I'm looking at getting new blinds for my apartment which are compatible with Alexa, and are not retrofit motors. 2 top names I see consistently are Lutron and Somfy. From reviews it sounds like Lutron-Alexa integration is mediocre at best. Anyone have experience with Somfy? Or any other recommendations? If you have them how much did they cost?
As a side note regarding the retrofit options, I've heard very mixed reviews with a lot of common complaints 1) they are slow 2) blinds go out of sync 3) require frequent recalibration/resets
I'm commenting here because I also want smart blinds at some point, and they were insanely expensive and cumbersome when I looked 2 years ago
