I can let light into a room but maintain complete privacy (especially on the upper level you just see the sky)

Oof you're right, thanks!

Yup, it can theoretically do any position where this is true: Top Limit > Top of Blinds > Bottom of Blinds > Bottom Limit

Controls can seem a little funky at first, but not bad. Once you have a preset you like it's just one button.

Also work in software, and still tweaking the smart home setup to be as intervention free as possible. The upside of the blinds is that I can leave the house and they automatically close to keep cool. When my morning alarm goes off it opens the top half to let in natural light - I'm a heavy sleeper so this is well worth it for me personally. Still haven't set up smart switches, but it's next on the list. Ideally a guest could stay and never even know it's "smart".

This is shown down, it drops entirely from the top though. So when raised you have the sill. Could technically set a bottom position hovering above the sill if you didn't mind a gap

They're top-down/bottom-up, tie into my smart home setup (whole topic in itself)

To be fair, it sounds very similar...

In the same vein, I use Niagara launcher and a monochrome theme - I find it helps with the phone addiction.

Edit: This is just one tool, you also have to really want it to break habits.

Bonus:

 

Was trying to find the latest on Tesla FSD given the BYD news, I only noticed because it showed the link for a second before loading in. Doubtful the site is in any way reputable. Sloppy publishing I guess?
