METHOD FOR OPERATING A ROLLER BLIND ASSEMBLY
A method is provided for operating a roller blind assembly, wherein the roller blind assembly is configured for direct driving of a winding tube and a rollo screen movable between a closed position and an opened position. The method includes operating a motor to drive the winding tube of the rollo assembly, setting a first threshold based on an operating condition, and monitoring an operating parameter indicative of speed of the winding tube. The method further includes assessing when the operating parameter crosses the first threshold, and generating a trigger signal based on the assessment of the operating parameter.
