Description

The purpose of this actuator is, to control Roto Rototronic skylight with shutters and/or sun blinds. It has 4 "channels". Each channel internally uses two relays: One for the open-action, and one for the close-action.

Of course you can also control your Roto Rototronic skylight with help of a standard switch-actuator. But then you don't have the possibility to "open the window 75%" or "close the shutter 80%". The firmware for DFF4.1 provides all this neat feature that you know from typical shutter/blinds actuators.

Hardware

This actuator consists of the following REG parts:

I2C address on application board:

A0: 1
A1: 0 
A2: 0

I2C address on frontend board:

A0: 0
A1: 0
A2: 0


Software

User Documentation

Developer Documentation

Firmware sourcecode is on github: https://github.com/KONNEKTING/KonnektingFirmware/tree/master/DFF4.1_1.0 You can't build it yourself, as it depends on KONNEKTING Device Library somewhere between beta4 and beta5 :-(


Build It

This actuator uses three PCBs, a bunch of SMD components as well as a lot of mechanical parts. As most users are not able to solder SMD, the PCBs are pre-soldered with all SMD components. Due to the big amount of parts, this actuator comes as a DIY kit: You have to solder non-SMD parts yourself and build up the device and finally flash the firmware with help of a USB connection.
