Hello everyone! Until recently I operated my Fakro window openers with the wall control (ZWK10) and since I added the window openers to Homey, the wall control no longer works. Can a opener only be connected and operated in 1 way (so either with the wall switch or with Homey, but not both? Or can I perhaps also connect the ZWK-10 with Homey and then still operate the opener via a Homey flow? Don’t see the wall control as a device in the Fakro app… Anyone have an idea about this? ---

I think you should contact the developer [mailto:homeyapp+fakro@305.nl](mailto:homeyapp+fakro@305.nl) Seems it’s not unique: ![Screenshot_20211127-205954_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/5/35ea8b6193bf497a1fae9cc7dca2419c9ddd12aa.jpeg) ---

Let’s not jump into bad conclusions here. Depending on the product ID should work. I have two roof windows connected to Homey and the remote (ZRH12). You should include the remote as a secundary controller, which is described in the manual of the remote. This makes the remote part of the same z-wave network but it won’t be visible in Homey. In short; Connect the windows to Homey and only then Connect them with the remote again, as described in the manual under secundary controller. The only thing i don’t know is if your specific remote has this function but since it’s Z-Wave it should. Are you using the right app? Developed by Fakro. ---

Thx man! I will try out your suggestion. Hopefully my wall controller also supports the secondary mode. Yes I’m using the official Fakro app since it’s the only one I see for Fakro products. ---

Hello Martijn, I have the same remote and the ARZ Zwave sunscreen (rolluik). I was able to connect the screens with Homey (however only as a ‘simple zwave device’) and could control the screens. Then I tried to connect my remote (ZRH12) as a secundaire remote. The method described in the manual assumes that there is another remote. And wants you to push buttons on that remote. Which is kind a hard on the homey…. What steps did you take to succeed? Thnx. ---

I didn’t use any other remote and I don’t remember that being asked. I needed only the ZRH12 and use a combination of buttons on that one to include the windows. ---

Hope that they updated support for ARZ Zwave sunscreen (rolluik). I could only connect the screens with Homey as a ‘simple zwave device’. ---
