Cyber Blind you say...?  rubschin:

We have (well had) a perfectly good vertical blind in our dining room.  We never used it because we rarely use that room and it was a bit of a faff.

Now we are getting a horizontal slat blind that senses light and temperature and connects to the interweb so it can be remotely controlled from anywhere in the known universe.  And apparently it's me that is the gadget freak  rubschin:
Well, whatever, nevermind

Well quite.  All sorts of 'blind leading the blind' potential methinks.

Meantime a midnight session filling in the holes where I took down previous blind.  No I am not going to paint them over, it'll do.
Well, whatever, nevermind

Linked to remote ✓
Linked to interweb ✓
Blind in good condition X
Blind linked to temperature and heat sensors X
