Transmitter Homematic IP HmIP-FBL Blind/Shutter Accessory

The Homematic IP HmIP-FBL Blind/Shutter Accessory is a compact transmitter designed to operate and automate blinds and shutters within a Homematic IP system. It transmits control signals for opening, closing and positioning window coverings, supporting reliable wireless communication over distances up to 180 m in open outdoor conditions. The accessory is intended for integration with mains-powered installations and accepts an AC input of 230 V at 50 Hz; its small enclosure (54 mm × 41 mm × 33 mm) allows installation in confined spaces such as switch boxes or behind wall-mounted control plates. Operating at a transmission power of 0.2 W, the device is suitable for retrofit projects and new smart-home installations that require a discreet, local control interface for roller shutters and venetian blinds.
