Smart window opener

    I am looking for some advice.
    I want to, if possible, automate the opening and closing of the window in my bedroom. Just to let fresh air in.
    Attatched is a pic of the window.

    I was looking online and came across this and wondering would this work:
    Link from AliExpress (the 5th one called kit 4).

    Would I be right in thinking that, all I would have to do is fix the actuator to the window, wire it to the smart controller and then I could wire a plug straight to the controller?
    Would I need anything else?
    A little less than €100 delivered, doesn't sound too bad, but I am open to other suggestions.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Forgot to say I want to be able to get it working on a timer, and also be able to be controlled via an Echo or Google home.

    Looks interesting, might consider one for a velix, bit it did note that manual opening was a bit restricted after these were fitted.
