bed theater control
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:37 pm
It is common to have a motorized bed to raise the head and foot end .... there is a handheld control and you have to keep pushing the button till the desired position has been reached .....
So far i never realized that this construction is similar to sunscreen automation ... so get a sunscreen controller like SW10 add two 230V relays and figure out how to bypass the existing switches/contacts of the handheld control ...
in case you want both ends to control you will need two SW10 or similar controllers.
Program your televison (marmitek) remote or by switching on the bedroom tv so it will raise your bed and by turning off the tv-set it will lower the bed so instead of home theater control you created bed theater control ...
Also at wakeup time you can use this feature to get you quickly out of bed .... or your partner .....
