I have some automated blinds that i haven’t install yet, as i have a fairly new kitten that likes to use his murder mittens. He’s only 13# at seven months, so how much damage can he do. LOL. My thought was to use a motion sensor to trigger the blinds to open and close after a period of inactivity. Although closing blinds on a sleeping cat might have the expected result. Ooh, a new toy.
Ideally, I’d like to tell Alexa to lock the blinds at those times i want some privacy. Unfortunately, my Eufy motion sensors don’t play well with Alexa. I did write some YAML ro make Alexa speak when the cat is at the door, so I’m sure i could trigger a binary switch to disable any automated blind routines in HA.
Any better choices for an Alexa compatible motion sensor or better still, a cat presence sensor?
