How to control your sun protection

Every person is individual - and so are their wishes when it comes to controlling sun shading products. 

There are different operating options for every situation. Find out which one suits you best!

ONYX offers the blinds push-button on the wall, the remote control, the smart phone or even your voice as operating elements.

The very first light bulb, well over a hundred years ago, was switched on and off by a switch. This type of operation has proven itself over the decades and is still considered the "standard" when it comes to controlling a consumer. ONYX supports the standard blind switches of many different manufacturers and is therefore not dependent on a special programme. Make sure that the necessary space for an ONYX.NODE is available behind the push-button in the box. In new buildings, it is advisable to use electronic boxes. You can find more information in the operating instructions for the control unit ONYX.NODE.

When renovating a façade, it is not always possible to run cables into every room. In many cases, a push button for Venetian blinds is therefore no longer necessary; but you still want to be able to control the Venetian blinds manually.

ONYX.CLICK offers precisely this option: suitable for use as a hand-held radio transmitter, it can also be easily mounted on the wall in the desired location using the wall bracket supplied.

ONYX.SWITCH is a pure wall-mounted radio transmitter and can be integrated into any standard 55 mm frame programme from many different manufacturers.

With these two hand-held radio transmitters, it is possible to control up to 5 systems per channel. They have 5 channels; so a total of 25 systems can be controlled. If you want to control more than 5 systems per channel, this can be realised by an additional centre box ONYX.CENTER. Up to 50 systems can then be controlled with just one hand-held radio transmitter.

A quick glance at the ONYX App and you already know about your home. Different colours make it easy for you to keep track.

By swiping over the respective device in the App, the sun protection immediately moves in the desired direction. A short tap in the upper or lower half of the tile tilts the external venetian blind up or down by a few degrees. 

The live feedback enables the visual display of the blind directly when it is being controlled. Sensor values such as the wind or the sun are also displayed. 

You can create groups and set several favourite positions for each sun protection product. 

Your sun shading can also be controlled completely automatically, read HERE, how to do this. 

An centre box ONYX.CENTER is required to use the App. You can find more information on the box HERE.

The smart phone is not at hand and no hand-held radio transmitter within reach? You don't have to get up from the couch to adjust your blinds so that you are no longer blinded. Alexa or the Google Assistant will do it for you; just say:

 

"Alexa, set the outdoor blind in the living room to 100%".

"Alexa, set roller shutter to 0 %" - the roller shutter will be completely opened

"Alexa, set the roller shutter to 100 %" - the roller shutter will be completely closed

"Alexa, set the outdoor blind to 50 %" - the outdoor blind stops halfway up, the slats remain open

"Alexa, set the outdoor blind to 99 %" - the outdoor blind extends almost completely and is then opened

"Alexa, set the outdoor blind to 100 %“ - the outdoor blind is closed completely
