question

thanks for checking this Jamie. the motorization/automation of window coverings, e.g. blinds, shutters, draperies, is in compliance with the Child Safety regulations. We have been working on this project for quite a few years, currently using RF control, with bi-directional feedback, which allows customer to precisely control their blinds to a full close/open or a middle position. however, controlling the window covering requires a few more commands than the lighting control, as lighting can be "turn on/off" or dimmer, while with blinds/curtains, it would be really cool if Alexa would allow/add a certain invocation words so instead of saying "turn on my blinds“, people can say "raise my blinds", "open my blinds" or "close my curtains", etc etc. probably something worth considering, as window coverings also plays a big role in energy saving, lighting management and privacy. and motorized windowing covering does eliminate the risk of little kids getting strangled by traditional cord system.
