Motorized Exterior Shades with Homekit?

hey MPU,

Considering a summer project possibly if its cost effective. 2 rooms in our house get excessively hot in the afternoon. I was looking into getting sun shades that would be put on the exterior of the home. They have a motorized option with a remote control. I am trying to figure out if there was a way I could automate them. I doubt that it’s compatible with HomeKit, but was wondering and hoping maybe someone had already tried. I am only aware of Lutron Serena Shades but those are interior. Thoughts?

I wonder if you could control them with a universal remote and Homebridge. There are a couple tutorials out there. Here’s one where someone is controlling a ceiling fan that came with a remote.

What does the remote look like? Could you use a switchbot?
