I’ve got some decent window blinds at my house (tilt as well as roll-up and -down), but I didn’t want to shell out another couple hundred per-window to make them “smart”, let alone being tied to a cloud service that could spontaneous combust any day now…

I’ve done numerous searches, but have not found anything decent that I could use to retrofit to add any sort of automation to these blinds. The best I could find were purpose-built and/or roller shades.

Is anyone here aware of any projects or products that can be added to a set of blinds to locally automate any of their features? I’m running latest stable Home Assistant in a container, with HACS, if that helps.

TIA!

    I also looked for that sort of thing recently and basically came up empty.
