Dooya roller blind control with Vera

Sorry for the English, but I'm from the US (enough said!).

Anyway, I used to have roller blinds with a chain pull. Obviously got
irritating pretty quick (especially since I have 21 such blinds). I did
some research and ordered a set of motors from China - because of other
restrictions in retro-fitting, I was forced to use rechargeable motors
with RF 433MHz receivers. After completing this project, I am now able
to up  down  stop all the blinds from the comfort of my couch!

I also have a Vera controller, and am looking to control these blinds
using Vera scenes. The Vera also allows me to write LUUP code as there
model is quite extensible.

I am hoping that someone has done something like this before and can
guide me. I am very comfortable with programming, but not so good with
any electronics.

I know that I will need an RF module of some kind, and then of course
program the proper codes (initially I would look only at UP  DOWN  
STOP
codes for simplicity).

Other than that, the mechanics of how to rig up the Vera with the RF
module is a mystery to me, but am hoping that it is relatively
straightforward.

I hope I am not hijacking this forum, but happened to come across it and
thought I would throw out my problem.

I appreciate any guidance. Regards ...

First of all, getting 433MHz receivers wasn't a good choice for the US. 
While that's an ISM band that can be used legally in ITU region 1 (e.g. 
Europe), you need an amateur radio license to transmit there in ITU 
region 2 (which includes the United States).

That being said, most people probably don't mind as long as you don't 
transmit there 24/7.

Vera seems to use Z-Wave for wireless communications, so you could ask 
Dooya  if there is a way to replace the 433MHz receiver with a Z-Wave 
one using the same frequency band as your Vera system.
