Window coverings, such as roller blinds or blinds, are an integral element of contemporary interior design. They have also become a standard in single-family homes. A wide selection of solutions determines the selection of controls for them. The existing infrastructure in the form of electrical installation also determines the type of control and its division into wired, radio or, increasingly often, Wi-Fi solutions. Typical roller shutter controllers allow you to lower and raise the roller blind. Blinds with their movable slats require the use of controllers that will allow you to control not only the height of the blinds, but also allow users to adjust the angle of the slats. F&F offers all these solutions.

FOX system drivers – WiFi control

Controlling roller blinds, blinds or pleats using an application for a smartphone or tablet The F&F FOX SHUTTER built-in controller is a roller shutter or blind controller with the ability to smoothly control the slats. Thanks to the active power measurement function, manual calibration of the roller shutter movement times is not necessary. The application allows you to perform "quick steps", i.e. raise/lower and set the angle of the blind slats to -90ᣞ – 0ᣞ – 90ᣞ. In the case of blinds, after lowering or raising them , the controller sets the slats to the angle at which the slats were before moving up or down .

Remote control of window curtains may still be associated with luxury, until recently seen only in movies. However, the world is moving forward and today such a solution is becoming more and more common, and therefore more accessible than before. Automatic roller blinds are a convenience you can afford!
