It’s in the bedroom and times of the year are so bright.

Does anyone know of a smart blind of any style that would work up there? [z-wave, Zigbee, WiFi, esphome, anything that’ll talk to home assistant]

We have smartwing blinds using zwave on other windows but they don’t make any for the angles

You can apply electrochromic films to existing windows.

This may actually be a great application for a film retrofit. I’ve ordered a few samples from aliexpress, and the two issues I had were: 1) optical clarity is good not great, and 2) not dark enough for my needs at maximum opacity. for an indirect window like this, that may not need to be very opaque.
