I have some existing honeycomb/cellular curtains. Here’s a picture of them:
Any ideas for how I could automate them? I couldn’t find a solution yet. Cheap is preferable. Just grab the handle to lower/raise.

It’s easy for a human to “just grab the handle” but not so much for a machine 
If you are looking to build something, then I would thing a threaded rod with a motor and your controller of choice would be able to relaibly raise and lower the curtain.
It’s what pretty much every single 3D printer uses these days:
Not sure what the cost or impact of having a threaded rod which would the the hight of your window would be.
My other thought is to have a string running up and down on a loop. I can’t imagine those are “heavy”, so a small cheap motor could do that too.
