Advantages and Disadvantages: Raffstore or Roller Shutters?

Just talk to your window person (or whoever sells and installs the venetian blinds) that you would like to control them automatically! The system is from Warema, just like the venetian blinds. We have never done a price comparison old school vs automated because old school would never have been an option for us

Of course we will do that... but sometimes it helps to know in advance how the rabbit, I mean the €€€, runs.

When I am there, I do it myself - when I am away, nothing has to move. That's how my world works, plain and simple.

Well, I just mentioned that.
You have great options to control the louver blinds and simply ignore them if you only want to operate them with switches: ...

I also think the options are great, but I don't have time for all the programming... It is too complicated for me at the moment. I already have a full week of IT work professionally. Still, when I retire, I will dedicate myself to the topic fully and thoroughly. Until then, I prioritize differently, focusing more on securing the house with cameras and access control, etc. Automatic shading, temperature control, pump control, and so on will come later. But our Warema louver blinds have so far withstood every wind and weather without retreat.
