Hello!
I am currently considering how to control the electric venetian blinds. On the ground floor, there are three facing south, and one in the upstairs bathroom.
A few features are important to me:
1. Automatic raising and lowering at sunrise and sunset.
2. Automatic heat protection. Ideally with at least two levels: Level 1 – blinds lower but still allow light through; Level 2 – blinds close completely.
3. If the patio door is open, the blinds should not lower automatically.
4. Programmable schedules.
5. Possibly controllable via web interface or app.
6. Potentially adjustable slat angle for fine tuning.
7. Automatic raising in case of strong wind.
Do systems like this exist? How can I implement this? I haven’t looked into home automation at all, since I didn’t really need it, but it would definitely be practical for the blinds.
Good luck,

I will discuss this with my electrician then!

We also have a central switch for our five roller shutters in the living/dining/kitchen area. These are usually offered by the manufacturers of the switch systems (in our case Merten). Currently, there is only a "dumb" switch, but I plan to replace it soon with a timed module (remove the switch, install the module, and set it up).
