Roller questions (Newbie, sorry... ;-)

[TomCG]

Please excuse my probably basic questions, but I'm completely new to home automation and Shelly 😉
For two roller shutters I have just installed 2 Shelly Plus2PM, each triggered by a Shelly Wallswitch 2.
The roller shutters work as desired via the Shelly app. However, you have to press and hold the button on the wall switch for the roller shutter to move. There is certainly a way to configure the wall switch so that one press of the button is enough to close or open the shutter completely... but where do I do this?

*****  Edit: I finally found out! It's the "input type" that needs to be switched to "button" instead of "switch" 🙂

Nice at least you managed to figure it out just for others who might have the same issue it can be found in the device settings see the attached picture. This would go for many applications not just for the Roller shutters.

Hello,

I have a 2 button wall device to control my shutter, one button for up and one button for down.

If i whant the shutter to go all the way up, i must keep the up button pressed.

I'm thinking off getting a Shelly 2PM to allow me to press the up button and have the shutter all the way up.

I also whant to press the up again to have it stop before getting all the way up.

 

Is it possible with the abouve configurations

Do I choose Button with flip switch ?

hmm @Olsche you know more about the finer details roller shutters than I do

In detached mode:

If the input is configured as a button in the Device settings, each button press cycles open, stop, close, stop, etc.
If the input is configured as a switch, each switch toggle cycles open, stop, close, stop, etc.

In dual input mode:

In case the inputs are configured as buttons:
- Pressing a button when the cover is static, moves the cover in the corresponding direction until the endpoint is reached.
- Pressing the button for the same direction while the cover is moving, stops the cover.
- Pressing the button for the opposite direction, while the cover is moving, reverses the cover movement until the endpoint is reached.
In case the inputs are configured as switches:
- Turning a switch on moves the cover in the corresponding direction until an endpoint is reached.
- Turning the switch off stops the cover movement.

I'm not sure if I understood it correctly, but the existing switches that currently control the blind have this behavior or is it even the blind motor that only supports these sequences?

Update: 
Ok, I feel stupid, I figured it out. The Shelly 2PM was acting as a switch, not as a blind relay. 
So for the others who stumble upon this, you need to change the device profile:
 

Settings > Device Profile > <change to Cover> and click save

In my case I'm using the above setting. And case 1 and 2 work very well. However when the cover is moving in one direction and I press the other button to reverse it - I hear a very loud buzz from motor and it stops. 

What I think is happening - is that both buttons are pressed at the same time and it doesn't like this. Can anyone confirm that this is right ? 

And if yes, then: what is the solution to this ? Is there a mode in which pressing the opposite switch will turn off the first one ? 

(please don't suggest actions. I've tried it and it works only partially: there is a slight delay of 0.5 sec. So when I press the opposite button - I hear the short buzz, and 0.5 sec later the cover starts going the other way)

This is a feature of the switch. The motor is completely dumb. It has one wire to go in one direction and another one to go in the other direction. All the intelligence is in the switch (as the switch is the one applying voltage to the 2 wires in a way in which you want it to work)
