Yet another project I hope to eventually have time for... Bonus, its mostly 3d printed too.

From the post:

>Most people love window shades, but many dislike the tedium of having to open and close them over the course of each day. While there are automation options here, if you’re in a rental place like [Rooster Robotics], then you’d prefer something less intrusive, as well as less cloud-bound. This is basically why he opted to build his own solution from scratch to open and close roller shades via Home Assistant.

Honestly this is ghetto. For roll up, try a through hole servo, and put it inside the top box on the shaft.

But at this juncture, its just as cost effective to buy some chink ones from amazon.

Yeah, sometimes you build something just to do it. Sometimes you don't know better.

For a "roll up" set I totally agree. Just need to put something on it to allow it to operate manually still.

Manually? That's what the slaves are for.

The west made that mistake once.. And is doing it again with Criminal Illegal Aliens.

I would rather build a house from scratch on my own than have the "slaves".
