 you need the N wire. There are other shellys that do not require N like the Dimmer. Maybe ask here - facebook.com/groups/ShellyIoTCommunitySupport/about/ super helpful community!

[@oferbar]

You will need to thread another line for the N. There are smart devices now that don't require N with some electrical "magic" but I think they work for lights. Not sure if it will work with motors...

[@Binuh]

Obrigado pelo conteúdo! Em relação ao colocar o Shelly dentro da caixa, não há problema de tamanho? ou ficar muito junto com os outros fios?

[@ktulinho]

Obrigado! Vai depender do tamanho da caixa. No meu caso ficam mesmo à medida. Fica tudo muito juntinho e por isso é que tento meter o shelly o mais perto possível do interruptor.

[@pedro-marques-jesus]

Excelente Video. Obrigado.

[@ktulinho]

Obrigado! Espero que tenha ajudado!

[@CunhaEsteves]

Tenho um shelly a funcionar, mas agora com os botões físicos não consigo parar a persiana a meio (apenas abre/fecha tudo). É suposto? Com a aplicação consigo controlar tudo direitinho

[@ktulinho]

Que tipo de butões são? São parecidos com os do vídeo? É suposto parar qdo os butões ficam "off". Pode ser alguma das definções do shelly na aplicação. Por exemplo, tablez a opção button type. Ou mesmo o modo de funcionamento (relay ou roller shutter). Aqui vai um screenshot com as definições que tenho no meu imgur.com/a/akT5mE4 Espero que ajude!

[@andrejzacka9079]

will this make ANY "dumb" shutters with just a basic motor into a smart ones ? do I understand it correctly ? :)

[@ktulinho]

Yup, that's what happened in my case!

[@xXxDaRkOlImxXx]

so did you fit it into the wall?

[@ktulinho]

Yes! I had to make the connection wires small enough to fit everything inside :)

[@rosco87ful]

Can u use this for a sunscreen aswel?

[@ktulinho]

I suppose so. How are the open and close buttons?

[@rosco87ful]

ktulinho i h’ve try it works the same . S1 en s2 are for open and close you can then calibrate the amount of time it needs to open/close ur sun screen

[@AntonioPMFerreira]

Parabéns pelo excelente tutorial. Tenho 5 estores, em todos eles tenho 6 fios. Julgo que isto se deva ao facto de ter um interruptor central que comanda todos os estores em simultâneo. Existe algum tipo de tutorial sobre esta minha situação?

[@ktulinho]

Obrigado pelo feedback! Aquando das minhas pesquisas para instalar um shelly 2.5 nunca me deparei com um vídeo desses :( Penso que o melhor será meter um post com fotos no Shelly support group: facebook.com/groups/ShellyIoTCommunitySupport/ Normalmente o pessoal costuma responder rápidamente.

[@faquaresma]

Muito Bom !!! Tenho 2 Shelly para montar apesar de o interruptor ser diferente (botão unico para subir e descer) espero que ajude. Obrigado pela partilha

[@ktulinho]

Obrigadi! Nas ligações é capaz de ser parecido. Na aplicação é que poderá ter uma configuração diferente. Na minha está assim: imgur.com/6CJKsDm Qualquer dúvida aivsa!

[@JoaoNunoNogueira]

Exelente tutorial. Mais claro que isto, não há, realmente. Fazem falta mais videos destes. No entanto reparei que aos 2:04 é mencionado, na narrativa, que no O1 liga o cabo castanho, e no 02 liga o cabo preto, mas na imagem vemos o inverso a ser executado. Mas mais adiante, aquando da ligação dos cabos mais pequenos, tudo bate certo com o video, portanto assumo que tenha sido erro de narrativa. Certo? :) Abraço e MUITO obrigado mais uma vez.

[@ktulinho]

Muito obrigado! É provável que me possa ter enganado.

[@JoaoNunoNogueira]

@@ktulinho Zero problema. O video é mais do que claro. Obrigado mais uma vez!

[@t1nk3rtail0r]
