The blinds from SmartWings are surprisingly affordable. We bought a new house recently and replaced all of the old, dirty, ugly miniblinds with Z-Wave blackout cellular shades. They were about $350 or so each, and that included a solar panel for each one so that I never have to charge them. Even the two huge 8-foot wide windows were only just over $500 each.
That is not in the definition of “affordable” for many, especially as mini-blinds are closer to $50 by themselves. That would be over $6,000 to do all our windows, and even more if you wanted the Matter compatible radio. And even it is something in the range of consideration, it would usually need to be at a time where, like you, they were going to replace them one way or another.
