Look at the axes, they aren't the progressive-authoritarian axes

I want a couple of devices that could open and close my blackout curtains depending on a schedule or smart home integration. Cheaper to make one or buy one? (beehaw.org)

They are analog roller shades. I feel like it could be a decent project but my budget isn't great, so i do want to know if that is something worth DIYing or not. Also I wouldn't know what micro controller to use.

Any tips?

Edit: also does anyone know of any federated /r/homeautomation equivalent?

I've mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that's inefficient as hell.

How do you do it? How do you backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?
