Automated Curtains using an Arduino

I really like to automate everything around me. Adafruit has featured this cool Automated Curtain system which uses an Arduino to handle the control. You can also carry out this idea to bring an innovative change for your house by hiding this arduino based system somewhere behind your curtains.

“I built a controller so that I can open and close my curtains from the command line! My apartment has a 16′ wide floor-to-ceiling window, and a correspondingly-huge curtain. I wanted to put the curtain under software control so I could do things like, for example, have it automatically open in the morning to help me get out of bed.”
