Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

Does anybody have SwitchBot blind tilts? Do you use the solar panel?

Is it's only usefulness in charging, or can you use the light sensor to control the blinds? Does that light sensing automation work well or would it be better to automate based on time of sunrise/sunset?

It will charge and it can also work as a light automation sensor.

Can’t speak how well it works with the light based automation, but I’d personally use the time of day.
