Looks like they might need a good hub..... unless Alexa and Google meet their users needs.

I think they will just stick with their own hub.

I can see my Ikea already has the blinds. In both totally blinding ones and half open mesh kind of fabric. Looks pretty nice. I'm not going to buy them though, saving the money to buy real shutters for outside.

I donā€™t actually want the blinds!
I will re-roll them with fabric from the ones my wife bought recently..
I just want to automate them :slight_smile:
