I've searched through all the topics but did not find any roller shutter (= blind) Dashboard Widget.
The only thing I've found is this:
But that one does not seems to be "pushable" to control this way:
Is it possible I've missed something like this on a dashboard?
There are thousands of NR users around the globe and 70% of us using it for home-automatisation.
It just seems for me impossible nobody ever needed a thing like that?
Not sure what you are asking - Have you tried sending a payload ?
msg.payload can be 0 to 100 (100 = 100% opened)
If this is not what you want you could look at this thread also - Dashboard tips. Let the ui_text act as level gauge ... DIY gauge examples
As smcgann99 said, you can set every position with this shutter template (its from me). See Screenshot 1.
a) (Screenshot 2)
I have multipe buttons => MQTT Out Node (Set Position)
e.g. Button 1, Payload 100
to MQTT Out Node, Topic "shellies/wz-rollade-1/roller/0/command/pos"
b) (Screenshot 3)
MQTT In Node => Shutter Template (Show Position)
e.g. Topic "shellies/wz-rollade-1/roller/0/pos" to Shutter Template
Thank your for the detailed post! 
So I was right: That nice widget is only able to SHOW a status, not to control anything.
I'm more interested at those 3 blue buttons [^] [stop] [v].
Is it possible to create 5 of them as a template and use it 8x for all roller shutters?
(I don't think that placing 40 buttons one by one is an ideal solution.)
Here's my roller door simulation - which is part of the flow I used to control my garage door via Alexa.
You might be able to modify it to suit your needs.

In my flow, i have one button for all (down) and one button for all (up).
If you want to control every shutter separately, you have to create those five buttons and then copy them 8 times (all at once).
