I hand close all of these (they’re in sections - 9 total). This is me being lazy of course but I’d really love to find any way to automate them or look for a replacement during Black Friday. I’m guessing these are called plantation shutters but I’m not sure since we moved in this home about a year ago and the owner passed away. They don’t have any type of string or pull system as I mentioned before so I’m not sure if they even can be automated. Any suggestions?

 

We have AT&T Fiber currently hooked up and used as our source for both Ethernet and WiFi. As I’m adding more and more home automation, I decided to buy the “TP-Link Deco AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Mesh System” since our home is 5000sqft and the location of our AT&T stuff is in the basement (contractors can’t move it upstairs to any other place in the home for some reason). This is obviously causing wifi issues which is why I bought the TP-Links and spread them out on each floor (3 total, one in basement, one on main floor, one upstairs). They all use Ethernet since the previous owners added Ethernet ports to the entire house thankfully. But after using them for a couple of months I’ve noticed the wifi extenders disconnect quite frequently and cause issues with most of my home automation (especially the ring cameras outside and our tvs). If anyone has a solution or suggestion for a whole home wifi solution that may be more compatible with AT&T I would seriously appreciate any help. My s/o doesn’t believe any wifi extenders will ever work and just deals with using his phone data whenever he goes upstairs/far away from the basement. It’s driving me insane. Everything is slow and/or lags if you’re not in the basement.
