    Serena Motorized Shades

    Just curious.

    Anyone using these?

    Roughly $400 a pop doesn't sound too bad for motorized shades.

    Thanks

      My understanding is that Rollertrol only works with the roller style pull down shades.

      These shades have Zero WAF.

      She is insisting on "honeycomb" style blinds.

      Thanks though!!

        Has she considered the roller variety WITH other window decorations and/or curtains? That can look quite different than just envisioning a plain window with a 70s style plain white roller shade!

          How were you going to integrate it into HS (assuming you were). Is there a Lutron controller plugin?

            Rollertrol now has cellular shades. They sell motors as we as the shades themselves.

                Serena shades

                is there any way to operate my Serena shades with Homeseer. If not now, when? And which controller will I need. I'm on HS2 + Staples Connect and want to upgrade to HS3, but ......

                    I believe the rollertrol are controlled with rfxcom device that rollertrol site sells and rfxcom plugin

                        In a word, No.

                        But. The Z-Wave window coverings gear is stupid expensive. It's cheaper by FAR! to just go Rollertrol.

                          I do use RFXCOM for receiving signals for Oregon sensors and rf x10 signal, I would imagine I would need additional hardware to make this work rigth?

                            Nope.

                            Only the Rollertrol motors for your shades.

                              I am sorry, what I meant was that I do use the RFXCOM plugin to recieve signals, but I can not emit signals, so I think I need more hardware to communicate with rollertrol. True?
