Seeking Advice on Automating Existing Curtains

Dear Automation Enthusiasts,

I'm contemplating automating my four curtains and exploring two primary options. The first is to purchase new Somfy curtains, which would be a straightforward replacement given that I already have power outlets near them. The second, and my preferred option, is to acquire curtain robots.

I have several questions regarding the curtain robots:

  1. Is it possible to manually open the curtains when using a robot?
  2. What is the battery replacement frequency for these devices?
  3. Do they offer robust community support and integration?
  4. Are they effective and valuable, or would they be considered a poor investment?

Given these considerations, would you recommend investing in a fully wired solution or opting for the curtain robot? I appreciate your insights.

Thank you.
