I've wanted to do something similar too. I have 13 windows in my sunroom. That means 13 blinds to deal with. I close them and open them almost every day in winter. Its kind of a pain with furniture and other things in the way. I'd like to put a photoresistor or two out and have that automatically control the opening and closing of the blinds. However, I'd need 13 actuators to control the blinds and that would just be a big ol pain to make so I haven't done anything yet. |
Somfy makes some nice shade actuators for pull up shades. We have one of them for a window we have that is hard to get to -- it does a nice job. They also make a light actuated one. But, all kind of pricey.
There are some China imports on ebay that are a good deal cheaper.
