Shutter Roller control: 

DualR3 for me personally is the best controller for shutter roller and curtain for the following reasons:

The two channels allow it to control the motor easily in both direction by use each channel for motor direction (froward; reverse) to open/close the roller, also with interlocking option DualR3 provides protection for the motor from short-circuit happen when supply motor in the two directions at the same time

Support various control ways at the same time (mechanical via switches, App control, voice control, RF control) offer wide control even when no internet is disponible, and possibility for all person at home and without need to make any modification in the wiring of the old switch

DualR3 control the open/close status with high precision like open the the shutter roller by 20%, 30% ,80% and so on which provide incredible control according to the need of the user like in the morning open the shutter roller by 80% and in the afternoon keep just 30% of the shutter open

Protect the motor of the shutter roller from overload resulting from blocking in the motor and others with the overload protection features that cut-off power prevents any damage can happen to the motor
