The Fibaro Z-Wave FGR-222 Roller Shutter 2 is a cutting-edge smart controller designed specifically for managing motorized roller blinds, window shutters, garage doors, and awnings through any Z-Wave-compatible smart home system. With advanced precision, quiet performance, and seamless wireless integration, this compact in-wall module transforms any traditional motorized window or door system into a remotely controlled, automated component of your intelligent home. Whether you’re controlling light levels, ensuring privacy, or securing access, the FGR-222 gives you full and effortless control.
Unlike ordinary shutter modules, the Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 offers positioning calibration, meaning it can measure and remember the exact open and close levels of your blinds. That allows you to open them halfway, close them fully, or open them just enough to let in ambient light—all with exact repeatability. This is made possible through the built-in power metering, which allows the system to understand the current load and automatically calibrate shutter positions during setup. It’s a unique function that ensures reliable movement and consistent automation results over time.
One of the key strengths of this module is that it is completely hidden behind a wall switch or inside an electrical junction box. It fits neatly behind standard flush-mounted switches, allowing you to maintain the appearance of your current home décor while enhancing the intelligence of your infrastructure. You can continue using your physical switch as before, while also gaining full control through mobile apps, Z-Wave remotes, voice assistants, or automated schedules.
The Roller Shutter 2 doesn’t just raise and lower your blinds—it elevates your comfort, energy efficiency, and security. Through its Z-Wave capabilities, it can be integrated with light sensors, motion detectors, thermostats, and scene controllers to create complex automations. For example, during a hot summer afternoon, your system can automatically close blinds in rooms receiving direct sunlight to reduce indoor temperature and minimize air conditioning costs. Alternatively, when you arrive home, a “Welcome Scene” can open your blinds, raise lights, and play music in your favorite room.
For homeowners who are concerned about noise, the Roller Shutter 2 also includes soft start/stop capability, which ensures that motors ramp up and down gently, minimizing wear and noise. This is especially valuable for nighttime use or bedrooms. Safety is also prioritized, with built-in overload protection that prevents motor damage in the event of obstruction or abnormal load.
Fully certified under Z-Wave Plus, the module delivers faster communication, improved energy efficiency, and longer wireless range compared to first-generation Z-Wave devices. It is designed for 230V AC motors and works with both momentary and toggle switches, offering wide compatibility for global installation standards.
The FGR-222 automatically calibrates motor positions by detecting power usage. This means you can program exact opening levels—like 25%, 50%, or 90%—and the controller will repeat them precisely every time.
Installed inside a standard junction box behind your wall switch, the Roller Shutter 2 remains out of sight while giving your existing blinds motor full wireless control. This design ensures no visual clutter and full switch usability.
Enjoy improved wireless range, faster communication, and increased reliability with Z-Wave Plus certification. Compatible with leading controllers like Fibaro Home Center, SmartThings, Home Assistant, Vera, Zipato, and more.
Integrated power metering allows your smart system to track energy usage and detect motor behavior. Combine it with smart rules to automate blinds based on time of day, sunlight intensity, temperature, or motion.
Motor movements begin and end gently, reducing wear and minimizing noise. Overload protection ensures your motor and blinds are not damaged in the event of a mechanical blockage.
Whether you’re automating living room curtains, office window shades, or outdoor awnings, this versatile module supports multiple motorized solutions, making it ideal for both home and light commercial applications.
Use your existing physical momentary or toggle switches without losing the ability to control blinds manually. Whether through switch press, mobile app, or voice command, the result is full flexibility.
