Child Safe - RTS motor - roller shutter - shelf shutter

[GANESH SHETTI]

Greetings Sir, I have a motorized RTS roller shutter (which can be controlled by both hand held remote controller Or wall switch) . The thing is when the motor detects an object, it will put its entire weight on the object and then stop (which means it will suffocate that "object"). Hence we can say that the system has an obstacle detection but its not Child Safe. The main problem is that kids play with the remote controller and below shelf shutter. Please can you suggest a solution to make it completely child safe. Thank You

I discussed this with a supplier, he suggested me to code the switch. by doing so only the person with password can operate the roller shutter.

So I want to code/ enable password to the switch and when I put the password the switch should function ON/OFF. I should be able to function it with my I-phone i.e. away from home.

Maybe replace your switch with this one?

Master code and multiple user codes (2 per channel).

I'm accustomed to garage door photosensors that detect anything underneath the door and stop or reverse its travel..

Only way to make it child proof is to make it aware of a child in its path.
To that end something needs to look at the door opening to make sure it's clear.

A child has to stand on the floor so one could use an optical sensor close to the ground. But since a kid could get a hand under the door from the wrong side, acoustic ranging from both sides might be worth a try. Perhaps a combination ?

For decades the industry has used inexpensive optical sensors like these
