They are great. So for my new Dream Office, I wanted to also have blinds, but I wanted them to be “perfect”. Perfect here means: I never want to have to adjust them, they should do exactly what I would have done, as if they were reading my mind. Here are my rules: Default to open, maximize light if possible Lower (but not fully close) the shades to prevent direct sunlight from pouring in more than a foot past the window sill Stay open during rainy days Close at night for privacy Of course we won’t be able to do these things without some automation.
