I don’t have them myself but I’ve installed a hundred or so. They’re a huge pain in the ass, by far my least favorite thing to calibrate. They have to be PERFECT or the shade will slide and cause problems.
That said, I’m absolutely going to get them when I move. They’re my favorite home automation
I'm sort of thinking about going a slightly different route and getting outside rolling shutters - the kind which are controlled by a rocker switch inside - and then putting a smart switch on those. Much more expensive but then I'd get all the benefits of metal shutters and it would hopefully be less hassle for me overall.
I think they’re totally worth it but do yourself a favor and get a large level of you don’t already have one. And go overboard with the prep work. Measure twice, cut once, etc. You’ll have a hard time releveling if you mess it up the first time.
I’ve never installed the outdoor kind. I didn’t even know those existed, I’ll have to check then out!
