I’ve got an extra tall living room, and without a 15’ ladder there’s no way I can actuate the pull down shades. I would be annoyed to have to climb up to change batteries a few times a year. What I would ideally want are some kind of window shade or blinds with a remote or HA controllable, and a little solar panel to collect the juicy rays of the sun.
I have found hard wired shades, battery powered shades with remotes, and zigbee etc shades, but not exactly what I’m looking for.
Any suggestions?
I don’t actually HAVE any automation at home beyond some hated Alexas, but these shades would be a great place to start.
Thanks in advance.
Why not expand the battery leads down the wall so you don’t have to climb?
15 foot long cables dangling all over would not be ideal.
