Is getting motorization worth the cost?
…That is a personal question that needs to be answered by you. I like to use the analogy of a TV remote, “if offered a huge TV for free that had no ability to be adjusted except by hand….would you take it?”
Will my Alexa, smart phone…etc be able to operate my shades?
…The simple answer is yes, the degree of automation is directly limited or not limited by your choice of product. Not all automation is the same.
