Product description: BleBox shutterBoxDC v2 - WiFi roller shutter controller - Android / iOS application
A small WiFi module that allows you to control window blinds, awnings, a projector screen, a roof window or even a DC powered actuator . The module can be controlled from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection, using the wBox application for mobile devices or using the API. BleBox modules can also be controlled using Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice assistants. BleBox has also created its own integration for the Home Assistant system. The controller is powered with a DC voltage of 12 V to 24 V , supports a load of up to 3 A (temporary 5 A). Small dimensions allow the module to be closed in an electrical box
The main features of the BleBox shutterBoxDC v2
- Remote control of mobile devices
- Possibility to control the roller blind, awning, projector screen, roof window, electric actuator
- Schedule and astronomical clock (control at sunrise and sunset)
- Can be operated with mechanical and electronic limit switches
- Ability to operate with motors without limit switches (overload)
- Automation combined with temperature, rain, air quality, wind and humidity sensors
- Automatic calibration and time protection limiting engine running times
- Safety system: overload detection / obstacle detection
- Additional functions: soft-start, movement in the opposite direction
- Possibility to connect wall buttons for manual control
- Possibility to pair μWiFi remote controls ( uRemote , sRemote , inBox )
- Possibility of central control from the button with the actionBox module
Versatile use
The BleBox shutterBoxDC module allows you to control any DC motors from 12 V to 24 V, which can be found in:
- external blinds
- internal blinds (with slats)
- projector screens
- balcony and terrace awnings
- roof windows
- roof blinds
- height-adjustable tables
- curtains / curtains
- air dampers
- actuators
Perfect for DIY projects as well such as an actuator to lift the telescope dome.
Control via mobile application
Thanks to the application for mobile devices, it can be controlled from anywhere in the world. The controller uses the existing WiFi network, no additional control panel is required. The driver can also work without an internet connection. In the application, it is possible to create scenes and groups that allow you to control multiple shutterBoxDC controllers at the same time. Control intelligently, e.g. give the command "close the blinds to 70%", you don't have to stand and hold the button.
Blinds with slats
In addition to ordinary roller shutters, the shutterBoxDC can also control slatted blinds. The position of the roller shutter and slats can be set independently of each other. Decide how much light you let into your home.
Voice control and uWiFi remotes
The BleBox shutterBoxDC controller can be controlled by voice using Google Home and Amazon Alexa voice assistants. You can also pair the uRemote, sRemote remote control and the inBox wall button module to the module. The remotes connect to the device directly via μWiFi (do not require a WiFi network to operate). One remote control can be paired to many receivers, just like many remote controls can be paired to one receiver.
Central control, integration
Using modules from the actionBox family, you can create a central button for shutterBox controllers without running cables. actionBox modules can also be connected, for example, to an alarm control panel to automatically close the blinds when the alarm is armed. The actionBox family controllers send commands via a local WiFi network.
Automation with BleBox sensors
With the use of BleBox sensors, shutterBoxDC controllers can be controlled via WiFi network without wires, for example:
- windSensor Pro to protect roller shutters/blinds from strong winds
- airSensor to close windows in poor air quality
- rainSensor to close the awning or roof windows during rain
- tempSensor to close slats or blinds on hot days to reduce room heating
