Home automation is definitely the way to go! Let your home work for you, not the other way around! I got the automatic curtain opener (rod 2) so I never have to think about opening or closing my curtains again. I set them to a schedule then forget about them. I got the solar panels so I never have to remember to charge them. I also got the hub mini so all of my smart devices work with them. This includes Alexa Siri and Google. I also got the button so I can open or close the curtains with a push of the button. I received the automatic blind tilt so I can open and close blinds on a schedule too! These are all on sale on Amazon right now and if you use code 20KELSEY on their site then you will get 20% off in the month of March! LTKsalealert LTKhome LTKSale
