Automatic blind

Thunderbird2 · 2012-07-26 17:50:29

I don't know if this belongs in the home security forum but I thought I'd give it a shot .. Is anyone aware of a way to automate an existing roller blind? It has a plastic beaded pulley chain . It's to make it look as if someone is home

I have seen stuff like this in an office or hotel environment. Don't know how easy or cheap it would be in a home setting.

Haven't seen anything. A bit cheap & not very aesthetically pleasing.
