Hey,
I’m now thinking about adding a pergola outside to have myself a spot to spend outdoors while also not necessarily in the elements (sun, wind.)
This means there may be 4 motorized thingies to control (roof, sides) as well some lights to turn on/off. Powering and control is all pretty straightforward: VMB2BLE for blindey thingies (looks like 24VDC is widespread), VMB*RYLD for on/off thingies. Distance from my attic distribution box and the anticipated location of pergola is less than 10 meters, so that would work alright voltage drop wise. But what about actual control? There are a fair number of channels to control here, so something like an OLED panel would be ideal. Unfortunately OLED panels have an IP rating of 20 and are rated for indoor use, so they aren’t something I can use.
Did any of you ever need to control anything velbus outdoors? How did/would you approach it?
