Plantation shutter motor for HA

[stephang (Stephan Gumpert)]

Looking for recommendations for Plantation Style shutters to drive the opening and closing via motor controlled by HA.

Any one done this before?

It have been discussed before.

Smartening Plantation Shutters

Has anyone found a way to smarted Plantation Shutters? My wife wants to replace our blinds with wooden (or wood look) plantation shutters which means my blind controller will no longer work. I’d still like these to be automated however… Anyone found a way to automate? There do seem to be a couple of companies that make pre-automated ones which is certainly a possibility but the costs seem unwarranted by comparison…

There should be some more threads too, because I have seen guides to do this later than that thread.
