RE: Velux windows and automation

["mike" <mikegriff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David

I agree with all Simon says

I've just installed 9 Velux windows

6 with Motor control and all with motorised blinds

I went for the Velux control system and their interface boxes for HA
control

As Simon says it isn't as straight forward as it first seems



My advise is plan what you need

Know your minimum and Max  requirements as the system can demand
compromises



Then phone Tech support at velux



If you get stuck I can send you all the Tech PDF's but with out the phone
call I don't think they will mean much

Mike

Subject: [ukha_d] Velux windows and automation




Has anyone incorporated Velux windows in their HA systems? There appear
to be 2 types of automation kit that can be purchased with Velux
windows: standard and advanced. The advanced kits include IR remotes and
can probably be included fairly simply if a little messily.

The standard kits have keypads that interface to the control units.
These look more interesting (and cheaper!) as it may be possible to
incorporate hardwired control in parallel with the keypads. I have
mailed Velux with a lot of questions but I thought someone on this group
must have already looked at/done this.

All thoughts/comments appreciated.

David
