Roller doors and shutters are an ideal element of a smart home. They can be used to protect and decorate it; however, roller control has two problems:
opening/closing is exhausting without a single control center
relying only on shutters and doors is not enough— you need a security system for complex protection
Ajax allows you to control roller doors or shutters via an app and automatically using scenarios and schedules. In case of an alarm, the roller will work as part of the system, fully protecting against burglary and intrusion.
At the first sign of fire, for example, shutters will open to provide access to firefighters and facilitate evacuation.
Read below to know more on how to manage rollers and strengthen the security of your facility.
Roller shutters and doors: types and functionalities
What type of control to choose
Simply put, rollers can be opened/closed manually and (or) automatically. Roller doors and shutters can be automated by connecting an electric motor. Electric roller doors and shutters are equipped with a factory-provided remote control or a button for opening and closing.
How to operate rollers and shutters with a tap
In Ajax app or with Ajax button
With Ajax, you don’t need separate remote controls and buttons for each roller door and shutter: simply use theApporButtonat your fingertips. For example, when approaching the garage, you don’t have to wait for the roller gates to open.
Automation scenarios
By changing security mode When leaving home, one touch is required to arm the system with a smartphone or a key fob. Rollers and shutters will close. You don’t have to check each window separately or inspect entrances and exits. When disarmed, shutters will open in the same way.
By schedule You can set up a multiple schedule for opening and closing roller doors and shutters. For example, you can set the shutters in the office to close at 7 pm and open at 8 am automatically, regardless of the security mode.
When turning the Night mode on and off When you activate the Night mode before going to bed, the blinds close, or the window rollers close by scenario. The Night mode activates the security mode without restricting movement within a perimeter.
How rollers and shutters can improve security with Ajax
In case of an intrusion
The office on the first floor is protected by shutters. An opening detector on the window shutters detects an attempted burglary. The hub has already sent an alarm to the application or the monitoring station.
In case of fire Ajax fire detectors recognize smoke, carbon monoxide, or a temperature spike. Roller doors and shutters open automatically to clear evacuation routes and provide access for firefighters. This can save lives when minutes or even seconds count.
Ajax capabilities are not limited to protection against robbery, fire, and flood, as the system can automate routine actions, save time, and make life more comfortable. We describe below connecting electric roller blinds and roller shutters to the Ajax system using apps, scenarios, or a wireless Button.
Ajax can control any roller blinds/roller shutters equipped with an electric motor. If the roller or shutter are equipped with a controller, you will need to connect wiring to its control terminals.
The Ajax system allows you to control roller blinds and roller shutters equipped with an electric motor, rated to operate on 110/230 VAC or 12/24 VDC.
Connecting to the controller
Some roller blind/roller shutter models can be equipped with a control unit. It consists of a controller and a remote control. The controller receives commands from the remote control and activates the open-close mechanism. To integrate with Ajax, the controller should have a control input for connecting wired buttons and relays. The controller can have a non-standard control input or special control and operation modes, which should also be considered during the integration.
Devices you need to complete the integration
– Roller blinds or roller shutters with an electric motor
– Hub — coordinates the operation of system devices
– Relay — gives the command to open or close roller blinds/roller shutters with a low-current drive or controller, or
– WallSwitch power relay — controls the power supply for the equipment and gives the command to open or close roller blinds/roller shutters with a power drive.
Additional / optional devices
– Button — allows sending a command for roller blinds/roller shutters opening or closing
– DoorProtect Plus opening detector — detects break-in through the roller blinds
– Back-up batteries of appropriate capacity and output current — for opening or closing the curtain in case of power loss, as well as for back-up power supply of Relay and/or WallSwitch
– Transmitter integration module — transmits the status of the roller blinds/roller shutters, whether open or closed, to the system in real-time.
To connect your roller or shutter, we recommend you contact us. Our specialist will guide you through the instruction details.
