Lutron serena wood blinds or alternative

I hope someone who has these can answer a question.

It appears that the automation is limited to tilting the slats and there is no automation to raise or lower them. is this true?

Are there any wood blind alternatives out there people recommend? And do any of those offer both functions?

I am looking for blinds not shades

Serena is the “low end” of Lutron shade product lines, but I think even the higher end ones can’t raise wood blinds, just tilt the slats, like Serena.

This is correct, slats are significantly heavier than shades. I’m not aware of any slats that raise/lower. Only open and close.
