    Shades? A real tech enthusiast uses PDLC Film!

    (Seriously, I wish I could afford some for all my windows.)

      Build your own! All you need is an esp32 or pi pico, stepper motor, and driver.

      That’s next on my list of projects after I finish my smart microchip keyed pet feeding stalls.

        I’m not sure the build-it-yourself route is the cheaper one compared to just buying a ZigBee smart opener

          I think they’re saying they wish they could afford PDLC film for all their windows. If you can DIY PDLC film you probably have a 3D printer the size of a tractor trailer and are 3D printing yourself a new house or something just for for the fuck of it in the backyard of your estate.
