Again, a presence simulation might be a nice psychological sales trick by the manufacturers, but it's not a sensible measure for hazard prevention. Such a stupid thing won't even deter an occasional criminal. It also seems common practice for many to just ring the doorbell beforehand and pretend to be Jehovah's Witnesses etc. if someone comes to the door. Burglar-resistant windows help against break-ins. Nothing else.
For example, we now have three windows in our living room with internal blinds, and there is simply no mathematically representable automation for these internal blinds. Sometimes I want it dark in one spot while the other two remain up. Sometimes the middle one is lowered so it doesn't glare on the TV, but the other two stay up. But when the TV is off, the middle one doesn't bother either. Or with only moderate sunlight. Or at a different time of day, it's another blind. Sometimes it's also a different blind that is down because someone is playing on the floor there. Depending on whether we currently feel it's cold or warm, direct sunlight is either desired or not desired. Such a thing can be pleasant in winter sometimes and, yes, even in February, way too "blaring."
If you only want to lower in the evening and raise in the morning, then something like that can be automated. However, in our case, the position of the blinds depends on numerous technically immeasurable factors. Of course, it could be different in [house], but I don't suspect so.
Therefore, it would hardly be possible for us to automate something sensibly. But if it's only about raising in the morning and lowering in the evening - that certainly works without problems. And if that's the only requirement, I might automate it.
Of course, the [Raffstoren] get sun and wind sensors. That should be mandatory. We will probably also have a window contact installed for the terrace window [Raffstore]. But a complete automation from A to Z is too cumbersome for me with constant reprogramming and rethinking. After all, things never stay the way they are.
