Hey folks, has anyone here tried integrating linear actuators into home furniture upgrades? I’ve been tinkering with a few ideas for my home office setup—mainly thinking of motorized window shades and maybe even automating a hidden TV lift in a side cabinet. I want it to feel seamless, not like a clunky DIY patch-up. Curious if someone’s done anything similar and how you went about it, especially with the wiring and remote control part?

Oh totally —I went through a similar rabbit hole last year when I decided to add automated shades to my reading nook. The sunlight was killer in the afternoons and it always messed with my screen while I worked. I ended up using the Progressive Automations PW-RS1 motorized shade kit, and honestly, it was smoother than I expected. The installation didn’t require any wild electrical mods either—just needed to make sure my window frame could handle the mounting. The remote they include is responsive, and the motor is quiet enough that it doesn’t kill the calm vibe of the room. The trickiest part was aligning everything properly since I didn’t have completely even window frames (Motorized shade kit), but a few extra spacers did the trick. If you're thinking about hidden TV lifts too Motorized shade kit , pairing it with one of their actuator kits could work great—it’s all pretty modular.
