Automation of shutters

Hi!

My project is to automate the opening and closing of my shutters.
I use a linear motor for my tests (https://www.amazon.fr/ECO-WORTHY-Actuator-Tracker-Multi-function-Electroic/dp/B0171NTOR8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1549055845&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=moteur+lineaire&dpPl=1&dpID=51jKiCfbpQL&ref=plSrch)
The mechanical part is validated.
Now I am looking for the best solution to control my engines.
Solution 1:
a management (configurable and autonomous) by independent pair to manage the order of movement of the shutters (one flap covers the other) and without wires so as not to have to put kilometers of wires in my house.
Manage the opening or closing sequence via a raspberry or arduino (I master the development part)

Solution 2:
Manage each shutter independently in RF and a single controller.
Then do movement management via a program.

I block on the hardware part.

Do you have any idea about the type of motor controller (single or dual controller in RF) to take?
My engine consumes max 2A

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Worm drives are slow. If you’re happy to close all the shutters at once, you can use a rack and pinion.



To control each shutter independently, you would need a line of servos, each servo controls one shutter, and a microcontroller such as the EZB V4 so you can control your shutters from your phone or with voice commands.

Thank you for your reply.
My engine is not slow, I have the choice between a speed of 24mm / s and 48m / s.
The race I need measures between 100mm and 200mm.
I’m not looking for other engines …
