Hi all.
Just moved into a new build.
The electrician has run a wire to the reveals of some windows at my request to facilitate powering roller blinds that I would ideally voice operate.

To my surprise however, I'm failing to find a system that is compatible with my plan.
All systems of voice operated blinds that I've come across are battery operated, (with a retro fitting in mind.) My knowledge and skills of all things electronic is minimal, but I didn't think this would be a big problem.

As an alternative I can easily get remote control blinds, but ideally I'd be availing of Google home to use these blinds.

Any advice or guidance very gratefully received.

Any links to the remote control ones?
I'd like IR ones but can't find anything decent.
Although Ikea are supposed to be stocking them soon.
