Regardless, the additional cost for the electric operation of the blinds is not so high that you should particularly cut costs there, at least that was the case for us

Then you can save yourself the automation and keep them down all day - 24/7. Maybe open them now and then to peek outside

It's a bit off-topic here (but today everything is a bit chaotic anyway and it all comes together when it comes to electric roller shutters),
but statistically, burglaries happen more during the day, when you're not there - in exactly that one half hour. Shading only makes sense during the day, and in the evening you don't want to be seen.
We also have roller shutters on some windows on the ground floor, but I will hardly use them. I want to see the garden in the evening. Uninvited viewers are only on one side, unless the neighbor on the left and the neighbor on the right turn out to be peeping Toms, constantly hanging at their window to look at me. But I don't think we're that interesting
The seating area isn't planned to be visible, that's the advantage of building a house.
If I have a bad day, I close them. Yes. But in a cozy home, you also like to stroll around now and then and enjoy the individual rooms.

By the way, it's absolutely annoying when it's still relatively bright to look at a roller shutter... in our residential area, everyone now leaves those things up and has pleated blinds that at least allow them to see out at head height.

I think if you look at these aspects, you'll come to the realization that you can live without electric roller shutters too

No, of course, like in that commercial

...you don’t need a car either, you can get ahead with a carriage as well...

I believe you don’t understand the purpose of a roller shutter...

but I had the shutters installed for these reasons:

- I want to have light in the house during the day and only shading under certain conditions
- when it’s dark, I simply don’t want just anyone to be able to look inside
- there are no additional light sources in the garden, so you can’t see anything once the sun is down, so I don’t need the view

I also understand that burglaries happen during the day... but do you know what passive burglary protection is?
Studies prove that even a closed roller shutter and a lamp (keyword presence simulation) deter many burglars... of course, it won’t deter a professional, but all the opportunistic thieves look for something else.



Yes, most will have belt winders... because people tend to save money at this point... and since it’s absolutely annoying to operate many roller shutters manually up and down, they simply don’t bother at all...

This is not an argument. I just don’t understand why you question the decision to install electric roller shutters so intensely. Honestly: with 17 windows in the house, it was not up for debate whether or not. And you overlooked one argument: the extra cost was not so high that it had to be avoided, and considering the number of windows, I think this discussion is obsolete.
