Remote control panel for curtain


RL-3128


Remote control Panel for curtains/rollers — wireless device that helps to expand possibilities of Smart Home independently of nominal wiring. It is the conductor of your commands to electrically-actuated devices such as electric curtain rod, roller shutters or garage doors. Thanks to the simple installation, you can place the panel wherever you want without being restricted by layout constraints.

Receiver that will transmit commands to other devices of Smart Home and to rubetek Cloud is required for connection of sensor.

Available devices:


rf-control-module
Wi-Fi plug RЕ-3305

Wi-Fi single switch relay RЕ-3313

rf-control-module
Wi-Fi single switch relay with dry contact RE-3314

rf-control-module
Wi-Fi double switch relay RE-3315

Principle of operation


Panel for curtains/rollers can manage electric actuator RLP-3810 or Wi-Fi double switch relay RЕ-3315 (in Roller mode). The device is equipped with built-in radio module. When you touch it, the panel sends a radio signal to the receiver and then the actuator script of the connected device is activated.

Use rubetek devices as panel signal re-transmitters — expand its operating range.

E.g., control all the electric curtain rod in a country house with one RL-3128 Panel and Plug RE-3305 located on the first floor.
