My house is unfortunately full of plantation blinds where you use this center stick to open and close the blinds. As you can see, one room alone has 12 points of articulation if I want all the blinds open.

Do we have any creative solutions for a way to move the ce central rod up and down to control the blinds?

What if you built a soffit in that space between the windows running horizontal. You could hide the motors etc in there. Could you then replace the bars on the windows with hollowed tubes to hide the cords and allow secure anchoring.
