Meet Shieldy

Shieldy is a smart device that can be used to turn regular shutters into fully automated shutters. The 3d printed shell and other parts can be customized to fit different models.
Easy to calibrate, fast and reliable positioning, it also auto-detects and reports eventual mechanical issues.
Can be automated using HomeGenie Panel and HomeGenie Server for instance to optimize the light income based on solar time or simply to suit you daily routines and preferences.
It can be battery-powered and recharged automatically using a small solar panel.
