Rise and Shine Automatic Window Blinds

I modified my alarm clock to open my bedroom shades whenever the alarm goes off (with buzzer or silently). Since the shades are now motorized they also open/close with a push of a button!

That was very cool. I'm trying to get my alarm to just wake me up, I can't figure it out.

hihi i am also trying out this idea. I was wondering wether you have a circuit that stops the motor once the blinds have opened? because otherwise the motor could burn out..

Thanks
