Smart / Electric Blinds - Echo?

[craig_t]

I'm thinking of getting some electric blinds to expand my ever growing 'smart home'. I've had a little search online but not having great luck in finding something that I can confidently say works with Echo, able to schedule to close at certain times etc.

Can anyone help point me in the direction? Has anyone already got these in and can provide some feedback on them?

I bought a blind from somfy. Reading around the internet people have gotten it to work but have to admit it's been a few months since I last looked.

Although you buy them from a uk site, I think they are made in America.

I use HomeSeer & RFXCOM for home automation and can control my Somfy blinds via Echo through the HomeSeer skill.

Thanks.. Sounds like it's going to be a bit of a ball ache, or expensive game to set it up!
