    Has anybody used a motorized blind tilt?

    I have a venetian blind in my bedroom, in about a month the sun will rise earlier than I want to wake up and it will beam onto me, which is lovely but not at 6am. I rely on sunlight to wake me up (I do have a lumie, it's great but not quite like the sun). Blind tilts are upwards of £60 so I'd like to have some confidence before I buy one.

    I read this as a tilt test (for orthostatic intolerance) that they had somehow managed to blind, where the person wouldn't know if they were having a real tilt test or not!

    Really good luck with the blind. I'm not familiar with that system, but I do have motorised blinds (roller and cellular) and the ease of operation is incredible.

    It works, I like it, only thing someone might need to consider is that it makes a whirring noise when it works, made me wake up with a bit of a start this morning! I think I'll get user to it and not notice it but if you have a lot of sound sensitivity it might be an issue.
