  • Motorise your blinds. It's cheap, easy and awesome! Here's how I did it.
    After renovating our house and getting some lovely patio doors installed, I realised that I needed some shading for those rare sunny days in the UK!
    When looking to purchase some roller blinds, I didn't want a cord dangling in the middle of the doors and the only way to prevent that was to get electric blinds.
    Originally I got quotes from companies asking for thousands of pounds so I did it myself and it only cost a couple of hundred!
    If you have any questions feel free to ask.
    Below is a list of the parts I used.

    DIY means do it yourself, as in: build the thing from scratch💁 It doesn't mean: purchase the completed product you want from a website🤦

    Need a step by step install. Overview is nice but usually the devil is in the details

    You could have bought cordless blinds, cheap, just for getting rid of cord, motorizing blinds is a nonesence

    Hi I have a motorized blind with a remote. How do I automate it to open and close the shutters based on a schedule without using the remote. The blinds are from a German manufacturer

    Those are shades, not blinds. Learn the difference.

    Nice video. I am also considering. But question is how did you connect each motor to the mains ?

    Very artistically and planned video. On the audio mix, I recommend the music turn down a notch. During production the balance was probably just right, but rendering often changes the balance. If the music is loud enough to make you spaz out and hear the melody in place of the talking then it’s too high.
