DawnGordon Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Aside from being a Control4 dealer, I'm also a dealer for a shutter company called Norman USA. Norman has a motorized system that has a HUB and remote that communicates to the shutter to open and close the vanes. They currently do not have *any* drivers for 3rd party systems like Control4. I spoke with Norman tech support and they don't know what the RF frequencies are that communicate from the Remote/Hub to the shutter motors. They did say that they would lend the Hub/Remote to me for a couple of weeks to see if I could make it work with Control4. So, I was wondering if Bond Bridge or Matterlink could identify the RF frequencies and possibly use them to control the shutters? One other option is connecting to Amazon Echo or Google which I know they are working on. Is there any way to have a Control4 keypad send commands to Alexa to move the louvers even though there is no dedicated Control4 app?

Bond of course, matterrlink is a bit outdated, driver not updated in years, bond works perfectly fine, I had migrated to bond and never looked back.

chopedogg88 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Reviving old thread...has Bond Bridge been proven out to work with these Norman shades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I also see that they sort of advertise a hub on this page, which supposedly has some ability to communicate with homekit and/or other automation systems? https://normanusa.com/window-treatments/shades/motorized-shades/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnGordon Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 I don't believe they do. Norman's hub used an incompatible frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Uggh. So no way to integrate Norman shades with Control4 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless you feel called to develop a driver against their bridge/cloud by the looks of it. "proprietary 2.4 Ghz signal" - half wonder if it's ZigBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
