using a servo

[SilverApe 0]

Hi all,

What would I need to control a simple hobby servo?

The Fibaro roller shutter maybe?

thanks for the help

If it is 230V AC then fibaro roller shutter is OK.

Is there a way we could use lower voltages? Are there any other modules for this on the market?

greetings,

SilverApe, I think the best way is to DIY with Arduino or Netduino, Gadgeteers,etc. and use it with a virtual device

switch on/off can control all voltage

viperlodz, SilverApe, a hobby servo is a step motor to drive it you must have a "Step Motor Controller"...

Hi Krikroff, like the roller shutter module but then for a lower voltage?

There is no such z-wave device on the market?

I will have to investigate the arduino and such then
