This project allows for the operation of window blinds remotely. The blinds will open and close with the push of a button or access from website on a device.

Project Description

Two motors are used as a spool system to pull the string of the blinds when activated. Every button press will toggle the blinds from open to close or close to open. The website provides choices to operate the blinds immediately or at a scheduled time. The schedule portion allows for the user to input a daily time at which they want the blinds to open and close. The user also has the choice of adding an alarm. The three choices are Set Alarm To Turn On When Blinds Open On Schedule, Set Alarm To Turn On When Weather Is Cloudy Or Rainy, and Disable Alarm. The second option will check the forecast for the following day and sound alarm only when bad weather conditions are predicted.
