| If you want to include the shutters in home automation, you need a corresponding control. If you don't want to retrofit the roller shutters yourself, you can switch to electronic belt winders. These are fully developed but require an external power supply. There are several manufacturers on the market who also have a wireless remote control in their range. Almost all of them have in common that they rely on their own standards and need a headquarters from the respective manufacturer. If you want to avoid this, you have to find your own, open solution. | If you want to include the shutters in home automation, you need a corresponding control.

| The PCB antenna looks out of the housing for better reception. Although the module disappears in the belt case when the GW60 is installed, I did not have any connection problems with the TRÅDFRI buttons or the gateway. | The PCB antenna looks out of the housing for better reception.

| The TRÅDFRI module is now electrically and mechanically connected to the GW60, but the GW60 controller cannot yet do anything with the data. To do this, the existing firmware must be expanded. The GW60 is controlled by a PIC16F690 with an on-board programming interface. The PICkit3, which is also available as a China replica, is an inexpensive programmer. | The TRÅDFRI module is now electrically and mechanically connected to the GW60, but the GW60 controller cannot yet do anything with the data.

| To be able to read out the original firmware first, we have to connect the GW60 board to the PICkit3. The test pads on the back of the GW60 PCB are very helpful. There you can easily solder the 5 cables. | To be able to read out the original firmware first, we have to connect the GW60 board to the PICkit3.
