You bring up a lot of good points about security etc. I don't have any windows that really allow people to see in, especially at night, but now I'm wondering about some of the electric LCD blinds. They go opaque when triggered so It'd be a neat way to "black out" the windows when the shop is lit up at night.


Relying on Alexa is another fine solution to avoid the sojourns out to the shop to shut things down, but I'd fear Alexa would start getting bitchy when I need it the most.
