If you don t want to be bothered to get out of your chair you can automate the blinds with an arduino.
Diy motorized blinds arduino.
Code for esp8266 microcontrollers that control diy motorized blids made from ikea tupplur blinds.
It then correspondingly controls the stepper motor through the darlington array driver for the motor.
Obviously installing your own motorized blinds is a huge pain in the tuchus to install though and can get very expensive if you have a lot of windows that have blinds that you want to convert over.
Enter blind engine who doesn t seem to get a ton of great reviews though and i can only assume that it is due to user miscalculation as they.

Hey everyone here with a quick and easy instructable for those of you who want to motorize your window blinds.
The blinds use a light dependent resistor to.
A place for all things arduino.
That would probably be a lot more reliable than trying to operate the blinds by attaching to the cords used for manual operation in some way.
The plan is to make a roller blind controlled through a bipolar stepper motor in which i will control through an arduino uno board.
Instructables user freedomtocreate has made an arduino powered system that opens and closes the blinds on a schedule based on room temperature or outdoor light.
Automatic blinds with photocell hands.
Arduino motorized window blinds.
The stepper motor is attached to the control stick of the curtain blinds and thus on rotation opens closes the blinds.
After the blinds work functionally through the motor i hope to connect it to a bluetooth receiver on the arduino in which i can control with a remote.
They are certainly giving the arduino a good sales pitch.
Code in this repo is intentionaly to use with homebridge mqtt pluginon raspberry pi.
If i am understanding the diagrams correctly the motors are directly driving the roller blinds.
