Motorised Roller Shutter Control

This is a 230Vac motorised roller shutter installed in a kitchen of the HDB flat. The shutter is open to allow natural air breeze to come in. When it rains, this shutter is automatically closed with the help of the rain sensor and a controller.

Rain Sensor Installation Photos

Depending on how fast you want the sensor to be activated, the sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted. In typical installation, we will set it to the most sensitive.

A custom mounting bracket can be use to extend out the sensor. This will help the sensor to activate the shutter close earlier before the rain gets splash into your home.
